Which sedimentary rock type is likely to be formed in the most offshore environment?
Limestone.
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have been deposited in a very high-energy stream?
conglomerate
Water from an area has a limestone and chalk strata is most likely to be?
clodudy
Is Water from an area which has a limestone and chalk strata most likely to be acidic?
yes
In which type of rock would you mostly likely find fossil?
Sedimentary.

Limestone.
Shell imprints and bones can be found in what type of rock?
It's always in a sedimentary rock, but mostly they will be found in a limestone. Some limestones, like the 'shelly' limestone, will be more likely to contain shells than others, like the oolitic limestone (which is not made out of shells). Again, bones will tend to be found in sedimentary rocks, but the actual bones will tend to have dissolved and been replaced by rock minerals which precipitated out of solution to fill the 'mould' left by the bone (unless they were deposited recently, in which case you're more likely to find them in unconsolidated sediment like sand/mud).
Where would a major depositional basin be most likely to form?
a location where the crust has been downwarped by tectonic plate motion
Which rock is most likely to have grains cemented together?
Limestone
Which rock is most likely formed as a result of biologic process?
limestone
What type of minerals most likely make up limestone?
Calcite
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat from the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The metamorphosed limestone will most likely be a skarn or marble, both formed from contact with an intruding granitic magma.
