I'm only a student teacher so can only give you a general answer others may be able to help more but:

1. ...into some pieces or into pieces - if you say he cut the pizza to pieces the meaning changes and makes the pizza an unappetising mess!

2...contain a lot of vit.C

3. OK

4...invented not invited - a nice idea!

5...to bed (= for wearing to bed i.e. just before going to bed - time here is indicated as minimal)

he wears PJs before going to bed may indicate a longer period of time e.g. he likes to wear PJs around the house even if he will not be going to bed for a long time i.e. he's a slob!

6...to the pan

7. The rose stem has thorns - may be better but your answer is OK

8. most people would write/say ... He's cut the branch off - as in - the branch is no longer attached to the tree - there is now nothing to hold it up - so the word down is not needed.

Hope this helps
