    I'm not going to do your work for you but I think you have probably misunderstood the instructions.
    I think you need to use the word you have given (sometimes possibly in a different tense) but alongside other words so that it makes sense.

    eg

    I was not able to see what had been done.

    Possible

    I ......................... to see what had been done.

    --> I found that it was not possible to see what had been done.

    no that is a problem, the structure said: rewrite the sentences with the word given ( in the exact same form given).

    its not the way you think, I already studied them and try to solve them but still some sentences doesn't make any sense to me.
    I thought its better to get help and then compare with my answers,

    anyway thanks for ur time :-)

    The only way they will make sense is if you are allowed to use additional words in the blank space.

    You said it asked you to "rewrite the sentences with the word given ( in the exact same form given)". They just mean don't change the word given. It doesn't mean you can't add words.

    So, eg on your last example (number 5), you HAVE to keep the word as "assisted" and you can't change it to "assists" or "assisting" etc.
    That's all it means.

    There's no other way to do it. You are right-there is no way to make the sentences make sense (UNLESS you do it the way I have said).

    This forum isn't a place for getting help with your homework. I'd advise you to ask your teacher/lecturer for extra help if you need it. Thread locked.
