    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I hardly know my sister because she's so much older than me."

    • I did not see James for ages. 

    Correct Answer
    A. I haven't seen James for ages. 
    Explanation

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I can't sing nearly as well as Julia." This answer correctly compares the singing abilities of the speaker and Julia, stating that the speaker's singing ability is not as good as Julia's. The word "well" is used correctly to describe the level of singing ability.

    • I don't forget to lock the door. 

    Correct Answer
    A. I don't remember locking the door. 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I don't remember locking the door." This answer correctly reflects the speaker's uncertainty about whether they locked the door or not. The other options do not convey the same meaning. "I don't remember to lock the door" suggests that the speaker forgets to lock the door as a regular habit. "I don't forget to lock the door" implies that the speaker always remembers to lock the door.

This sentence correctly uses the preposition "despite" followed by the gerund form "having" to show that despite his beautiful voice, he still dislikes performing. The other options either have incorrect grammar ("despite he has a beautiful voice") or use the wrong verb form ("despite his a beautiful voice").
