One point for each correct answer – where there is more than one missing word in the numbered line you have to get all the words correct for the point. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.

If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier.
