1a) "you were to check" - The person speaking is saying that they told you previously to check (examine) all the slave boys. A more common way of saying this is "you were supposed to check" 1b) "you were to do" - Similar to 1a. The person speaking is saying that they told you to do (perform) a task. Another common way of saying this phrase: "you were supposed to do" 2) if "we're to secure" - Another way of saying "if we are going to secure." Meaning to safely obtain in this context. The way the text reads is not incorrect, but there are more common ways of phrasing these sentences in conversation.

It is a phrase used as another way of conveying "you're welcome." It implies what you did for the person was not a hard task or that there is no need to thank you for doing that task. Example: Bob: "Thank you so much!" Marie: "Don't mention it!"

The use in that sentence is a little awkward, but it works - I can understand the meaning. In that sentence, "past bearing" would be an adverb (pretty sure), as bearing is a form of the verb "to bear." It's a different way of something is unbearable. More commonly, it would be said like this: "Collage was bad enough, but now it's unbearable." "College was bad enough, but now it's beyond unbearable." (in this sentence, beyond unbearable means that it is significantly worse than a level that would still be considered unbearable)

Many Americans like to visit France. Most Americans probably think of Paris when they think of traveling to France. Some (likely misguided) stereotypes that Americans have of the French: -There are several American jokes about the French being cowards in time of war. One joke I remember hearing in high school goes like this: "Did you hear the French invented a new tank? Its so fast! It has one gear forward and five gears for reverse." -Another is that some Americans think of the French as being pretentious and condescending. Like I said, these are probably misguided. I do not know anyone from France well enough to support or refute these stereotypes.

Those are all correct technically. However, there are limited instances where you might be able to use "Which one does cost the most?"
