Those are not 'kinds' of persons. These are kinds of persons:

I like someone who is generous.

Thank you so much. I was afraid that the question would not be the right one for the choices of answers. Anyway, if a person wanted to detail his or her preference as to a person he likes, which one would be correct? I think sentences 3 and 9 can mean one is riding more than one skateboard and jump more than one rope at one time respectively which is what I don't want them to mean. As to example sentences 4, 5 and 6, I think number 4 is incorrect, whereas the other two are not, since we are stating a general preference. Please help.
