The verb "to fire" is generally used to describe an employee dismissed from their job. The verb has other uses, but it cannot be used to describe a person who is forced to leave their apartment.
To be "thrown out (of a place)" is to be removed by force, or to be asked to leave. In the active sense, to "throw someone out" is to physically expel them or to ask them to leave. Example, "I was thrown out of school for smoking in the classroom." One can also "throw out" an object, which means to throw it in the rubbish or garbage.
To be "kicked out (of a place)" is to be ejected by force, or asked to leave verbally. In the active sense, to "kick someone out" is to remove or eject them or ask them to leave. Example: I was kicked out of the meeting because I kept interrupting.
If something is "discarded", it is thrown away, or rejected, however this verb is exclusively used to refer to objects. One cannot be discarded from an apartment. Example: It's illegal to discard cigarette butts on the motorway.
To be "deported" is to be sent out or banished from a country. The verb can't be used to describe being "evicted" from an apartment.

This is incorrect. Susie doesn't want to abandon the design selection process, she wants to reject one of the designs.
This is incorrect. To "discard (an idea)" does not mean that one is favourable to it.
This is incorrect. To "discard (an idea)" does not mean that one wants to change it.
