1 roommates: "Roommates" is the right answer. In American English, "roommates" are people with whom you share an apartment or house. In the UK, it is more common to say "flatmates" or "housemates". Another example: "I'm cooking dinner for my roommate tonight".
2 storage: "Storage" is the best choice here. The "storage (space)" in a room is its cupboards, wardrobes, drawers, shelves, etc. These are the places we keep our possessions. Example: "This kitchen is nice, but it doesn't have enough storage for all my pots and pans".
3 afford: The right answer here is "afford". To "(be able to) afford something" is to have enough money to pay for it. Examples: "I want to buy a Bercedes Menz, but I can't afford to", "How can you afford to raise 18 children?!". In his ad, Edward tells us how much rent he can "afford" to pay.
4 rent: "Rent" is the best choice here. "To rent (a house)" is to pay money to the owner or proprietor so that you can live there. Example: "I'm renting a flat at the moment, but I'd like to buy my own house soon". Note that there is a related noun: "rent", which is the money you pay on a monthly basis to live in this home.
5 flat: "Flat" is the right answer. The term "a flat" is chiefly British, and, as an noun, means "an apartment". Example: "Would you like to come to my flat for dinner tomorrow?". As an adjective, let's not forget that "flat" means "not round". Example: "Columbus discovered that the Earth is not flat."
