Thank you dkpbus.

Those answers may be totally wrong. These questions and answers are from unknown source. Maybe someone distorted them intentionally. As I can't get official answers for them, I am in the middle of fixing them by hearing your comments and explanations.

Regarding #6, I agree with you on the point that the answer should be D.
