1. Both options can be correct, depending on the context. The use of "in" or "of" before "the Netherlands" is a matter of preference and can vary based on individual writing style. However, in general, "in" is more commonly used when referring to the location of a specific event or action taking place within the Netherlands, while "of" is used to denote possession or association with the people or things related to the Netherlands. So, in the context of the sentence, "What are people in the Netherlands hoping for?" implies that people living within the country are being referred to. On the other hand, "What are people of the Netherlands hoping for?" implies that the question is about the hopes and aspirations of the Dutch people as a whole, regardless of their location.
2. The sentence "They are hoping for another cold weather" is grammatically incorrect. The correct sentence should be "They are hoping for cold weather." Without the word "another," the sentence indicates people's desire for cold weather in general.
3. The sentence "How long didn't the race take place?" is grammatically incorrect. A more correct and clearer phrase would be "How long did the race not take place?" or "For how long did the race not take place?"
4. The sentence "Since what year, the race didn't take place?" is also grammatically incorrect. A more grammatically correct way to phrase this would be "Since when did the race not take place?" or "From which year did the race not take place?"
