They often go by foot.

All of them has the right preposition. 
They often travel by car.
I don't like to go on a train.
You can buy a ticket and go on a bus.
They often go by foot.
People go to work by car.
It is nice to go in a taxi.
I have never traveled in a plane. 
More people now go in their cars then by trams.
They prefer to go by bike rather than on foot.
Have you ever gone on a train?
You can generally work out which word can slot in by reading the sentence aloud and figuring out what sounds the best. 
You would never say I don't like to go by a train, because it sounds wrong due to the fact that there is an 'a' before the word 'train'. If there was no 'a' the correct answer might be 'I don't like to go by train.'

Which lines in this excerpt from act II of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet reveal that Mercutio thinks Romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love?

Answers

MERCUTIO: Why, is not this better now than groaning for love?

now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo; now art

thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature:

for this drivelling love is like a great natural,

that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole.

In this lines, Mercutio is attempting to say that Romeo shows his true self when he is joking with his friends and he wants to highlight that Romeo is better off than when he is groaning for love because when being in love, he acts like an idiot.

Supporting evidence should be presented ina. the introduction, right after the thesis statement.
b. the body, right after subtopic statements.
c. the conclusion, to give weight to closing arguments.
d. all sections of the essay, so that the thesis is supported throughout.

Answers

The correct answer is B. The body, right after subtopic statements.

It's not everywhere because you should not provide new supporting evidence in the conclusion. Conclusions should restate and paraphrase what was previously mentioned. The introduction is not it as well because there is usually nothing after the thesis statement as it has a tendency to be the final sentence in the introduction paragraph.
