This is the only statement which is not true. Xavier Delavigne died in an explosion, he did not survive. He "was survived" by his son and two grandsons, which means that Xavier's son and grandsons will carry on the family name, or that they are Xavier's inheritors or heirs.
This is a true statement. In the article, we read that Xavier was raised by a Polish immigrant (in the metro) who taught him "the art of perfume-making". The Polish man's name was Sebastian, and he taught Xavier how to make perfumes. "Taught" is the past form of the irregular verb "to teach" (teach/taught/taught).
This is a true statement. Xavier shop "has been left to Bruno". This means that Bruno "inherited" or "was given" his grandfather's store, or that he is the new owner of the store.

Inheritance : "Inheritance" is money (or possessions or property) passing to relatives when the owner dies. Brian writes that his great aunty Hilda has "passed away" (a polite way of saying that she has died) and "left" (or given) him £5000. We could also say that "Brian has inherited £5000".
Heritage: "Heritage" is used to describe property (or culture) that is transferred from one generation to the next. Example: "English Heritage" is an organization that looks after historical buildings and monuments in England. "Heritage" is not used to describe small sums of money left to relatives when someone dies.
Patrimony: "Patrimony" is used to describe property that is passed from one generation to another (houses, castles etc.). "Patrimony" is not used to describe money.

This is a true statement. Brian tells Hannah, "my grandfather insisted that I be married before receiving the inheritance." Brian has to be married to a "lady". Hannah offers to "pretend" to be his wife, in order for Brian to receive his inheritance.
This is a true statement. Brian says that his grandfather "was very wealthy". To be "wealthy" is to have a lot of money, and is synonymous with "rich".
This is incorrect. Brian says that his grandfather has "passed away". To "pass away" (American English, "to pass") is "to cease to exist", or "to die".

The best term to describe property, material possessions or money which is given by family members when they die is:
The best term to describe property, material possessions or money which is given by family members when they die is:
This choice is incorrect. The term "estate" has several meanings. In the dialogue, it is used to simply refer to the sum of one's "property" or "possessions". An "estate" can also describe a large area of private property in the country, or a large area of property development, such as a "housing estate", made up of many flats.
This is the best choice. An "inheritance" refers to property or money which is passed to family members on the death of their owner. To "inherit (money)" is to receive or acquire it after the death of a relative. Brian says he's going to "inherit" his grandfather's estate - he's going to receive his dead grandfather's money, material possessions and property.
This choice is incorrect. An "heir" refers to someone who receives money or property from a dead relative. Brian is the "heir" to his grandfather's "estate".
This choice is incorrect. Although similar in meaning to "inheritance", the term "heritage" is usually used to describe property (or culture) that is transferred from one generation to the next. Example: Our churches and buildings should be preserved as part of our national heritage.
