Number 9 is silly. Every sentence is correct but each one means a different thing.

The last sentence isn't incorrect. It means that you were physically placed in the chair by someone else. It isn't wrong, just has a different meaning. Just as you would say about a child, 'I sat him down at the table'.

9/10. Didn't know what a f*cking 'gerund' was. Still don't. In fact, I refuse to even recognise it as a real word. F*CK YOU, BBC News Magazine!!!

I only got 3/10 and I'm not sure I even deserved that! And I'm in the middle of completing a masters degree!
