I choose "b"

2. Do you like apple?

I choose "b"

3. I borrow the book from my firend. So it's ______________
a. of my friend b. my friends' c. belong to my friend d. belonging to my friend

I choose "b" but "d" is confusing...

As to 1 & 2, your answers are correct.

As to 3, I choose (a.). Others have some minor grammatical errors.
b.) my friends' ---> my friend's
c.) is belong to ---> belongs to
d.) is belonging to : As 'belong' is a stative verb, sounds queer.

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

Yes, I'd agree with Paco, KK. I myself wouldn't choose any of them.

If b) is really my friend's, however, that's the natural choice.
