1) b--with 2) d--of, under 3) Any of them could fit, the best fit is a--should 4) b--The Declaration of Independence (This has nothing to do with the English language and everything to do with American History.) 5) b--figure (You may want to check the wording in the question, though. What's "collocate"?) Then again, do I even count? Maybe not, since I'm American and have been speaking American English all my life...
