Explanation:
5. "Hanged" is the correct past and past participle form of the verb "hang" when it refers to being suspended by a rope circling one's neck.
6. "Besides" is used to indicate an addition. "No one besides my brother" is the same as "no one in addition to my brother."
7. We do not use "rise" to refer to the action of lifting a glass. The correct verb is "raise".
8. "Your" is a possessive adjective. "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are".
9. "Between" is used when we are choosing from a pair, that is, two elements. "Among" is used when we are choosing from a group, several elements.
10. "To accept" means to receive or to agree to something.
11. "Elicit" means to obtain information, while "illicit" means illegal.
12. This sentence seems to refer to people who could not agree among themselves. "Principals" is the noun that refers to people.
13. "Precede" means to come before something.
14. "Than" is the right option when we are comparing things.
15. With respect is the same as "respectfully", which is the way you should talk to a judge in court.
16. "Stationary" refers to something or something that is not moving.
17. "Number" should be used to refer to a plural, countable noun - e.g. "a large number of flowers." "Amount" should be used to refer to a singular, uncountable noun - e.g. "a large amount of dust."
