Answer 2

Rocks - they
8 oz collective - it. Treated as a single quantity.
blood or pints - it or they. Depends on intent - if speaker/writer is addressing the number requested, it's "they". If speaker/writer is addressing the blood, the number is incidental and it's "it."
Flour - it. The antecedent of "it" is the unspecified thing to which the flour is added.
Potpourri - its. Spelling error.
2 or 3 dollars - it. Speech and usage would consider the 2 or 3 dollars as a collective, taking a singular pronoun.
Oil - it
65% - they. Puncuation error - should use ;
cartons - they
rain - it.

Parang malapit yung translation ni "best Contributor", pero we are able to attempt fill in the blanks like: Gloria Arroyo is the __th president of the Philippines, Or attempt: * what quantity is Gloria Arroyo's place in the Philippine presidency? * What count quantity is Gloria Arroyo's place in the form of the Philippine presidents? Aw, shucks...
