This is correct. Originally Moira calls koalas "bears", but Stephanie corrects her by saying "they're actually part of the marsupial family, animals native to Australia." Koalas cannot be classed as bears because they are marsupials: mammals whose young are typically carried in a pouch on the mother's stomach, like a kangaroo or a wallaby.
This is correct. Stephanie says "The koala spends nearly 19 hours a day sleeping. Of the five hours it spends awake, it spends three of those eating eucalyptus leaves." This means that when they aren't sleeping, koalas spend the majority of their time eating leaves from the eucalyptus tree (a tree native to Australia).
Don't be silly! There is nothing in this broadcast which indicates that a koala has "bitten" Stephanie Irving. Stephanie does shout at one point when the koala falls off the tree, however this is out of concern and not out of pain. Koalas are very peaceful and docile animals, and it is very rare for them to attack humans. "Bitten" is the irregular past participle of the verb "to bite", which means to use the teeth to cut into something.
This is a false statement. While it is true that a koala falls out of the tree during Stephanie's report, there is nothing in the report that suggests that this act is linked to the koala eating food. Koalas usually eat leaves off the eucalyptus tree, and they don't descend to the ground to eat.
This is a false statement. Moira says that Brent has similar sleeping habits to a koala. She then adds that Brent doesn't like vegetables, whereas the koala loves eating the leaves from the eucalyptus tree.

This means that Bob may take 1 another piece of cake, or at least conceal 2 it.
1 take: This is the best choice here. Bob tells Luna that he should "grab" another slice of cake. The verb "to grab" has several meanings. In this context, Bob is thinking about physically "taking" another slice of cake.
1 bake: This is incorrect. To "bake (another cake)" has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. "Baking" is a style of cooking using an oven.
1 look for: This is incorrect. To "look for (another piece of cake)" has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. "To look for (an object)" is to search for it or try to find it.
1 bite: This is incorrect. To "bite" another piece cake has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. To "bite (into a piece of cake)" is to put a piece of cake in the mouth and to begin to eat it.
2 conceal: This is the best choice. Bob tells Luna that he is thinking about "hiding" the cake so that no one else eats it.

2 destroy: Bob is not considering "destroying" the cake, but "hiding" it. To destroy (something) is to physically ruin or break it.
2 divide: Bob is not considering "dividing" the cake, but "hiding" it.
