    In the USA: First sentence: "all at once", "all at the same time" Second sentence: I would use "one after the other," "one after another," or, "I can do 100 consecutive pull-ups without having to rest in between," "I can do 100 pull-ups in a row without having to rest in between." You are unlikely to hear "in one go" in the USA (is that more British?)

    I cannot think of another way an American speaker of English would say this in either formal or informal conversation. This is exactly what we say to express this idea.

    "You got me", "You fooled me", either of those would be correct. "I was fooled" would more likely be used if you were relating the event to someone else (not your friend) later.

    As an American living in a very rural area (the mountains of southwest Virginia), I probably hear it used more than Americans living in urban areas, but still not very often. You would more likely hear the sentence "Don't pay any attention to (him/her)."

    If you don't know if the article is out of date or not, then look at/check/see the dateline at the top right corner of the page. All 3 options would be right. "See" is more likely to be heard in a educational setting (a professor speaking to a class) than in casual conversation, in my experience (American speaker of English).

    I am going to check on my grandmother; she might have wanted to tell me something but HAVE FORGOTTEN TO DO SO.-Corrected I am going to check on my grandmother; she might have wanted to tell me something but forgot. - Not grammatically correct but is the form most likely to be used in casual conversation.

    Both fine. I personally am more likely to use the first one.

    Persona: How one presents oneself to others or how one is perceived to be by others. Eg: He has an outgoing public persona, but he is actually a quiet introvert. Personality: Intrinsic, it's the real you. He has a cheerful and outgoing personality; he's always like that, it's not just for show!

    Not interchangeable. Detective = police Private investigator = only normal people

    "Can you check Mr. A's profile to see if he's related to Mrs. B?" sounds more natural than what you had written. Outside of the context of an investigative setting, a profile is someone's personal information (name, address, date of birth, email address, phone, etc.), like when you sign up with a new website or get on a mailing list. A background check infers checking for any criminal history or legal problems, or maybe past names used. In the context of an investigative setting, as you have presented, "profile" is better to use than "background check"; a "profile" in an investigative situation would include the personal information as well as the criminal history of someone. A "background check" is something typically performed by a potential employer, landlord, etc. rather than by the police.
