I urgently need you to check these sentences I need to hand in for tomorrow and a few words.

Are they both possible?
2) a two-tone jumper/ a two-colour jumper (which is best?)
3) She proposed going to the cinema
She proposed that I should go to the cinema alone.
She proposed (intedended) to go to the cinema.
4) She recommended that I should move to London. (Wrong: she recommended me to leave for Paris??)
5) She ensured that I arrived home sound and safe (??).
6) She considered going to the cinema.
She arranged that a troupe of actors should come and re-enact his father's murder.

1) Yes, both "knee-high socks" and "knee socks" are possible. They both refer to socks that reach up to the knee.
2) Both "a two-tone jumper" and "a two-color jumper" are correct, but the usage may vary depending on the region or style guide you are following. In general, "two-tone" is more commonly used and understood.
3) The first sentence, "She proposed going to the cinema," is grammatically correct. It means that she suggested or suggested the idea of going to the cinema.
The second sentence, "She proposed that I should go to the cinema alone," is also correct. It indicates that she suggested or recommended that you go to the cinema by yourself.
The third sentence, "She proposed (intended) to go to the cinema," is a bit unclear. It seems like there might be missing information or context. As it stands, it suggests that she intended to go to the cinema, but it could be improved by adding more context or clarifying the intention.
4) The correct sentence is "She recommended that I should move to London." It means that she advised or suggested that you move to London. The second part, "she recommended me to leave for Paris," is grammatically incorrect. It should be "she recommended that I leave for Paris." However, this would change the meaning of the sentence, so it's important to use the correct form based on the intended meaning.
5) The correct sentence is "She ensured that I arrived home safe and sound." It means that she made certain or guaranteed that you arrived home safely.
