1."the"(b)
'The whole book' — with 'whole', we put the determiner (the/a/my) BEFORE 'whole'. 'An' cannot be used before 'whole' (wrong article). Compare: 'all the book' (less common) vs 'the whole book' (natural).
2."ten"(a)
'Every ten minutes' — 'every' + number + plural noun expresses regular intervals. No article is needed before the number.
3."other"(b)
'Every other day' means every second day — one day yes, one day no. It's a fixed expression. 'Every two days' (plural) is also correct but the stem has 'day' (singular).
4."Everyone"(c)
'Everyone' is a pronoun that can be the subject of a sentence. 'Every' is a determiner and always needs a noun after it. 'Each' can sometimes be a pronoun, but it needs a previously mentioned group to refer to — here, there is none. 'All' alone doesn't work (you'd need 'All people know...').
5."each"(a)
'Each' can be used as an adverb at the end of a sentence to mean 'per item'. '£15 each' = £15 per ticket.
