QUESTIONS with grammar help please?

Could you please take a look at this?

1 I'm selling everything except for/apart from...
2 I left the TV on as background image/sound. (can you say both because I mostly hear SOUND?) (I know I've asked this but I don't know if you can say IMAGE?)
3 You can hear the phone viberating better if its on a table rather than on the floor.
4 I can be your girlfriend for tonight in front of everyone so that people think you do have one.
5 The cord can't reach the plug from here.
6 Follow me while you wait/are waiting for your appointment.

7 The worse team we could have come up against was LA. We got lucky in the draw and got an easy team as opponent in the first round.
8 There are always yellow ones left at the end of the pack of candy because there are more yellow ones to begin with and I don't like them as much as the other colors. (candy)
9 How many minutes do I have left before it shuts off.

10 I usually finish the meat before the side dish.

thank you

1. except for

2. sound

6. are waiting

7. worst

9. 'left' is ok if it has been going on for a while; if it's just beginning, no 'left'

10. I think that 'eating' belongs in there before 'the meat'

2 I left the TV on as background image/sound. (can you say both because I mostly hear SOUND?) (I know I've asked this but I don't know if you can say IMAGE?) (but what if you're leaving it on for the image and not the sound?)
5 The cord can't reach the plug from here. (is it Can't and not Won't?)
