このにもつを ______。
- とどきました
  This one is wrong. It should be とどけました。 In that case, the sentence means "I delivered this luggage.
- あずかって
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "Please keep this luggage temporarily"
  
  The sentence ends in gerund-form; the request form (casual-style).
- おこう
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "Let's put this luggage (someplace)"
- おろしてください
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "Please unload this luggage."
  
  Note
```
X をおりる get off from X (bus or train)
X をおろす unload X (object) or let X (person) get off
```
  So "Let me get off here" is ここでおろして下さい。
_____ はずですよ。
- やくにたつ
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "It is expected to be useful"
- 学会に出る
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "S/he is expected to attend the conference."
  
  Remember that this sentence never refers to the speaker!
- だいじょうぶ
  This one is wrong. It needs な: だいじょうぶなはずです。 ("It should be ok.)
- もうたのみました
  This one is wrong. はず must be preceded by direct style.
_____ 人ですね。
- めずらしい
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "S/he is a rare person, isn't s/he?"
- ゆうめい
  This one is wrong. ゆうめい is a な-Nominal: ゆうめいな人。 The negative form of this word is ゆうめいじゃない .
- 元気
  This one is wrong. 元気 is a な-Nominal: 元気な人。 Remember, though, that to say "a person who was healthy" you must say 元気だった人。
- このはこをくれた
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "It is the person who gave us this box, right?"
_____ つもりですが。
- りょこうに出る
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "It intend to make a trip, but..."
- りっぱ
  This one is wrong. りっぱ　is a na-nominal. りっぱなつもりですが (personal expectation/belief: S/he believes s/he is eminent, but..)
- 本だなばにしまった
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "I thought that I put it in the bookshelf, but..."
_____ 方がいいかもしれない。
- そのおかしより、もっとあまいの
  This one is wrong. The の in もっとあまいの is a "Nominal の" which means "one." Therefore another の (connective の) should be placed before 方. For example:
```
この本の方がおもしろい。  (only connective の necessary)
赤い車の方が高い。   (only connective の necessary)
赤いのの方が高い。  (Nominal の and connective の necessary)
```
  It is often the case, however, that this Adj + の(Nominal) + の (connective) + 方 structure is formed simply as Adj + 方. In other words, both instances of の can be deleted. あまいのの方がいい becomes あまい方がいい. Note that you must either delete both の, or keep both の. Deleting just one does not work!
- いそいだ
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "It may be better if we hurry."
- もっと使いやすいの
  This one is wrong. The の in もっと使いやすいの is a Nominal の, "one." Thus, you need another の: "もっと使いやすいのの方がいいかもしれない。"
- たばこをすわなかった
  This one is wrong. A negative sentence before 方 must be imperfective. The correct sentence should be: "たばこをすわない方がいいかもしれない。" ("It may be better if you don't smoke.")
このつくえをはこぶの _____ 。
- をたのんだ
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "I asked to transport this desk."
  
  の in this sentence is the Nominalizer の.
- は、だれ？
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "About the person who transports this desk, who is it?"
  
  The の in this sentence is the anticipatory の.
- ですか
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "Is it that you transport this desk?"
  
  This の is the extended predicate.
- には、もっと大きな車がいるよ
  Right! The translation is:
  
  "For carrying this desk, a bigger car is needed."
  
  This の is the Nominalizer の.
- つもりです
  This one is wrong. It must be "このつくえをはこぶつもりです。" The sentence "このつくえをはこぶ" modifies つもり. Thus, の cannot intervene.
- 前にいすをならべよう
  This one is wrong. "このつくえをはこぶ" modifies 前. Thus, の must be deleted. The correct sentence would be "このつくえをはこぶ前にいすをならべよう。" ("Let's arrange the chairs before we transport this desk.")
  
  A reminder: a Verbal sentence which proceeds 前 must be imperfective, direct! In addition, do you remember how to say "Let's arrange the chairs AFTER we transport the desk?" -- "このつくえを ならべたあとで、いすをならべちょう。"
