Hi Mister Micawber,
Thank you very much for your corrections.
For 5c. 'How did Marta look?' The answer is 'She looked very angry.'
Could I also answer, 'She was angry' instead of that one?
My opinion is that I can't because she just gave the impression to be angry, But we can't assure she was. Right?

Thinking SpainCould I also answer, 'She was angry' instead of that one?Yes, of course—natural conversation does not repeat the words; it offers variations of natural utterances.
Thinking Spain But we can't assure she was.She looked angry; therefore, she was angry. You cannot assume anything else.
