connected to vs connected with

[Linh Bui Hoang]

Please help me to check my exercise below.

The following is a piece of a gap-filling exercise:
Even in our own times, researchers have tried to prove that a person’s character is somehow connected (1) ______ the way they look.
Me: with
My teacher: to

It took a few days after the cheque had arrived for me to realize that our life would never be the same again – it was a dream (1) _____ true. Like everyone else, I had often (2) _____ what it would be like not having to worry about paying the bills and just making ends meet.
1. A made; B come; C being; D become
I chose A but my teacher C
2 A planned; B predicted; C imagined; D enjoyed
I chose C but my teacher D

The following is a piece of an exercise whose task is to conjugate the verbs in bracket:
In recent years on the bog screen we (1_SEE) ______Lukas Haas play the boy who (12_WITNESS) _______ a murder in the film "WITNESS".
Me: 1.have seen; 2.witnesses
My teacher: 1.have seen; 2.witnessed

Hi,

My comments in italics:

The following is a piece of a gap-filling exercise:
Even in our own times, researchers have tried to prove that a person’s character is somehow connected (1) ______ the way they look.
Me: with
My teacher: to I would suggest 'to'.

It took a few days after the cheque had arrived for me to realize that our life would never be the same again – it was a dream (1) _____ true. Like everyone else, I had often (2) _____ what it would be like not having to worry about paying the bills and just making ends meet.
1. A made; B come; C being; D become
I chose A but my teacher C
2 A planned; B predicted; C imagined; D enjoyed
I chose C but my teacher D

I would choose 'come' and 'imagined'.

The following is a piece of an exercise whose task is to conjugate the verbs in bracket:
In recent years on the big screen we (1_SEE) ______Lukas Haas play the boy who (12_WITNESS) _______ a murder in the film "WITNESS".
Me: 1.have seen; 2.witnesses
My teacher: 1.have seen; 2.witnessed.

I would choose 'see' and 'witnesses.'
