- I only knew her by look.

- The boss was not so severe as he might have been.

Please comment.
“I furnish below my answers” is completely unnatural. Better to say "My answers are below"or “I provide my answers below.”
‘knew her by sight’ is the correct idiom. 1 is incorrect.
6 is incorrect ‘something of a surprise’.
You got (3) right.
Beeesneees,
What about #5?
Is it not correct?
It’s correct
Beeesneees,
You have answered as below:
‘“I furnish below my answers” is completely unnatural.’
- “Can he furnish the information to us?”
Is this sentence wrong?
It’s unnatural. ‘Can he furnish us with the information?’ is better, but still uncommon.
Beeesneees,
- Can he provide us with the information.
- Can he provide the information to us.
Which one is correct?
Can he provide us with the information?
Can he provide the information for us?
