1 struggle: "Struggle" is the right answer. A "struggle" is a "fight", a "conflict", a "severe difficulty". It can be used as a verb too: "I struggle to keep in shape: I love eating and hate exercising".
2 pitch: This is the correct answer. A "pitch" in this context is a "demonstration", a "talk" or a "presentation", and a sales pitch describes the presentation or speech given to a potential buyer or customer by a salesman (or woman).
3 lock: "Lock" is correct here. "To lock (a door)" is to close with a key or secure it. For example: "If you're finding quitting smoking really difficult, try locking yourself in the cellar for two weeks. It worked for me!".
4 rush hour: This is the correct answer. "Rush hour" is the busiest period of the day on the roads or on the public transport system: usually between 8 and 9 in the morning and 5 and 7 in the evening. A further example: There's nothing worse than when it's raining during rush hour.
5 marching: This is the right answer. To "march" is to walk at a fast pace, like soldiers in the army. It's usually done in a group, in formation. For example: "The Emperor Penguins march over 100 km to lay their eggs". The term "to march" also refers to walking on a (political) demonstration.
