Hi,

Where is the assignment taken from?

From a test for competition

I don't mean any offense, but if it's for a competition, is it fair to ask others to correct your work? It should be your own best effort.

This is from the competition test from 2000 . I am practising everything from grammar that I can find because I am prepareing for my entrance exam . I do not compete and such competitions can not be done at home or with using computer, it must be done at school supervised by teachers .

I would like if someone can correct my mistakes and explain . Thanks .

Thank you . I completely agree . 15 years is too much . Money just can not buy time or life ...

P.S My teacher say that correct answer for 3. is himself

Himself is ALSO okay, but not the only possible answer. The idea that he was speaking "angrily" seems to make it less likely to me than talking to no one.
