Jihyun and Sharon,
Thanks for publishing your answers for other students to read.
The answers you have written are correct- and the ones you haven't written will be correct, I think. I would especially like to know your opinion. Is Yuja more successful than Andrei, the man from Russia? Maybe they are both successful, in different ways.
