A: It is a prepositional phrase which modifies the verb “had been overtaken”.
This is a very complex sentence. It could be simplified:
The British dye industry was overtaken in an example of brain drain.

A: You must know/realize that I am trying to make up, to balance out, for the time that I have lost.
Make up is hard to explain in this case, it kind of means to balance out, to cancel out.
For example:
To make up for the fact that I forgot to do the homework, the next day I brought Ms. April an apple and an apology letter.
Lost time means that I wasted my time, or I didn’t spend it wisely, and now I’m late or am running out of time to do something, so I’m going to do it more efficiently so that it evens out in the end.
For example:
To make up for the lost time that she had from arriving late to class, Sandra decided not to draw the detailed background that she had planned, and instead opted to/decided on drawing a small portrait.

A: it's better to complete your homework ahead of time.

A: The best employees are those who manage their time well.

Please try to manage your time well.

They do not manage their time well.

A: I'm not planning to retire anytime soon.
They won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
She probably won't get a raise anytime soon.
You shouldn't expect that to happen anytime soon.
-- Those are all with verbs or phrases. The adjective "likely" also fits: "That's not likely (to happen) anytime soon."

A: You can say
"Time flies when you're having fun!" Or
"It's crazy how fast time flies by."

A: The most common use of this expression I can recall comes from the title track from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack.

(I've Had) The Time Of My Life lyrics:

Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you

Girl: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you

------

have the time of one's life:
to have a very good time; to have the most exciting time in one's life.

"What a great party! I had the time of my life."

"We went to Florida last winter and had the time of our lives."

have the time of your life:

to enjoy yourself very much.

"I gave my mother a trip to London, and she had the time of her life."

to enjoy yourself very much:

"He had the time of his life working on the ranch."

A: I’d probably say “sorry for taking so long” or “sorry for taking so much of your time” (more lengthy / formal)

A: time line can be both "history" or "schedule plan" depending on context.

timetable is the physical schedule that others can see. While it sounds similar to a "timeline" with the proper context, a "timeline" refers to only the mental idea.

A calendar is just the table showing the days, weeks, months, and years. You can write your plans onto a calendar to make a timetable.

A: They have the same meaning

A: "By the time that DAY comes, we will all be dead". DAY sounds better, but DATE makes sense. This is a common enough thing to say.

"For when that date arrives, we will all be dead" sounds much, much more formal, much less used, and just a bit weird. But you could say "I am saving my money for when that date arrives".

In these phrases, and in many cases, come/arrive are interchangeable, with arrive being quite a bit more formal. It's FOR and BY that are trickier.

A: The two phrasal verbs 'get up' and 'wake up' are similar, but different. When your alarm rings in the morning you 'wake up' as you are no longer sleeping. 'Get up' means that you get out of bed

A:
During the presentations, Mr./Ms. (_____) gave each student specific advice. What really impressed me was when I said “One more time”, and he/she repeated the question for me slowly and in a way that was easy to understand. Mr./Ms. (_____) is very kind, and treats everyone very well. Because of this, we are all able to enjoy their class. Without Mr./Ms. (_____), it would be very lonely, but I will do my best to use the things he/she taught me. Mr./Ms. (_____), please do your best wherever you go!
Sincerely, xx

Mr./Msは、男か女の場合に使います。男だったらMr.を使います。逆に女だったら、Ms.を使います。でも本人にあげたら、Mr./Ms.の代わりにyouを使います。この話はたぶんあなたの先生を感動されますよね！

A: Thank you for teaching my teacher English for 2 years. In the time of the presentation, he advised each and every one of us precisely. I am particularly impressed when I said "one more time." At that time, the teacher rephrased the question slowly to make it easy to understand. The teacher was very kind and tried to make everyone better, so we were able to enjoy teacher 's lessons. I am very sad when my teacher ceases to exist, but I will do my utmost to make use of what I have taught from my teacher. Please also do your best in a different country

A: Until what time will you be there/ at the office? (More formal sounding/ demanding)

Or

What time are you going to be there/ at the office until? (Softer sounding)

Bonus:

So, what time until you leave? (Very colloquial)

It is important to note that the word ‘until’ must come either at the start or the end of the original sentence you posted for it to be grammatically correct. I tweaked the rest of it simply to make it sound more native and natural.

A: "Firstly, I think that the time they *spend* to communicate with family decreases if they have it." would be more natural.

A: Even though we live in different countries I feel we might meet again soon!

A: 3. This was "the" only one that showed up online when I researched the train schedule earlier.

4. The waitress said that they will be stopping to serve meals and lunch menu from 3pm

This is a bit confusing , will they be serving from the lunch menu? or the lunch menu stops at 3pm

overall good Job

A: × To be honest, I don't take a long time to view other people's posting, so if the posting's character's are a lot, I wouldn't read them seriously.
✓ To be honest, I don't spend a lot of time viewing other people's posts, so if the posts had a lot of characters, I wouldn't bother to fully read them

A: × Until what time will you open?
✓ How long will you be open?

As a verb, "to open" is to become open, or cause something else to become open (adjective), so you can't "open until" a time, but you can "be open until" a time. A store or other business opens when it starts letting people in, and then it is open until it closes. You could also ask this question as "What time do you close?"

A: “But I hate wasting time so much” would be pronounced like this:

A: × i had a great time for this 2 days
✓ i had a great time these 2 days
