question
vocabulary verbs meaning transitivity
Do all the meanings of 掛ける and 掛かる tally?
There are a few of these uses that I'm not familiar with, but the uses I do
know all look ok to me (yes meaning both transitive/intransitive forms ok).
Sorry this is not a complete answer:

  1. Yes
  2. Yes
  3. Yes
  4. Yes - I've never heard it used with necklace, but definitely with megane.
  5. Yes
  6. not familiar with this usage
  7. Yes
  8. not familiar with this usage
  9. Yes
  10. Yes (9 & 10 could be considered the same - secure a seat belt, secure a lock)
  11. Yes
  12. Yes, but it 12b looks like a typo - I assume you meant テープが掛かる
  13. Yes
  14. Yes
  15. not familiar with this usage
  16. not familiar with this usage

* * *

I'm not a grammar expert, but it doesn't seem to me that the "depend on" usage
is an exception to the rule either. I don't think it would sound funny to say
"あなたに掛けている", we're counting on you (or we're betting on you?).
