Answer : 3. "in spite of"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:

I couldn't sleep because I was very tired.

Explanation: The phrase "in case of being very tired" is awkward and not commonly used in English. Instead, you can use the phrase "because I was very tired" to clearly express the reason for not being able to sleep.

Answer : 4. "whom were"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:

There were ten children in the class, six of whom were crying.

Explanation: In the original sentence, "which" is incorrect because it refers to things, not people. Instead, "whom" should be used to refer to the children, and the verb "was" should be corrected to "were" to agree with the plural subject "six children."
