Answer : 4. "to say anything"
Explanation :
The correct sentence should be:
She was too startled at first to say anything, but finally, she blurted out the truth.
Explanation: The phrase "to say something" is the appropriate choice here. The verb "startled" is typically followed by an infinitive verb form, so "to say" is used. Additionally, the sentence benefits from proper punctuation, including a comma after "first" and another after "finally."

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."
