Are these sentences correct?

2) The actors perfomed bravely on the stage last night.
3) The dangers of drinking and driving are widely known, although young people are not afraid to put their lives on the line everytime they go clubbing.
4) The students got a chance to be their own bosses for one day: just what they had always wanted to.
5) Trendy Brazilian high-school students . Is the order ok?
6) There are some adverbs that have two forms with different meanings. Which of the pairs below is NOT part of this group?
a) hard-hardly b) late-lately c) happy-happily

Thanks in advance.

1. You too or and you- is more natural. 4. ..............they had always wanted to do. 6. a and b are wrong. Bye mate. Darryn.

But in real life, people don �t speak like that. i agree with Darryn, you too or and you is more natural. |

I agree with you, but in the exercise I have to choose from a or b, which is kind of weird. |

Thanks a lot for your help.
In relation to the sentence The students got a chance to be their own bosses for one day: just what they had always...
I have 4 options:
a) wanted to
b) wanted to do
c) wanted to be
d) wanted to be bosses
So which do you think is the best answer?
Thanks again. |

If you must say it unnaturally- say to you too (a). I repeat - wanted to do (b). Number 6 I misread the question so apodo is right on that one sorry. happy- happily has only one meaning- so is not part of the group.

No one has pointed out that in 3, it should be "every time", not "everytime".
In 1, the others are correct that neither choice is correct, and I agree that "to you, too" (note the comma before "too") sounds a little less unnatural.
