- in problem 6 blank d, it would not be wrong to choose 'in'. I think it is simplest to remove '(ア) in ' from the list of possible answers, or replace it with something else.

- in problem 6, question (9) (should it be question 8?), in choice (b), change 'health problem' to 'health problems'. (@mdchachi already made this comment in another thread)

- in problem 6, question (9), choice (d), change 'TFT recognized' to 'TFT recognizes'.

- in problem 7, '同じものは選ばないこと', are words missing here? 何回も?

- in problem 7, (9) (b), change 'joind' to 'joined' (@mdchachi already made this comment in another thread)

- in problem 7, (9) (d), change 'recognize' to 'recognizes' (@mdchachi already made this comment in another thread)

- in problem 8, (2) is the word 'it' missing?

- in problem 9, (2), it seems that at least four words are needed. I recommend changing '3~5' to '4~6' ('Most students here are' or 'Most of the students here are')

- 'Making English exams are always hard for me.' Change to 'Making English exams is always hard for me.'
 
Sorry, joadbrres. I have a question.
- in problem 7, '同じものは選ばないこと', are words missing here? 何回も?
What do you mean by that? I want the students to chose each choice only once here. That's why I put '同じものは選ばないこと'.
- in problem 6 blank d, it would not be wrong to choose 'in'. I think it is simplest to remove '(ア) in ' from the list of possible answers, or replace it with something else.
Yes. I'll follow your advice. I'll omit "in". Thanks for the useful suggestion.

- in problem 8, (2) is the word 'it' missing?
Yes, you are right. I've corrected it.
(2)この建物は、障害者が簡単に使えるように設計されている。
This ( )( )( )( )( )( )( ).
(ア)designed (イ)building (ウ)so that (エ)easily (オ)can use it (カ)is (キ)disabled people
- in problem 9, (2), it seems that at least four words are needed. I recommend changing '3~5' to '4~6' ('Most students here are' or 'Most of the students here are')
Yes, you are right. I omitted "here". I've changed it into 4~6 words.

Would you check my answers to Question 9 as well?
1 We had plenty of rain last month.
2 Most (of the) students here are from Africa.
3 My dictionary includes eighty thousand words.
4 He thought that things and places should be easy for everyone/anyone to use.
5 The Internet can connect us to the world.
 
What do you mean by that? I want the students to chose each choice only once here. That's why I put '同じものは選ばないこと'.

Yes, I understood what you want. I wasn't sure if the Japanese phrase you wrote clearly conveyed that instruction to your students, as it sounded a little confusing to me. I am not a native Japanese speaker, though, so if you are satisfied that your instruction is fine, then of course it is.

Would you check my answers to Question 9 as well?

They are all fine. I could understand that these are the answers you intended when I originally read your questions.

Just so you know, use of the word 'plenty' often includes a nuance of a good thing, rather than an undesirable thing. I probably would not have used the word 'plenty' when translating the 9 (1) sentence, but as you instruct your students to use that word, it is OK, and no changes are needed.
 
Thanks for your ongoing help, joadbres.

I hadn't known that when I made that question. But a native speaker in another site taught me the difference between "a lot of" and "plenty of". I should have known that.
