thank you jackie
Ok, let me try a bit.
1> I would choose D. "Internet" and "Regular Mail" appears in the same sentence; this sentence is trying to compare these two communication methods. you a comparative here.
2> I'd pick B. when mentioned "his face suggestED" in the first part of this sentence, it suggested that the whole thing happened in the past, so you need to use a verbal in a past form. besides "be" mostly comes after "to" (to be), which you can find nowhere from this sentence, right?
3> I'd say it would be A. "because" is always followed by a subordinate clause that can be pretty much a whole complete sentence by itself without any modification. "Because Of" is always followed by a factor in noun form or equivalence. In this case, it is "what the teacher had said...". The second part of the sentence can be considered as the reason in a noun form. For example:
I left China because I would love to experience different cultures.
again, "I would love to experience different cultures." is a prefect sentence that can stand alone itself.
it can also be expressed in this way:
I would love to experience a different cultures. I left China becuase OF that.
4> It is C. this is a no-brainer(means too easy to do). you need "that" to lead the second part of the sentence that decribes the "it" at the front. "how strange IT is", what is? IT is! What is IT? "the children are so quiet" is. so you need to plug this subordinate clause into the main sentence. how? you need "that" in this case to lead the subordinate clause.
I hope it helps.
