Answer : 3
The correct answer is the third option. The first one isogashikute is derived from isogashii which is a keiyoushi or -i type adjective. The answer is derived as follow :

Kanji : 忙しい => 忙しい ＋ くて
Hiragana : いそがしい => いそがしい ＋ くて
Romaji : isogashii => isogashii ＋ kute
To add another description which follow the first adjective, we have to change isogashii to isogashikute based on the changes in following pattern :
Adjective form :
Kanji : 忙しい => 忙しい ＋ くて
Hiragana : いそがしい => いそがしい ＋ くて
Romaji : isogashii => isogashi ＋ kute

Answer : 3
Although all of the answers depict the same number the differences left is in the Japanese counter word or counters which is called josuushi (助数詞). The first option, kai is used as counter to express the amount number of floor, but since it is involving san or the third, the exact pronunciation will be sangai as written in option three which is the right answer. The second option sanban is expressing the queue position or the turn position number.

8. 「そろそろ、＿＿＿＿＿＿」と いって せんせいの へやをでました。
１. しつれいしません。 ２．しつれいしまっす。３．しつれいしています。４．しつれいしました。
Romaji : Sorosoro, shitsurei shimashita to itte sensei no heya wo demashita.
Meaning : Leaving the teacher’s room I said pardon me but it is time (for me) to leave.
Answer : 4
The right answer is the fourth option. The first one is a negative and is a false answer. Since shitsurei means a rude thing to do, making it into a negative means that the speaker doesn’t feel rude or bad by leaving sensei’s room, so it is a wrong answer. The second option is also wrong shince there isn’t any grammar pattern related to しまっす (shimassu). The third option is also wrong since しています(shite imasu) is used for a continuous or a progressive action which is happening. The sentence above is retelling that the subject was pronouncing ‘shitsurei shimasu’when he walk out from sensei’s room, that is why it is written in past as is in the fourth option.
9. いもうとは きょねん＿＿＿＿＿。ことし、いっさいに なります。
Romaji : Imouto wa kyonen (umaremashita). Kotoshi, issai ni narimasu.
Meaning : My little sister was born last year. This year she become one year old.
１. うまれました ２．おきなました ３．はじまりました ４．つきました。
Answer : 1
Based on the latter sentence which is given in the problem. By giving an information that this year, the speaker’s little sister is one year old, it is natural that she was born last year. Kotoshi means this year and it is stated on the last sentence. And kyonen means last year which is stated on the previous one. So, the correct answer is in the first option which is umaremashita means was born.

Romaji : Kyou wa (tenki) ga warui kara, kasa wo motte ikimasu.
Meaning : Because today the weather is bad, (I) go by bringing an umbrella.
