Answer
Brief Explanations:
For question 9, "thrust" implies a more forceful action compared to "put", which is more appropriate in the context. For question 10, the sentence is a simple - structured one and changing "was" to "were" would be incorrect as the subject - verb agreement is correct. Changing the comma to a semicolon is not necessary as the two parts of the sentence are not independent clauses. Changing "their" to "they're" is a wrong usage of homophones. Changing "me" to "myself" is incorrect as there is no need for a reflexive pronoun here.
Answer:
- d. thrust
- a. No change (assuming none of the given options are correct as per the above - mentioned reasoning)
