ANSWERS 1: THAT SHE BOUGHT IN PARIS
That is used after a noun as a relative pronoun like who, whom, or which to introduce a clause. In non-defining relative clauses, who/which may not be replaced with that.
More Examples:
~~Chris, that I met last year, is very nice~~. X
Chris, who I met last year, is very nice. V

ANSWERS 2: NONE OF WHOM ARE | NONE OF WHOM IS
A quantity phrase with whom is placed at the front of the modifying clause and then the clause is placed directly after the noun it modifies: none of whom, all of whom, neither of whom etc.
More Examples:
~~I've got a lot of friends, none of who smoke cigarettes~~. X
I've got a lot of friends, none of whom smoke/smokes cigarettes.V

ANSWERS 3: WHICH THEY'VE HAD | WHICH THEY HAVE HAD
Which is often used, after a comma in writing, to add more information about the thing, situation, or event you have just mentioned.
More Examples:
~~One of the girls kept laughing, that annoyed Liz intensely.~~ X
One of the girls kept laughing, which annoyed Liz intensely. V

ANSWERS 4: WHERE YOU CAN BUY | IN WHICH YOU CAN BUY
Where is often used as a relative pronoun. Where means in or to which place. In formal English, a phrase with preposition + which (at which, in which) can often be used instead.
More Examples:
~~She wanted to get to Dublin, where her sister lived there~~. X
She wanted to get to Dublin, where her sister lived. V

ANSWERS 5: FROM WHOM WE BORROWED
Preposition + whom. In formal or written English, the preposition is often placed before the relative pronoun, and in this case the pronoun cannot be omitted. Notice that after a preposition you can't use who instead of whom.
More Examples:
~~Alice, to who I talked just now, sends you her regards~~. X
Alice, to whom I talked just now, sends you her regards.V formal
Alice, who I talked to just now, sends you her regards.V less formal

ANSWERS 6: WHOSE DAUGHTER HAD BEEN KILLED
Whose is a possessive pronoun like his, her and our. We use whose to find out which person something belongs to.
More Examples:
~~The man who car was stolen was very sad~~. X
The man whose car was stolen was very sad. V

ANSWERS 7: WHO VISITS THE MUSEUM IS | THAT VISITS THE MUSEUM IS
Who is a relative pronoun used after a noun or pronoun to show which group of people you are talking about. Use who when a sentence requires a subject pronoun (equivalent to he or she). In defining clauses, you can use that instead of who, whom or which.
More Examples:
~~Do you know the people which live next door~~? X
Do you know the people who live next door? V

ANSWERS 8: WHOSE COVER IS
Whose is a possessive pronoun like his, her and our. We use whose to find out which person something belongs to.
Do not confuse whose with who's. We can also use whose when we are talking about things.
More Examples:
~~The man who car was stolen was very sad~~. X
The man whose car was stolen was very sad. V
