The sentence would read: "The man advised his children not to give in to the temptations of the city." "Give in" is a phrasal verb that means to yield or surrender to something.

The sentence would read: "Ebiere turned down all the advances made by the men." "Turned down" is a phrasal verb that means to reject or refuse something.

The sentence would read: "Ada is much too intelligent to do that kind of thing." In this case, much too + [adjective] is the correct phrasing to express that Ada's intelligence is far beyond what would be required for such a task.

The sentence would read: "Udoh and I were sent to the library by the English teacher." In English, when you are the subject of the sentence, "I" is used rather than "me" or "myself." Additionally, "I" should come after the other person's name (in this case, Udoh), as this is the correct order in formal writing.

The sentence would read: "The teachers were discussing politics when I entered the staff room." The correct form is "discussing" without "about" or "on," as "discuss" already means to talk about something. Also, the past continuous tense (were discussing) is used to show that the action of discussing politics was happening when a past action occurred (the action of entering into the staff room).

The sentence would read: "The quarrel between the two men soon resulted in a fight." The phrase "resulted in" is the correct prepositional phrase to express that the quarrel led to or caused a fight.

The sentence would read: "The hunter, with his dogs, was seen going into the forest." Here, "was seen" is correct because the subject of the sentence is "The hunter," which is singular. The phrase "with his dogs" does not change the singular nature of the subject.
