Probably 1 should be a, but you could use b if the context is referring to somewhere, where you quite obviously no longer go. ) 7c (none of the others can be used) 8a 9b - it would have been correct to use during here, but obviously the exercise didn't give you that option. 10b In my opinion only "It's two months since they divorced" is correct.
