Answers. Eight or nine correct would be a good result. More would be excellent.
The answers you give should be logical: that is, those which would be normally used in the context of a newspaper report.
01. objects
02. means
03. continued
04. taken to
05. told/warned
06. being sent/commitment
07. ignored (alternatives such as "scorned" or "spurned" would rarely be used in this context; "rejected" is not quite right: "one rejects an offer" but "ignores a warning".)
08. together with/accompanied by
09. comply
10. left ("departed" is not quite right: the Queen departs, but her officials leave.)
11. quickly (the obvious answer, rather than "rapidly" or "speedily" or "hurriedly" or "hastily" and so on)
12. action (as in the phrases, "legal action" and "police action")
