    1. Part 2 ,Answer 10 - Does the word group "stand by you" would be so wrong instead of "stand up" .?

      E.g.1. No matter what happens between us , I will always stand by you.

      E.g.2. Stand up for your rights (Meaning fight for your rights, don't give up on your rights)

      Maybe 'stand by' could also be used.
