On this page, you can find the solutions to the excercises on Quantifiers.
Restricted Quantifiers 1a
Sorry, this is not correct.
In restricted quantifier notation, the complete noun phrase of the sentence is presented in square brackets.
Types Quantifiers 2d
[Every x: SCULPTURE(x) & MAKE (r, x)] SIGN (r, x)

Maybe you want to check the possible answers once more.

Scopal Ambiguity 3b
- For every person there is at least one person who loves him / her:
∀x (PERSON (x) -> ∃y (PERSON (y) & LOVE (x, y))
- There is one person that is loved by everyone:
∃x (PERSON (x) -> ∀y (PERSON (y) & LOVE (y, x))
