I'm pretty sure it's a joke, meant to show you how a paragraph can be horribly misinterpreted if read incorrectly. Hopefully, the first paragraph is the right one. The second one is bizarre.

Yes, 22 and 23 are correct.\n\nIn 24, I'm not sure what is underlined.  In A, B, and D, the "but" and "for" are conjunctions.  In C, "for" is a preposition.\n\n25 is B.  "quickly" modifies "hid."

No, the syntax of your sentence is correct, and you've used the adjective 'syntactical' correctly as well. (Just remember to capitalise the first letter of a sentence!)

"He is a good dancer" is the corrent, you need an article "a" or "the" so the second sentence is incorrect and the third one has the words in the wrong order.

The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.\n(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

Example : "He studies [Kabbalah], but probably not as enthusiastically as I do....Brits are kind of allergic to the idea [of God]." Madonna - Us Weekly\n\nThe use of parenthesis shows that those are not the exact words Madona used, the words in the parenthesis are added to make it clear what she was talking about.  Also, when they use ... it means that something was left out of the quote.

I'm sorry I'm replying without answering the question, but please, PLEASE, PLEASEEE never never NEVER put an unnecessary apostrophe in the posessive form of "its." I can see maybe leaving out a necessary apostrophe if you're too lazy, but adding one just demonstrates ignorance, because technically it takes more time to do so. Please don't, for the more sensitive among us. Open a grammar book. It's a tragedy the subject's not taught these days.

It is not a sentence...\n\nBeneath the noted universal concerns there lies a distinctive world view.\n\n Or better yet use a semi colon after the word preceeding but ..then replacing it with however and a comma...like this \n\n" ; however, beneath these universal concerns there lies a distinctive worldview."

the second on is correct, rule #3\n\n\nRule 1.  Use the apostrophe with contractions. The apostrophe is always placed at the spot where the letter(s) has been removed.  \n  Examples  don't, isn't \nYou're right. \nShe's a great teacher.  \nRule 2.  Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.  \n  Examples  one boy's hat\none woman's hat\none actress's hat\none child's hat\nMs. Chang's house\nMr. Jones's golf clubs\nTexas's weather\nMs. Straus' s daughter\nJose Sanchez's artwork\nDr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)\nMrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)  \nRule 3.  To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.  \n  Examples  two boys' hats\ntwo women's hats\ntwo actresses' hats\ntwo children's hats\nthe Changs' house\nthe Joneses' golf clubs\nthe Strauses' daughter\nthe Sanchezes' artwork\nthe Hastingses' appointment\nthe Leeses' books  \nRule 4.  With a singular compound noun, show possession with 's at the end of the word.  \n  Example  my mother-in-law's hat  \nRule 5.  If the compound noun is plural, form the plural first and then use the apostrophe.  \n  Example  my two brothers-in-law's hats  \nRule 6.  Use the apostrophe and s after the second name only if two people possess the same item.  \n  Examples  Cesar and Maribel's home is constructed of redwood. \nCesar's and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is separate ownership.\n\n\nCesar and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is joint ownership of more than one contract. \n \nRule 7.  Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, theirs, ours, yours, whose. They already show possession so they do not require an apostrophe. The only time an apostrophe is used for it's is when it is a contraction for it is.  \n  Examples  This book is hers, not yours. \nIt hurt its paw. \nIt's a nice day. \nIt's your right to refuse the invitation.  \nRule 8.  The plurals for capital letters and numbers used as nouns are not formed with apostrophes.  \n  Examples  She consulted with three M.D.s.\nBUT\nShe went to three M.D.s' offices.\nThe apostrophe is needed here to show plural possessive.\n\nShe learned her ABCs.\nthe 1990s not the 1990's\nthe '90s or the mid-'70s not the '90's or the mid-'70's\nShe learned her times tables for 6s and 7s.  \nRule 9.  Use possessive case in front of a gerund (ing word).  \n  Examples  Alex's skating was a joy to behold. \nThis does not stop Joan's inspecting of our facilities next Thursday.  \nRule 10.  If the gerund has a pronoun in front of it, use the possessive form of that pronoun.  \n  Examples  I appreciate your inviting me to dinner. \nI appreciated his working with me to resolve the conflict.

I'd advice you to ignore, frankly, some of the advice you've been given on this thread. The four options you put forward are in the following tenses: (1) simple past; (2) present perfect; (3) past perfect; (4) future perfect. Hence, the present perfect of the sentence is "Norman has studied algebra".
