A prepositional phrase, because it doesn't have verbs in it, starts with a preposition, and has an object.

You can discount C and D instantly: The past participle 'belonged' does not go with 'be' or 'was'. Try simplifying the sentence down to 'it was belonged' or 'it be belonged' reveals that neither sentence makes sense.\n\nThat leaves you with A or B to make viable English sentences.\n\nA would only occur if the necklace was to be a gift or if some other situation was explained. This option does not make sense without additional contextual knowledge.\n\nThat leaves B. B makes the most sense because the tenses in the sentence all agree in the past.

1. This might be an example of a phenomenon called "pro-drop" in conversational English.  It's used in many of the world's languages, such as Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, conversational German, and many others.\n\nHowever, in your case, since you're apparently a non-native speaker, I suspect that you're just hearing something different from what they're actually saying.  (Native speakers would never ask many of these questions.)\n\n2. I believe that "No, thanks" is the version that most grammarians will say is correct.  I suppose they want there to be a comma because "no" is considered an adverb, and there are usually commas between adverbs and the sentences they modify, as in "However, I bought the jeans after all."\n\n3. These endings are productive and therefore probably change over time.  If you want to choose the "right" one, you'll have to check the dictionary, I guess.\n\n4. I usually say "ten after" or "ten ten".\n\n5. These are completely different.  To fill in means to put entries into a form with spaces, as in "Please fill in this application."  To fulfill means that you complete someone or meet needs.  For example, "I fulfilled my obligation to that company."\n\n6. Actually the word is "awaken", not "waken", and they mean basically the same thing.  However "wake up" is the form that most English speakers will use in informal situations.

It depends on which is the "subject", and which is the "predicate". "With" would presume association, whilst "By" would suggest Participation.

A sentence can end with "for example." This would generally occur if the whole sentence was giving one example. Here's a sentence to show what I mean, for example.\n\nE.G. is best not used at all in formal writing, but if you do use it, use it to introduce a list of examples, not at the end of a sentence. So, "I like sweet fruits, e.g., Braeburn apples, tangerines, and pineapples." BUT "Different people like different fruits. I like sweet fruits, for example. My sister, on the other hand, likes bitter chocolate." (It's a bit choppy, but not grammatically incorrect.)

Break the sentence down into its parts:\n\nOne (subject)\nof the areas (prepositional phrase)\nof multimedia (prepositional phrase)\nthat is growing fast (prepositional phrase)\nthat is easily overlooked (prepositional phrase)\nis (verb)\nsound (object)\n\nIn this case 'that is easily overlooked' is modifying 'one of the areas of multimedia'.  It could work this way.\n\nYou could also say "One of the areas of multimedia that is growing *so* fast that it is easily overlooked is sound"\n\nIn this case the 'that it is easily overlooked' is modifying the phrase 'that is growing so fast'\n\nHowever, this whole sentence is rather verbose and I might rewrite it into a couple sentences to make your point clearer.  Why is sound overlooked?  Is it because it is growing so fast?  Or are you stating a fact that sound is just an area of multimedia that is easily overlooked?

This is a cumbersome sentence. Not hard, but just very awkwardly written. Let's analyze it methodically:\n\nThe verb here is "originated", and the simple subject is "interest". So some interest originated - who is interested in what, and where did it originate from? That's what the rest of the sentence expresses.\n\n"EU" (European Union) and "in biofuels" (fuels from biologial products) modify interest, so it implies that the EU is interested in biofuels.\n\n"from agriculture" - agriculture is the business of farming.\n\nIn other words, "The European Union mainly got interested in biofuels because of the farming industry."

I'm not sure that I understand the question exactly, but it seems to run along the lines of:\n"A preposition is a bad word to end a sentence with."\ntechnically better: ".. with which to end a sentence."\n\nSo, technically better is "In which book are you interested?"\n\nThe second part, if the contest was actually held "in the blue cap" then the first attempt is fine, if unlikely.  The second is more probably correct, describing that the contest was won by "the student in the blue cap".

This part is a bit more problematic than the first, because you switch between topics instead of focusing on specific ones. The specific example of Medan is a good one (if it's true) but the sentence following it makes little sense and doesn't connect to Medan at all. Then, from talking about the students in your town you suddenly switched to schools built by the government (and it should be "and by private sources" or something to that extent instead of "also by the non-government, too) - which is a good thing to include, but shouldn't be there.\nYour last paragraph is good.

C.  The predicate is the verb, only question C. has two action words, washed and ironed.  A and B have compound subjects, D has a compound object.

The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.\n(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

A, A, C.\n\n1) Parallel construction has to do with listing items in a series all in the same way. Only A achieves that.\n2) B, C, D have completely unrelated ideas, but for A you could say "The day became longer, so the children could play outside later."\n3) A is not a compound sentence, it is complex.\n    B changes the meaning of the sentence\n    C must be the answer.

I know you're going to hate me for pointing this out, but either one is grammatically correct. There is no right or wrong here. It's simply a question of degree. To what degree has your optimism impacted you? What are you really trying to say? Your intent will determine which word you choose. Say each one out loud and go with the one that feels right for your intended message.\n\nAnd by the way -- it's "moments like these WHEN" (not where).

I think you'd have to put it in context to get a decent answer (at least from someone who hasn't read the article to which you refer).  It could mean any number of things depending on the sentences that preceded or followed it.

This is fine, down to the last sentence of the first paragraph. You shouldn't start the sentence with 'especially'.  A comma after 'construction', & then,  'especially if the crew doesn't know you are in the building.'\nThe words non-business would be better hyphenated.

C.  The tree was planted by Mary.\n\nIn every other sentence, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb.  The subject of sentence "C" is TREE.  The tree recieves the action- not performs the action, so it is passive. \n\nActive voice would read:  Mary planted the tree.

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm a grammar teacher, so I don't think anyone will get mad if you violate it.\n\nHowever, the form of your sentence that would fit the rule would be: "Come to Manchester, in which we will meet some interesting people."\n\nIt doesn't really do anything for me, either.
