This is a false statement. Brent tells us that after the break they are interviewing "a real vampire from Transylvania". A "vampire" is one of the living dead, who feed off of human blood according to the legends. Count Dracula, the most famous of all vampires, is believed to have lived in Transylvania, a region of Romania. Don't confuse Transylvania with a "transvestite", a person who likes to dress up in the clothes traditionally worn by the opposite sex.
This is a true statement. Brent tells us that one Halloween he wore a hot dog costume, got chased by a neighbor's dog and had to "hide in a dumpster all night". A "dumpster" is a large rubbish bin (UK) or garbage can (US). "To hide (oneself)" is to conceal oneself, or to go somewhere where one cannot be seen.
This is a true statement. Moira wants to know "about the contest". A "contest" is another name for a "competition". Radio Rhubarb is accepting emails from its listeners and will give a prize to the listener with the "scariest" (or most frightening) story. Brent tells us that the prize is a "trip for two to a haunted castle in Scotland". A "trip" is a "voyage", "journey" or "holiday".
This is a false statement. Brent asks Moira how they celebrate Halloween in Scotland. Moira replies that "it's pretty much the same as in America actually". If one thing is "pretty much the same" as another it means that they are similar, or that there are no major differences between them. According to Moira, Scottish people celebrate Halloween in more or less the same way as Americans.

1 contestants: "Contestants" is the term we were looking for here. A "contestant" is someone who enters or participates in a competition, a race, etc. Example: "Eight contestants entered the race this year, but only three of them made it to the finish line".
2 perform: "Perform" is the right answer. To "perform (a poem in front of an audience)" is to "present" it publicly. Here's another example: "Gritney performed her song on live television despite her broken leg".
3 entertainment: "Entertainment" is the best answer here. To "entertain" someone is to "amuse, please, or divert" them, usually in the form of performing a song, acting in a film, telling jokes on a stage, etc. If something is "entertaining", it is "amusing" or "fun to watch". Example: "Sebastian worked in the entertainment industry for ten years, but he hated the media attention".

"Icarus is... facing some prison time."
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This sentence could also be expressed as:
"Icarus is... facing some prison time."
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one will contest a prison sentence. To "contest (a decision)" is "to object to" or "to dispute" it. Example: Philip has contested many sexual harassment cases in his career.
This is the correct choice. The expression "(You are) facing prison time" means that it is probable that you will be imprisoned, or are going to prison. "Prison time" refers to a period in prison, or when one is "imprisoned". In this context, the verb "to face" means "to be certain to encounter", for example: Horatio faces a difficult life in the big city. "To be likely" is synonymous with "to be probable or expected".
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one has already been sent to prison.
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one will plead guilty for one's crimes. To "plead guilty" is to declare oneself guilty or responsible for a crime.
