1 goose: A "goose" is a large migratory bird, which has a shorter neck than a swan, and a larger beak than a duck and makes a "honking" noise. Roast goose makes a very nice Christmas dinner, and the French use the goose to make the luxury (and controversial) dish "foie gras". Note that Jean pronounces "goose" with a "z" sound, usually it is pronounced with a soft "c" sound.
2 geese: "Geese" is the plural noun for "goose": one goose, two geese. However, the plural for "mongoose" is "mongooses". A "mongoose" is a small cat-like carnivore. The Indian mongoose is used to fight and kill snakes. Even the mighty cobra has been defeated by this cute looking creature.

1 to obey the rules: This is the best choice here. To "abide by" the rules and regulations means to obey or adhere to those rules. Another example: "Catholics are expected to abide by the Ten Commandments".
1 to object to the rules: This is not correct. To "object to (capital punishment)" is to protest, refuse or express a contrary opinion to it. Example: "I object to the use of public money for political campaigning."
1 to know the rules (by heart)
2 She is shy: This is correct. "(She) wouldn't say boo to a goose" is an informal British expression meaning that someone is shy or timid. The American equivalent might be "she wouldn't say boo to a fly", though this is less common. In the dialogue, Brian is expressing that Luna is shy, and isn't the type of person who would insult Horatio.
2 She is smart: This is incorrect. The expression Brian uses is unrelated to someone's intelligence.
2 She is polite: This is incorrect. The expression Brian uses is unrelated to someone's politeness or tact.
3 great anger: This is correct. "Rage" describes strong, intense anger, or even a state of craziness (He flew into a rage). In this dialogue, Horatio tells Brian that his tea has "fueled his rage", or that the tea that Brian has given him has made him even more angry.
3 a communicable disease in mammals: This is incorrect! Don't confuse "rage" with "rabies", a highly communicable disease common in rats, bats and dogs.
3 intense sadness: This is incorrect! "Rage" describes anger and discontent, and not sadness or melancholy.
