A. bái sè de B. xiě wán le C. tài yáng hé yuè liàng
A. 白 色 的 B. 写 完 了 C. 太 阳 和 月 亮
A. white B. finished writing C. the sun and the moon
Let’s look at what the question is asking for: “something”. B is a verb so we can eliminate that, and while A is a thing, it’s not an appropriate answer to the question, so we can eliminate it as well and choose C.

A. hěn shòu B. hěn duō C. hěn kě ài
A. 很 瘦 B. 很 多 C. 很 可 爱
A. very thin B. many C. very cute
The key word here when figuring out what kind of answer to look for is “how many/how much”. Once you see that, you know that the answer to be related to an amount and can immediately eliminate A and C, leaving B as the answer.

A. 太 慢 B. 500 C. 没 问 题
A. too slow B. 500 C. no problem
This is a long question, but notice that most of the sentence doesn’t actually affect the main idea: the speaker is asking for help. Neither A nor B are appropriate responses to someone asking a question, and so we’re left with answer C.
