Candy reports that the weather in Vatican City will be "hot hot hot", with sunshine, and recommends that the Pope go swimming. "Warm" is synonymous with "hot" in this context, though the term generally expresses lower temperatures than "hot".
Candy never indicates that it will rain this weekend. She mentions humidity, but says that there will be sunshine and no wind.
"Fog" refers to a layer or cover of condensed water in the sky. Often fog obscures visibility and sunlight. Candy mentions humidity in Vatican city, but no fog.
Candy reports that this weekend will be humid, especially Saturday and Sunday morning. Humid weather describes "wet" and "heavy" conditions, where the moisture in the air can be felt.

This statement is false. Brent tells Candy that "London hasn't seen smog since 1952", indicating that "smog" is no longer common in London (though it once was, during the industrial revolution).
Candy says that "the fog will be around all weekend". The expression "to be around" indicates that fog will "be present". Example: "Humans have been around for thousands of years". The main point of Candy's report is that there is a lot of fog in London this weekend.
This statement is false. Although Brent describes "smog" as the result of coal "burning", he is not referring to a burning building.
Towards the end of this broadcast, Candy falls down a hole in the street and ends up in a "sewer" which smells "really bad". "Sewers" are the network of underground tunnels and pipes which drain waste and water. Brent concludes the dialogue by thanking Candy, who is "reporting live from the heart of the London sewers".
This statement is false. Candy initially reports that London is full of "smog" this weekend. Brent then corrects her saying that there is no longer a lot of "smog" (which describes industrial pollution) in London. Brent explains that "smog is caused by a mixture of smoke and sulphur dioxide. 'Fog" is a natural occurrence which has to do with condensation in the atmosphere. Fog and smog are terms which describe different weather conditions.

1 delayed: "Delayed" is the correct answer. In the conversation, the pilot says she is sorry for the "delayed arrival" of the plane. This means that they have arrived late. She could also have said "I apologise for the delay", using "delay" as a noun.
2 behalf: "On behalf of" is the correct answer. In her announcement, the pilot thanks the passengers for travelling with her company "on behalf of" her colleagues on the plane. This means that both she and her flight crew appreciate the business of the passengers.
3 fog: "Fog" is the correct answer. The pilot says that "the fog greatly obscured visibility". "Fog" is a layer of tiny water particles which makes it difficult to see. It is rather like clouds, but lies closer to the Earth's surface.
