The answer of question 5 is right.
In parashat Vaetchanan (Deuteronomy 5:12-15) it's not written that G'd rested on Shabat, but in verse 15 it's written to remember that you was slave in the land of Egypt" Reply

You have question #5 wrong. If you answer according to Parashas Va'Eschanan ch.5. v.14 then the answer is the first answer not the third. Reply

in response to Dirk:

The reference should have been to 5:15 where the Torah clearly states, "And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out from there with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, the Lord, your God, commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."

The answer would have been "G-d rested on the seventh day" if we were referencing the Ten Commandments in Exodus.

For why the change was made, please read Why Two Versions of the Ten Commandments by Rabbi Yehudah Shurpin Reply
