Good morning, EE.
2 -- I'm still having trouble with this one; I wonder if there is not an article missing ('the cold'). If the 'the' were there, I find your first and second answers both OK ('from', 'with').
4 -- OK
6 -- OK but I think you have inverted the word order; it should be 'walked straight'.
7 -- Wrong. Try again.
9 -- 'By' is OK
