thanks for your answer, but i still have questions.
1, regarding no.21, how come the Olympic Games can do something by itself. if we meet the Olympic Games next time, it refers to people or a thing? Or does it always refer to people?

2, regarding no.16, from my understanding, the dating reveals that the  monuments are as old as any of their supposed predecessors. the exact 2000 years just modify the monument, giving it an exact date.

3, regarding 20, could you please rewrite choice C, using your correct structure?

thanks a lot.
