    odds is comparative. What are the odds of lightning striking? Answer might be 1 in 1,000,000. circumstances is a set group (usually an unspecified amount) of items. The circumstances surrounding the choice of puppies was dependent on how many puppies were there at the time. In this case there is a limited set of circumstances that might include puppy color, size, age, but also includes the number of puppies to choose from.

    "Such as" and "Like" can mean the same or very similar thing if used as a comparison. Such as would always be a comparative statement, like would not. I want to show you a fruit that grows on a tree, such as an apple. I want to show you a fruit that grows on a tree, like an apple. However, they are not interchangeable. I like you as a friend. Can be a statement, but you would never say: I such as you as a friend.

    "You scrub up well" would be the statement, leave off the yourself. It means that you look good after you shower and shave and dress up. It's a compliment.

    Not really different in terms of general discussion. Both are correct, although the formal meaning of dinner would refer to the last meal of the day. We have breakfast (morning) lunch (midday) dinner (evening) (although some do refer to dinner as the midday meal). The word dine is generally a bit more formal, but totally correct.

    I came here long ago. Is the correct statement. The other mixes the tenses. Came - past tense come - present tense come here long ago - mixed past tense and present tense

    I agree with Peachy. Although you could reconstruct the entire segment with something like: in the corner of his eye appeared the things they had left behind he shouted... That might be useful if you have used the word look too many times in the preceding paragraphs.

    Both are correct. Take is to bring along Take in this instance is to bring with you. Bring is to take with you. In this example the words are interchangeable. Example: I will take my dog to the animal hospital. Example: I will take my car in for service. I am going (future) home later. This is what you would say to someone that is not at your home. I am coming (present) home now. This is what you would say to someone who is presently at your home. The word take can also be used as: I will take the coffee from you. OR I will bring you coffee to you. Take can mean bring, but it can also mean receive, transport, or tolerate. You can say: Ex. 1: I will take it from you. (Receive) Ex. 2: I will take it to you. (Transport) Ex. 3: I don't have to take that kind of talk from you. (tolerate / receive) In the above 3 examples you would never say bring instead of take in Ex. 1 or Ex. 3. However you could use bring in place of take in Ex. 2 with the same meaning. Great question, very confusing.
