I have no idea where the English teachers are. The truck driver finds three possible answers for #19. The other questions look alright.
 
Thanks for your help, Mike. I appreciate it.

I modified #19. How about this?
p) We can ( 19 ) see anything because the fog is too thick.
19 ①ever ②hard ③hardly ④little

The intended answer is "hardly".
