This is correct. Luna says "I didn't want to leave the store empty-handed". "Empty-handed" means carrying nothing. The rental store didn't have the film that Luna was looking for, but she didn't want to leave without another film or movie.
This is incorrect. Luna wants the company to offer French courses for its employees. She does not say that she has started French courses at home.
This is incorrect. Luna says that she "picked a DVD at random from the Foreign Films section", this means that she did not choose a film because she read a good review in the paper. The phrase "at random" (or the adverb "randomly") describes an action performed without a definite order or method, or done "haphazardly", by chance. A "(film) review" is a critical appraisal or summary of a film often accompanied by a score or mark.
This is incorrect. Luna's idea is to have French courses at Delavigne Corp., she does not say that she would like a DVD rental service there.
