2. Generally an article is not used before abstracts nouns; hence no article is right answer.
9. Certain verbs take certain prepositions and the verb depend with on is quite common in use. Hence depend on is right answer.
29. The form of the verb in the reported sentence does not change if the reporting verb is in present continuous. This is applicable to this example as the reporting verb is in present continuous tense.
