Can you help me with these sentences? Are they ok?
In each sentence I wanted to use a specific word, I write these words between inverted commas,
- The soon development of the US "railway network" was one of the reasons of the US supremacy during the XX century.
- "Don't trust him", he's always telling lies
- Did you know that Mike's father is in jail? I didn't know it, but "that's what I thought".
- I don't know where John is, please could you "reach" him.
- The Valencia port has several number of "docks", the biggest ones are used by Containers Vessels.
- I'm "able" to play the piano at the same time I watch TV
- This company is "dedicated" to build skyscrapers.
- I'm pretty confident that the company will "tackle" this problem soon
- Yesterday I "went blank" in my English test I felt very frustrated because I had studied a lot.
Thanks in advance, :)

Your sentences are generally correct. My corrections are alternative words that you could use. I am not sure if this is what you had in mind when you asked for a specific word.
