1 Coach: This is the best choice here. Sigourney Weevil writes that travelling by coach was "cheap as chips" and "only cost £12". However, she notes that the "journey took almost 12 hours", which is a long time to travel between Paris and London.
1 Plane: This isn't the right answer. Sigourney tells us that the cost of travelling by plane is "exorbitant", which means that it is "extremely expensive", so it is not true to say that it "doesn't cost much".
1 Train: This isn't the right answer. Train travel is described as "quite expensive", so Sigourney isn't telling us that it "doesn't cost much".
2 Plane: "Plane" is the right match for this definition. Sigourney tells us that the cost of travelling by plane is "exorbitant", which means that it is "extremely expensive". She also writes that she experienced "crushing environmental guilt" when she travelled by plane, because it is "not green": it is bad for the environment.
2 Train: "Train" isn't the best choice here. Sigourney does not mention that train travel is bad for the environment. In fact, it is one of the greener ways of travelling!
2 Coach: "Coach" isn't the best choice here. Sigourney Weevil writes that travelling by coach was "cheap as chips" and "only cost £12": it was therefore the cheapest option, not the most expensive.
3 Train: This is the right answer. The journalist describes train travel as "convenient", which means "practical" or "useful". She also tells us about the nice food and useful electricity outlets on trains. Sigourney also describes the train seats as "nice" and "big", meaning that they are comfortable.
3 Plane: This isn't the best choice here. Sigourney writes that there is "no legroom" on planes, and that there were "hours of waiting and shuttle buses" at the airports in Paris and London, which is not very "practical"!
3 Coach: This isn't the best choice here. Sigourney describes the comfort level on coaches as "non-existent", meaning that there is zero comfort: they are certainly not "the most comfortable" way of travelling!

This is an incorrect choice. If something is "convenient", it is suited to your purposes or needs. A "convenient seat" might be a seat that is next to the buffet, for example. We do not use the term "convenient" to describe a seat as being free or available.
This is a correct choice. Used with an "excuse me" at the beginning, this is a very nice way to check if a seat is available or not!
This is a correct choice. The king of "is this seat free?" phrases! It can be used in cinemas, trains, planes - anywhere with seats! Great!
This is an incorrect choice. This isn't really appropriate to use with strangers! It assumes that you already have permission to sit in the seat and just want authorization to be comfortable! This phrase is better used in a different context with guests or visitors. Example: Please make yourself comfortable (=relax and behave as if you were at your place).
