“It” is a noun and “be” is a verb. The sentence that you have, as it appears now, is correct.

And another one: “It would be easier to answer to more specific questions.” I’m not sure if “it would be” belongs more to noun or verb.

I would go with friendlier, because “friendly” is an adjective and not an adverb. One person is friendlier than the other.

That would be correct, because you are describing HOW some people give up.

Hmmm, I’ve never really thought about the distinction between these two. Makes me wonder how many times I’ve used them wrong, although as tough as the distinction is to make I will probably not fret about it too much in the future :S
