Discussion
Have a go at this. Best way to do it is as quick as possible - you wouldn`t have a great deal of time to think if you came across it while driving.
For those of you who care, I got two wrong! (Having said that, I would argue about the correct answer on one of them)

And you a cop! 
By the way - our new L-driver (of 10 days) scored 28 - humps v uneven road
and hatch road marking rule... Both his parents scored 30 - but we actually did read the little yellow book we shelled out our hard earned cash for!
Replace it every new edition too .... Our new L driver is now reading this book....Wildy has told him she will not drive out with him unless he knows his road signs and passes her test on this!
28.
26 and 29 wrong.
Although the Correct answer is wrong IMO. Double white lines mean no overtaking unless the vehicle your overtaking is a cyclist or a road maintenance vehicle travelling at or less then 10mph. the correct answer of Do not cross or straddle os therefore wrong because in doing this you have to Cross AND Straddle
29 is bolloks too. it has split lines either side of the hatching. Split lines mean you may overtake. Hatchings are often used to provide a visual gap between 2 carriadgeways!

Double / continuous white lines do not mean no overtaking. Quite OK to overtake any vehicle providing you do not cross/straddle the line.
The specific wording is "Viewed in the direction of travel, if the line closest to you is continuous you must not cross or staddle the line (except to turn into or out of a side road or property or to avoid a stationary vehicle blocking your lane or to overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road works vehicle moving at not more than 10mph.)
As for the diagonal hatching the specific wording is "Where the line is broken, you should not enter the area unless it is safe to do so" Hence I think the question 29 wording was not helpful.

PS the full and proper wording is in TSGDR 2002 but I don't have time to fish those out. The above is from Know your Traffic Signs £3 HMSO, worthwhile read as Mad Moggie points out.

I stand corrected, and more knowledgable for it
