- known as
- you can’t choose the answer “names” because it is grammatically wrong.
- about
- You can’t have the answer “over” because we don’t know if it is over or under. Therefore, you need to use the word “about”. Another option for paraphrasing would be “approximately”.
- identify
- revealed / found
- Both options are fine.
- particular
- You must have the correct spelling. If your spelling is wrong, your answer is marked wrong.

All the best
