Dude these are personal questions that only you can answer. I recommend that you use a dictionary to find the definitions of each word. From there you can make a sentence with each word.
It would be A.
The incorrect contraction in that sentence is it's. It's is a contraction for it is, so it basically means : They're following the creek to it is source. This doesn't make sense. So, you would replace it with the other form, which is its. Its shows possession.
Hope this helps!
1.A unclear
2.C deferential
3.B epigraph

6.A the holocaust

They are right. I promise you
Your welcome. ;)
