(Is this sentence correct?)
1. Neither is correct. Try this:

or

3. Both are fine.
4. 4-1 and 4-2 are correct.

1. The first sentence, "They are balls on the desk," is grammatically correct. However, for clarity, it would be better to say "There are balls on the desk."
The second sentence, "The balls on the desk are some," is not grammatically correct. It is unclear what "some" refers to. A possible correction would be "There are some balls on the desk."
2. The correct term is "given name." The order in which names are typically written is: given name (first name), middle name (if any), and last name (surname).
3. Both sentences are correct, but they have slightly different emphasis. "I live with my parents in the country" puts more emphasis on living with parents, while "I live in the country with my parents" emphasizes the location.
4. The correct sentence is "Kate drank a Coke." "Coke" refers to the brand name of a specific type of cola. It should be capitalized as it is a proper noun.
5. Both variations are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. "Don bought a cup of ice cream" implies that Don bought a specific amount of ice cream in a cup. "Don bought an ice cream" suggests that Don bought one serving or unit of ice cream, regardless of the container. "Don bought ice cream" is more general and doesn't specify the form or quantity of the ice cream.
6. At a snack bar, it depends on the establishment whether you can buy wine or liquor. Some snack bars may serve alcohol, while others may not. The food available at a snack bar typically includes items like sandwiches, burgers, fries, snacks, and other quick and casual foods. A "snack bar" is not the same as a "dining room." A snack bar is generally a more casual and informal eating area, while a dining room is typically a dedicated space for formal dining.
7. The sentence "I bought my friend an ice cream cone" is correct. It states that the speaker purchased an ice cream cone for their friend.
