To find the correct answers to the given questions, let's break down each question and analyze the options:

1. My father always COMPLAINS that my sister's boyfriend is lazy.
- The correct answer is "a. complains." This is the present tense verb that matches the subject "father."

2. Uncle Frisbee, who BE as bald as a grapefruit, buys every new hair-growing tonic he HAVE heard about on television.
- The correct answer is "d. is... has." The verb "be" is used in the present tense, and "have" is the correct auxiliary verb.

3. Why DO it happen that every time I DROP my toast, it FALL on the buttered side?
- The correct answer is "b. does... drop... fall." In this question, "do" is used for the third-person singular subject "it," "drop" is the base form of the verb after the auxiliary "do," and "fall" is the correct verb that agrees with the subject.

4. Several students in this class HAVE a near-perfect attendance record, but only one student in all the classes HAVE a perfect attendance record.
- The correct answer is "c. have... has." "Several students" and "one student" are both plural subjects, so "have" refers to the plural subject and "has" refers to the singular subject.

5. I must HAVE DROVE around the development for a half hour before I WAS ABLE TO FIND my brother's new house.

- The correct answer is "d. had finished his homework." The correct tense to use is the past perfect tense, "had finished," to indicate that the homework was completed before going to the movies.

7. More people are going back to college because
- The correct answer is "a. they want to improve their career situation." The verb "want" agrees with the plural subject "they."

8. Some people wonder if the use of computers in today's professions

9. Movies used to be about the dramatic plots and the intricate characters; now
- The correct answer is "c. it is about sex, gore, and special effects." The pronoun "it" refers to the subject "movies."

10. Oscar Wilde once said that a marriage is comprised of two individuals:
