Bhagavad Gita examination for chapter one here are the correct answers :
1 What was in Dhrtarastras mind when he inquired from Sanjaya?
answer :Dhrtarasta was worried that the holy place of Kurusetra may somehow purified and his son and give up their enemity against the Pandavas and that the Kuruksetra war then would not take place 
2 What was Duryodhanas purpose in speaking to Dronacarya ?
answer: 
Duryodhana wanted to point out the defects of Droṇācārya. Droṇācārya had some political quarrel with King Drupada. As a result of this quarrel, Drupada performed a great sacrifice, by which he received the benediction of having a son who would be able to kill Droṇācārya.
Duryodhana also warned that such leniency in the fight would lead to defeat.

Do you know the name of King Drupadas son?Did you know that Dronacarya had personally trained Drupadas son in the art of warfare? Dhrishtadyumna 
3 Why was Duryodhana sura that Bhisma and Dronacarya were going to give him full support?
answer:
"He was confident of the full support of Bhīṣmadeva and Droṇācārya in the battle because he well knew that they did not even speak a word when Arjuna’s wife Draupadī, in her helpless condition, had appealed to them for justice while she was being forced to appear naked in the presence of all the great generals in the assembly. Although he knew that the two generals had some sort of affection for the Pāṇḍavas, he hoped that these generals would now completely give it up, as they had done during the gambling performances"
4 Describe the blowing of the conschells by the soldiers on both sides of the battle 
answer: 
Bhīṣma blew his conchshell very loudly, making a sound like the roar of a lion, giving Duryodhana joy. After that, the conchshells, drums, bugles, trumpets and horns were all suddenly sounded, and the combined sound was tumultuous. In contrast with the conchshell blown by Bhīṣmadeva, the conchshells in the hands of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna are described as transcendental. The sounding of the transcendental conchshells indicated that there was no hope of victory for the other side because Kṛṣṇa was on the side of the Pāṇḍavas

5 What were the signs pointing to Arjunas victory?
answer: 
Victory is always with persons like the sons of Pāṇḍu because Lord Kṛṣṇa is associated with them. And whenever and wherever the Lord is present, the goddess of fortune is also there because the goddess of fortune never lives alone without her husband. Therefore, victory and fortune were awaiting Arjuna, as indicated by the transcendental sound produced by the conchshell of Viṣṇu, or Lord Kṛṣṇa. Besides that, the chariot on which both the friends were seated had been donated by Agni (the fire-god) to Arjuna, and this indicated that this chariot was capable of conquering all sides, wherever it was drawn over the three worlds.

The emblem of Hanumān on the flag of Arjuna is another sign of victory because Hanumān cooperated with Lord Rāma in the battle between Rāma and Rāvaṇa, and Lord Rāma emerged victorious. 
6 Why does Arjuna call Krsna, Acyuta?
answer:
He never fails in His affection for His devotees, and thus He is addressed herein as infallible .Acyuta

some things I will share from our acaryas ,Srila Baladeva Vidhyabhusana: Arjuna is now speaking beginning with the words: senayor ubhayor. By saying O Acyutameaning infallible, Arjuna addresses Lord Krishna as the one who is never contrary to His inherent qualities of affection for His devotees and His Supreme Majesty and so he states thus being guided by those very qualities place my chariot as I have instructed.

7 Why does Arjuna call Krsna, Govinda?
answer:
Because Govinda satisfies the desires of everyone. He calls Krishna Govinda because addressing him so he is letting Krsna know that he is surrendering to him because he knows what will satisfy Arunas senses.

Please read it carefully http://asitis.com/1/32-35.html ,Arjuna is addressing Krsna as Govinda because he wanted Krsna to please his sense so he would not have to fight

8 why does Arjuna call Krsna ,Madhava ?
answer:
Arjuna address Krishna as "Madhava" (meaning "Lord of fortune )
Madhava- (One who is associated with Sri mahalakshmi) asking indirectly to give him fortune in the upcoming battle.

: Arjuna's addressing of Kṛṣṇa as "Mādhava," or the husband of the goddess of fortune, is also significant in this connection. He wanted to point out to Kṛṣṇa that, as husband of the goddess of fortune, He should not have to induce Arjuna to take up a matter which would ultimately bring about misfortune. Kṛṣṇa, however, never brings misfortune to anyone, to say nothing of His devotees.

Kesava Kasmiri of the Nimbarka sampradaya ,Kurmara vaisnava sampradaya writes: By addressing Lord Krishna with the vocative Madhava meaning the husband of the goddess of fortune indicates that as the husband He is the progenitor of the family not the destroyer of the family and that Arjuna should also not act contrarily to this.
in the words of Srila Baladev vidhyabhusana:By Arjuna addressing Lord Krishna as Madhava the controller of all wealth and opulence, Arjuna's intention is to ask why the Lord of Sri the goddess of fortune would encourage him to fight a battle that will be full of gore and death, devoid of all wealth and opulence.

12 What is the best way to fullfill ones obligations to ones forefathers?
answer: By becoming a Vaishnava since Krsna promises to deliver 10 generations before and after of a devotees who becomes a vaishnava . Also by becoming a Vaishnava one pays oned debt to society to our family and to Krsna at the same time.

sarvātmanā yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ
gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam
"Anyone who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, the giver of liberation, giving up all kinds of obligation, and has taken to the path in all seriousness, owes neither duties nor obligations to the demigods, sages, general living entities, family members, humankind or forefathers."

answer: Arjunas compassion was not selfish but based on considering the codes of religion ,dharma. Dharma also prohibits killing if it can be avoided.
Sri Arjuna is a Mahajana and the embodiment of friendship with Lord Krsna 
.Arjuna was considering all the pros and cons , as we will read in chapter 2 of Bhagavad Gita ,we will see Arjuna was being corrected by Krsna to understand that He the Supreme Lord had a higher purpose for killing the Kauravas .
15 What happens when the elderly members of a family are killed?
answer:
Laxmi kanta das answered: Since they are the example given to younger generations they fall to irreligion for lack of guidance and things like unwanted children happen
this is my answer:
Also the elder members in Vedic culture shower gifts of kindness and love 
on their youngers and guide them in civilized life and in Krsna consciouness
In case of the Kuru they where elders but their guidance where wrong and thus Krsna had them killed in Kuruksetra as they where acting as demons against religion .
answer: 
16 what are the six kinds of agressors who are fit to be killed?
answer: 
According to Vedic injunctions there are six kinds of aggressors: (1) a poison giver, (2) one who sets fire to the house, (3) one who attacks with deadly weapons, (4) one who plunders riches, (5) one who occupies another’s land, and (6) one who kidnaps a wife. Such aggressors are at once to be killed, and no sin is incurred by killing such aggressors 
However Srila Prabhupada did not encourage devotees or anyone to take civil law into their own hands
