2b seem OK, but I don't think a's convey the same meaning. I am also not sure about 1b. However, in order to prevent any confusion in meaning, I would say something like:
"I did not shout at him, for fear he'd be scared; I spoke softly." "I shouted at him not to scare him, but because he has difficulty in hearing"

How about short-notice?

"Power Bank" is the term as far as I know :-)

Here "basic information neeeded" is short for "basic information that is needed"; and is a noun-clause. You can check this link for more information:

It must have been horrible. My condolences and deepest sympathies to the families touched by these horrendous events. Unfortunately, we are used to such terrible events around here.
I hope the investigation can identify the root cause of the incident and necessary measures are taken with haste.

I think just "petite" instead of "petite in size" would be sufficient.

Since poems do not conform to grammatical rules, it is not easy to talk about grammer in a poem.
However, since it is something else (i.e. not the field) that is lost, we need the "be" there. You can consider the sentence to mean something like: "What is lost in the field?", though not exactly.

Hi,
The sentence is actually about a book being published in the US. The fact that the author of teh book is Russian is non-essential or supplementary. Therefore, you put that part in between the commas. The sentence does not lose meaning even if you remove the part between the commas; that part is therefore non-essential.

In the absence of a style guide, I usually use commas where you usually pause for a while when spreaking or reasing the sentence. Since I would make a short pause before "they" in the original version, I would use a comma there. However, I like teh version suggested by Drag0nspeaker (with the colon) better.
