'Yet' is used to show the contrast between two conditions and it is incorrect according to the context of the given sentence so it will be replaced by 'still'. Hence, 'still raining' will be the correct sentence structure. Still is used when something was happening in the past and is happening at the time of speaking too. Eg- He is still preparing for a government job.

if you like it
I shall buy
this book
If is used when a statement is giving a Conditional sense (means that will occur if we do this). Whether is used when we have to choose between two options for e.g. whether you want or not. So, 'whether' will be the correct sentence structure. because he wants to say that he will buy the book whether the other person likes it or not.
Question 3:
The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
If you rent a house near your office, it will save you time as well as also money.
If you rent a house
near your office
it will save you time
as well as also money
as well as also money 'As well as' is a conjunction that means in addition. It connects two nouns, pronouns etc. to each other. So, use only 'money' in place of 'also money'. The conjunction 'as well as' is not immediately followed by also'. Hence the correct sentence will be as: If you rent a house near your office, it will save you time as well as money.

'Neither' means 'none of the two' and 'Either' 'means one of the two'. However, in the given sentence, 'But' is used which brings a negative sense in the sentence and for it, we will use 'Neither'. Hence, 'but neither is' will be the correct sentence structure.

and also the
To write

a diary
As the 'place' mentioned in the given sentence is not definite, it may be any quiet place, so we will use the indefinite article 'a' before it. Hence, 'and also a quiet place' will be the correct sentence structure.

Some Nouns like Cattle, work, Information, Scenery, Furniture, etc. are always written in the singular form so we can't make their plural form. For example, 'furniture' is correct but 'furnitures' is incorrect. Similarly in the given sentence, 'informations' will be replaced with 'information'.

Paul was / bited by a dog / when he was a child.
bited by a dog
was a child
Paul was
when he
The given sentence is in the simple past tense(V2) so the verb must be used in its simple past form and the simple past form of 'bite' is 'bit' not 'bited'. Hence, 'bit by a dog' is the most appropriate structure.

on time
your work

The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.

The more harder
you work
"The more harder" - When we do a comparison between two things, we don't use 'more' with a comparative degree (harder) because it becomes a case of superfluousness (not necessary). Hence, 'more' will be removed from the sentence & 'The harder' becomes the most appropriate structure.

but she
She is capable
to do better
