The colors of the rocks that I have seen are white, black, and gray.
>> CORRECT


1. What is the difference between ‘keep’ and ‘keep up’?
If you mean just for simple comparison, like in this sentences:
She keeps hiding my charger. = ( usually followed by a verb)
She needs to keep up with the latest technology. = (usually followed by \'with\' + object)

>> The word \'keep\' has so many meanings depending on the sentence.
examples:
Keep the change. =  (to hold in your possession)
Keep yourself warm. = ( to continue in the same situation for a long time)
I keep my keys in the drawer. = (put/store things somewhere)
Now, if we add a preposition after \'keep\', the meaning totally changes. They are called phrasal verbs.
examples:
Keep up the good work. = ( continue doing well)
I can\'t keep up with my brother\'s running speed. = ( maintain a rate or pace with someone)
We need to keep up with the latest technology. = ( be updated with the changes)


2. Do I have to add an ‘s’ after ‘[이름]ute’ when it\'s ‘number + [이름]ute’?
-> ex) 30 [이름]utes, 1 [이름]utes, 10 [이름]utes, 25 [이름]utes
example:
I finished a 25-[이름]ute class. ( notice that there is an object after [이름]ute, so it is used as an adjective)
I studied for 25 [이름]utes. ( talks about the length/how long someone studied)
