Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
Property 1 is situated in a green 1 area.
Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue all over 2.
Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
1 green: Property one is described as being "leafy". The term "leafy" refers to an area that is filled with lots of trees, plants, leaves and greenery. A "green area" describes the same type of area, one with bushes, trees, grass etc. In this context "green" and "leafy" are synonymous.
1 run-down: The term "run-down" means to be in poor condition, or deteriorated. This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 spacious: The word "spacious" indicates having a lot of "room" or "space". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 safe: The term "safe" means "unthreatening" or "not dangerous". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
2 all over: Jacob Flatman writes that Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue "throughout". The term "throughout" means "all over" or everywhere.
2 outside : The term "outside" means on or to the external or outer side. This is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 underneath: The term "underneath" means on the underside, lower face or below. This term is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 in certain parts : The phrase "in certain parts" refers to selected areas or portions, whereas the term "throughout" refers to "all" or the entirety of a surface (in this case).
3 a lot of: Flatman writes that the third property has "plenty" of storage space. The term "plenty" refers to an "abundance" or "large amount" of something. The term is synonymous with "a lot".
3 shared: The term "plenty" doesn't refer to a "shared" storage space, which would indicate a storage space used by two or more people.
3 hardly any: The phrase "hardly any" means "not very much", which is not synonymous with "plenty".
3 limited: An apartment with "limited storage space" has little storage space. This isn't what is meant by "plenty" of storage space.

1 quite: This is correct. "Rather" is synonymous with "quite", "somewhat", or "a little" in this context. For example: "It was rather dark in the office after we turned off the lights".
1 hardly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "hardly". "Hardly" means the same thing as "barely", "only just", or "not very much". For example: "You've hardly eaten anything! Are you sick?"
1 instantly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "instantly". "Instantly" means "immediately" or "right away".
2 considered leaving: This is the correct answer. "To contemplate" and "to consider" are synonymous in this context. Both terms mean to "think about" or "reflect" on/about something. For example "My brother is contemplating moving to France for his job".
2 decided to leave: This is incorrect. "To decide to do something" is to "make a decision" that you will do it. This expresses certainty, whereas when you "consider doing something", you are not sure if you will do it.
2 wanted to leave: This is incorrect. "To want to" is not synonymous with "to contemplate". If somebody is contemplating doing something, they don't know whether they want to do it or not yet.
3 stay: This is the right choice. "To remain" and "to stay" are synonymous in this context. For example: "I know I slept with your wife, but I hope we can remain friends."
3 be discussed: This is not the correct choice. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to discuss". If a topic is "discussed", then it is "talked" or "spoken" about. For example: "Brian's schedule needs to be discussed in the morning meeting!".
3 be understood: This is not the right answer. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to understand"."To be understood" is "to be comprehended". For example: "The rules of the office need to be understood by all employees".
