Q8. The earthquake occured shortly after we had arrived.

Well, the second person has already given you the correct answers, so I think I'll give you some explaination to the answers chosen.

Q7.
1. We rarely begin a sentence with (or), besides, it does not really fit into the meaning of that sentence.

2. We use furthermore only if it is preceded by two or more arguments.

Q8.

1. The tense in this sentence clearly shows the time sequence of two events, one happened after the another. Additionally, it doesn't make much sense to use 'because of' or 'or' in this sentence due to their meaning.
