The first one is ADMISSION. Check your dico for this.

No2 is MATING. Dogs making love?

No3 is WHEN (not 'than'). Other words in this category are 'hardly', 'scarcely'.

No4: 0'Clock is wrong here (You can only use 0'Clock with the 'EXACT' time). Eg. 7 0'Clock. Not half past 7 0'Clock.

Oya, answer!

ONLY the last one is CORRECT.

Check your dico for 'very' and its usage. And, don't use 'very' with VERBS.

Imagine that! I mean 'very' is an adverb as well oo. But it doesn't modify VERBS. Funny!

Which one(s)?

Is it correct to say "the reason why , " in a sentence? I am of the opinion that the word 'reason' & 'why' can serve the same meaning. Kindly expatiate.

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary SAYS it is CORRECT.

'The reason why' -  CORRECT.

It seems pleonastic, innit? But it's correct.

Check you dico, sir.
