Explanation:

• Q9: Parallel verbs require consistent form. "walking", "running", "writing" are gerunds (-ing form), while "swarm" is a base verb.
• Q10: "its" (possessive pronoun) modifies "effect" (noun meaning result). "it’s" = "it is", "affect" is usually a verb.
• Q11: Correct punctuation uses commas to separate a prepositional phrase ("from a distance") and a simile ("like a waterfall") without misplaced capitalization or sentence fragments.

Answer:

Q9: swarm
Q10: its effect
Q11: The poster was meant to appear, from a distance, like a waterfall.
