<Answers>
1. 에서 [In which school do you study?]
---- "To study" is an action.
2. 에 or 에서 [Where do you live?]
---- "To live" can be understood either as action or as state. This is an unusual case
due to the two different, but subtle, modes of "living." Combined with 에서, it sounds to
be asking the place where the action of living--eat, sleep, go to work, pay bills, etc.--
takes place, whereas with 에, simply asking the place of residence.
3. 에 [My girl friend is at the library.]
---- "Being" is a state.
4. 에 [I am going to the library now.]
---- "To go" is directional.
5. 에서 [A friend is coming from Japan.]
---- 에서 gives the origin of "coming".
6. 에서 [I am watching a movie at a theater tomorrow.]
---- "Watching a movie", though it may not be very 'active', is an action.
7. 에 [Where is the theater?]
---- Again, "being" is a state.
8. 에서 [My older brother is reading a book in the room.]
---- "Reading" is an action.
9. 에 [The teacher is not in the classroom.]
---- "계시다", same as "있다", is a state.
10. 에 [The book is not in this room.]
---- "없다(not existing)" is also a state.

---- "To sleep" may not be an active thing to do, but counts as an action.
