10. When he arrived in Lorien, Frodo did not recognize Sindarin though he knew the language a bit. Why?

Because "Sindarin" in Lorien contained a lot of traces of Silvan, a language that was replaced by Sindarin.
Because the Noldor used another dialect than the standard Falathrim, the dialect Frodo knew.
Because the elves in Lorien were once fluent in Nandorin and had Sindarin only as a second language.
Because Sindarin was already heavily influenced by Westron in Lorien.
