Your answers to #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6 are correct. Your answer to #5 is incorrect.

Are you sure you typed #7 correctly? It seems a bit strange. #8 is a duplicate.

The problem was that there was no "with" option.

I knew for " I am mad at you" but not "I am angry at you".

The answer is "at".

"with" would also be correct, but, as you say, it is not an option.

Is there not an answer key to these exercises, Salim?

Here is a hint for questions #9 and #11: like other negative adverbs, 'hardly' triggers inversion of the subject and auxiliary
verb when it begins a sentence. So does the construction 'not only... but also'.
