Firstly, Really thanks for your answers to my questions.
as of now, i will explain my answer to my questions.

secondly, Donna, you are right. I have a book. but i am not taking any
course on english now,i am not taking any assignment or homework on
this book. I am reading it only to develop my reading. To develop
english, I have subscribed newsweek magazine for 2 years. but its
grammar is hard for me. I left my subscription this year. So I want to
develop my reading skills by working on this book. My questions are not
homework or assignment. I am not responsible for showing them as a
homework to another person. to read this book is only my own work, my
hobby.Another point, before I sent the questions, I worked on it.

Thank you. I believe you. I wasn't really worried that you were cheating
on a teacher, although that could happen. What I was trying to say is
that there several advantages if you to state your answer or guess, and
ask us to confirm it. It's easier for us to give you a useful answer in
reply.

It's harder on you, at first, but it works out better in the long run --
less wasted time, fewer silly squabbles and misunderstandings, more
satisfaction all round.

if i
want you to solve all, i can send all of the paragraph and questions.
you, CDB, are saying:

" You missed another word, "those", in the sentence beginning" i am
asking you only what i didn't understood.

Third, if you want to controll texbook and my questions i can send it
as a pdf file.

Fourth, if you don't want to answer my question, it is your usual
right. you can do it.
but you are not only person to answer my question.if you don't answer ,
don't write anything as a reply.

Naturally.

Fifth. sometimes there are different answers. I am not nonnative
speaker. which one is grammatical? i am confusing. this is another
problem.

Yes, indeed, it's a problem, with various factors such the regions,
personalities, expertise, and clarity of expression of the posters.

I don't want to repeat myself unduly, but *how* you write your post has
a lot to do with how much good you get out of the answers. A broad
open-ended question like "What's the difference between X and Y" is
going to give answers that scatter all over the place. A more specific
yes-no question like "Does XXX mean the same thing as YYY?" is more
likely to work better.

So, in that Charles Darwin passage, do you have any guesses at all as to
the right answers?
