Read the Bill of Rights.
Then read the first item, and try to figure out whether one of them applies to that situation. (You'll probably have to skim them over again, then read the one that seems relevant, to check.)
Then read the next item and try to figure out whether one of the amendments applies to it.
That's the whole point of your having been assigned that activity. For you to think through the ideas, and learn how to apply them, or whether they apply, to particular situations.
If you were confused about one of them, and explained why you were confused, we would be happy to help.
But you want us to do your homework for you; and we won't.
Looking at 8 -- you're arrested for writing to a paper, saying something the local government did was wrong. So, do any of the items in the Bill of Rights speak to that sort of situation?
Lather, rinse, repeat.

The Bill of Rights is here, along with the rest of the constitution:

I will interject, however, that when a person joins the U.S. military, he waives his constitutional rights in favor of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, therefore your question #5 does not pertain to constitutional rights or privileges.
You can view the international portions of the UCMJ here:

Google UCMJ and check it out, or talk to your nearest military recruiter.

What you need to do is read the Bill of Rights and do your own homework. That's the point of homework - to teach you to apply the concepts discussed in class.

the average American can't identify which right is which anyway.
your 2 best solutions are
1. ask an immigrant whose striving for citizenship or
2. look it up for yourself and learn what someone is trying to teach you.

Really dude, it would have taken you less time to look this up than to type out your homework on-line.

You can find a copy of the bill of rights online.
