1 fox: "Fox" is the right answer here. "Foxes" (note the irregular plural) are wild animals which look like orange dogs with big tails. Historically, they only lived in the countryside, but nowadays they sometimes come into towns. In the radio broadcast, we learnt about "fox hunting", which is the pursuit of foxes in the country.
2 horse: "Horse" is the animal which was described here. "Horses" are beautiful four-legged animals with long tails and manes. People ride and race them for fun, and in the past they were an important means of transport. Example: "Marjorie wants to be a famous jockey and race horses at Ascot".
3 nose: "Nose" is the term we were looking for here. Most people and mammals have one "nose" in the middle of their face. We use our ears to hear, our eyes to see, and our noses to smell! Horatio Oléré has the most powerful nose in the history of the universe.
4 horns: "Horns" is the right answer here. "Horns" are hard, bone-like growths on the head of some animals. Animals use them to defend themselves against predators, and sometimes fight each other. Humans have used horns for many centuries. In the context of the radio program, the "horn" is a musical instrument used to call to others. "Horns" are used in hunting, in the army, etc.
5 hunt: "Hunt" is the correct term. To "hunt (a bear)" is to find, follow, catch, and kill it. People hunt animals because they want to eat them, take their fur, take their horns, etc.

Excerpt: I'm not sure if you've had any feedback from your colleagues regarding Miss Stake herself, but they have described her as "intrusive", "cold", and "stubborn"
Which animal from the list below is associated with being stubborn?
To be "stubborn" is to be "headstrong", unwilling to compromise, or inflexible. A stubborn person is close-minded, and refuses to consider other options than their own. This trait, or characteristic, is often associated with the mule, a small horse used as a work animal. Mules are known to be very stubborn, as they refuse to move and must be encouraged to move forward constantly. The idiom to be "stubborn as a mule" is common in English.
Fish are generally associated with being cold, drinking a lot and being "slippery" (wet and evasive). Fish are not associated with being "stubborn". Expressions about fish include: "to drink like a fish" (to drink a lot of alcohol), and "to be cold as a fish" (to be unfeeling and emotionless).
"An owl" is a regal, nocturnal bird with enormous eyes, pointed ears and a neck which can turn up to 180 degrees. The owl is associated with being "wise", meaning it is intelligent and compassionate. The idiom "wise as an owl" is a common one in English. The owl is not associated with being "stubborn".
A fox is generally associated with being sly, clever and cunning, terms which refer to the fox's intelligence and hunting tactics. To be as "sly as fox" is a common idiom indicating someone's intelligence. The fox is not associated with being "stubborn".

We would like to add that foxes [not done] are 2 welcome to apply, but we must insist that any such applicant already [not done] have 3 relevant prior experience. Goodboy luck!

1 send: After verbs such as to request that, to insist that or to require that, we use the present subjunctive. This is formed by taking the infinitive form of the verb (to send) and removing the word to. Another example: "We require that every applicant provide a saliva sample".
2 are: The present indicative tense is the best choice here. The writer of the advertisement is making it clear that foxes are welcome to apply: this is a general truth, so the simple present tense is appropriate. Another example: "Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse travel expenses".
3 have: After verbs such as to insist that or to advise that, we use the present subjunctive. This is still the case when the verb follows a modal verb such as must. Here, the writer is saying that it is necessary for a fox to have prior experience as a dog (in order to apply for the role). Another example: "I would advise that she take out an insurance policy".
