1."broke"(d)
This is a subject question — 'who' is the subject (who performed the action). In subject questions, use normal word order: Who + verb. No auxiliary needed.
2."did"(b)
This is an object question — 'you' is the subject, 'what' is the object. Object questions need an auxiliary: What + did + subject + verb.
3."lives"(c)
Subject question — 'who' is the subject (the person living upstairs). Use normal verb form: Who lives... No auxiliary needed.
4."does"(a)
Object question — 'Sarah' is the subject, 'what' is the object. We need the auxiliary 'does' for third person singular present.
5."wrote"(b)
Subject question — 'who' is the subject (the writer). Use the past tense verb directly: Who wrote...? No auxiliary needed.
