1- FOR is a preposition, so after preposition either noun or ing

2- we need verb and noun for the adjective clause who....

3- we need a subject and a part of the verb because we have a p.p verb chosen

4- we need a subject and a verb to complete the sentence ... there is the sub and were the verb

5- there are the word more in the sentence so we are looking for the word than....

6- adjective clause for the noun using that... other choices include verb without any type of connectors

7- we have 2 full structures so we need a connector, because structure1, structure2

8- we need a verb to complete the structure

9- the main verb of the sentence is moved, "were opposed to the American Revolution of 1776 " is a part of adjective clause so the right answer must include either who, which, or that,,,, the right and because we are talking about people we are looking for who/that... the right answer is who...

10- the answer is so which is the A choice.... because “So” is used with “that” to add extra information (Ref.: https://www.espressoenglish.net/common-errors-in-english-difference-between-so-very-and-a-lot/)

6- it is a one structure... the first part include sub+ verb+ preposition(obj) , we have the word observation so after that wee need either another preposition or an adjective for the word observation .... the trick here that we think the choice that the heavenly bodies go ) is incorrect because of existing of the word heavenly, but in fact heavenly is an adjective not an adverb,,,, so the right answer is D

 

7- we have to full structures so we need a connector, the right answer is Because choice A

 

8- it is in the passive form (simple present) so we are looking for be_verb + p.p ....we have (is used) choice number A

 

9- the main verb of the structure is (moved) so (were opposed) is a part of an adjective, we need to complete the subject and because we have the subject is referenced to people, we need who /that for the adjective clause, we have (settlers who) is the right answer D
