Saori-san,
How are you feeling these days? It's great to keep working hard on the test, but don't overdo it ok? Your health must come first. Anyway let me answer these questions.
113:
When you use "on" in that context, the following word has to be something electrical, which means electric or electronic devices, as such TV, radio, or Internet. "in" on the other hand, is used with a traditional means of communication, such as Newspapers or magazines. Therefore the asnwer should be "in"
The article in (a newspaper, a book, or a magazine)
The article on (the internet, the radio, or TV)
117:
You are right. Apart from the meaning of the sentence, "be subscribed to something" is grammatically unacceptable.
"Someone (subcribe to) something" is the original form.
and note that the sentence for the question is used in the "passive voice."
Something is subcribed to (by someone)
"something" already comes in the front with "be subsribed to", so "the planning division" is gramatically redundant.
130:
You are right again :)
The document indecates your acceptance.
In this sentance, you can't use a "simple verb form" because a verb's already used there. Therefore, you should use "ing form" to create one object.
(ex)
Look at the cat
the cat is bitting a mouse.
Look at (the cat bitting a mouse)= one object.
131:
I'm sorry but it should be "by"
As I told you last Saturday, they are different.
let's think about it with some examples below.
(1)I sent the letter until the due day.
(2)I sent the letter by the due day.
The both COULD be ok, but (1) doesn't make much sense really. It could mean "I sent the letter, but because the due day came, I decided not to send the letter"
Is that what 130 really means?
"In sipte of some problems, the package was sent "until" the due day, and they decided to stop sending it because the due day finally came"
Let's think how "until" should be used now.
(1)I studied English until 3 o'clock
(1) I studied English until 3...but because it was 3 then, I dicided to stop studying.
Let me give you a tip to tell the difference.
by: completion
it is usually used with the following verbs
(submit,finish,complete,return,deliver,register)
until: continuation
ued with verbs below
(wait,continue,stay,remain,last, open)
hmmm.. I wish I could explain in Japanese so that you could probably understand it much more easily, but my pc is not available in Japanese. Sorry, it's getting too long, so I'll stop here and start later again.
