Answer 1

1. How much does this paper cost?
2. The news was so sad that she grew desperate.
3. A cousin of mine looks very depressed due to nasty weather!

Answer 2

1. How much does this paper cost? - The correct sentence is: "How much does this paper cost?" The verb "cost" should be in the base form because "does" is already a helping verb.

2. The news were so sad that she grew desperate. - The correct sentence is: "The news was so sad that she grew desperate." The subject "news" is singular, so the verb "was" should be used instead of "were."

3. The cousin of mine looks very depressed due to a nasty weather! - The correct sentence is: "My cousin looks very depressed due to the nasty weather!" It is more natural to say "my cousin" instead of "the cousin of mine." Additionally, "the" should be removed before "nasty weather" since we are referring to weather in general, not a specific instance of it.
