There may be more than one correct answer!
This is an incorrect choice. Jean mentions that he has a 'landlady', which suggests that he is renting the apartment and hasn't 'bought' or 'purchased' it. A 'landlady' is a woman who owns (= possesses) and rents land or property to others.
This is a correct choice. Jean says that his colleagues are invited to a 'house-warming party'. A 'house-warming (party)' is a party which is held to celebrate moving into a new home, or a celebration where a new resident presents their new home to friends and family. 'To move in (to a property)' is to go to live in a new home. Example: I bought the house last week, and I'm moving in at the end of next week.
This is a correct choice. Jean writes in his email that 'I know you will all be very relieved that I won't be asking to sleep on your sofa from now on.' This means that Jean won't need to ask to sleep at his colleagues' homes, since he has now found an apartment to live in.

1 have been staying: Because we are talking about "the past several days", we know that this action began in the past and continues into the present, so we must use the present perfect progressive tense (has been staying). The present perfect progressive (or continuous) tense describes an action which began in the past and continues into the present.
1 am staying: This is incorrect. We do not use the present progressive tense for events that started in the past and continue up to the present. The present progressive is generally used the present progressive tense is used to describe actions in progress.
1 stay: This is incorrect. We do not use the present simple tense for events that started in the past and continue up to the present. The present simple is generally used for habitual actions.
2 for: The preposition "for" can be used to indicate a general period of time that is finished or still continuing, or the duration which something lasted. Example: "I have been living in New York for years, for months, for weeks," etc.
2 since: "Since" is grammatically incorrect here. "Since" isn't used to describe the duration of time, but rather to indicate when an action began. Example: I have loved watching trains since I was five years old.
2 during: "During", similar to the terms "while" and "throughout", is used to link an action with an event, for example: During my first year of university, I ate very little. "During" cannot be used to indicate the duration of an action.
3 homesick: "Homesick" is a state of depression by being away from one's family/home/country. Example: I went to North Korea for a year, after 2 days I was very homesick and missed my family.
3 nostalgia: "Nostalgia" and "homesickness" have slightly different meanings. "Nostalgia" generally refers a feeling of sentimentality for the past, whereas "homesickness" refers to the feeling of missing your home! In any case, the noun nostalgia shouldn't be used here. An adjective is required in this construction.
3 miss: "Miss" is a verb, not an adjective. Using it here is grammatically incorrect.
4 roommate: A "roommate" is someone with whom you share a room or a flat / apartment. Masaki is Jean's roommate because they are both sleeping in the same room, in fact they are sleeping in the same bed!
4 tenant: This is incorrect. A "tenant" is someone that pays rent to use or live in a building or property owned by another person.
4 landlord: This is incorrect. A landlord is either the owner of a property, or the person responsible for maintaining it.
5 made: This is correct. We usually use the verb "to make" to describe the preparation or cooking of food.
5 did: This is incorrect. We say "to make food" and not "to do food". In English, the verb "to do" generally refers to chores and tasks: to do the dishes, to do one's homework.
5 cook: This is incorrect. Although "to cook food" is to prepare it for consumption, we cannot use this verb in the present tense. The present tense refers to habitual actions, here we need to use the preterit tense ("cooked" or "made").
6 disgusting: This is correct. A "disgusting (meal)" tastes repulsive or very bad. "Disgusting" shares similar meanings with the following adjectives: foul, repulsive, revolting, gross.
6 disgusted: This is not correct. To be "disgusted" is to be shocked or sickened. Example: 'I am disgusted by your refusal to allow me two hours off work to attend my mother's funeral.
6 disgusts me: This is incorrect. We can say that the "food disgusts me" but not the "food is disgusts me".
7 I miss your pigeon pâté: The verb "to miss" has several meanings in English, however in this context, it means to "remember with affection" or "to feel the absence" of someone. If Jean misses his parents, then he is regretting their absence.
7 your pigeon pâté misses me: This is incorrect. In English, the expression "to miss someone" is commonly used in the active voice: I miss you, They miss us. Note that it is unlikely that the pâté is capable of affection for someone.
7 your pigeon pâté was missing: This is incorrect. If an object "is missing", it cannot be found, or is lost.
8 went: This is correct. This sentence is preceded by the term "yesterday", therefore the past simple tense, used for single completed actions in the past, should be used.
8 have been: This is incorrect. The present perfect tense is not used to describe completed past events which occurred at specific times.
8 have gone: This is incorrect. The present perfect tense is not used to describe completed past events which occurred at specific times.
9 to: This is correct. "To" is the correct preposition to use when describing movement "towards" or in the direction of a destination. "To" indicates the object or destination of this movement.
9 at: This is incorrect. The preposition "at" is not generally used after the verb "to go" to express an idea of movement. We do not "go at" a town, we "go to" a town.
9 in: This is incorrect. The preposition "in" is not generally used after the verb "to go" to express an idea of movement. We do not "go in" a town, we "go to" a town.
10 drove: The verb "to drive" is irregular: drive / drove / have driven. Because this event occurred yesterday, the simple past tense should be used: Mrs. Brady drove her car.
10 drived: This is incorrect. The verb "to drive" is irregular. It cannot be conjugated as "drived" in any tense.
10 has driven: This is incorrect. We do not use the present perfect form of the verb to describe an action which took place "yesterday".
11 wrong: This is the correct answer. Something that is "wrong" is not correct or accurate. Example: My answer to this question is wrong. Jean says that Mrs. Brady drives on the wrong side of the road: In the UK, people drive on the left hand side of the road, which differs from other countries in Europe.
11 bad: This is incorrect. "Wrong" should not be confused with with "bad" (which describes something of poor quality, or is evil). "Right" and "wrong" (correct and incorrect) have different meanings than "good" and "bad" (positive and negative).
11 worse: This is incorrect. Using the comparative form of bad (worse) is grammatically incorrect.
12 go surfing: This is correct. To describe performing activities and sports, we often use the verb "to go" + ING. Example: Last week, I went skiing in the Alps, and next week I'm going golfing in Dubai.
12 do surfing: This is incorrect. We do not cannot precede "surfing" with the auxiliary "do".
12 be surfing: This is incorrect. We do not cannot precede "surfing" with the auxiliary "be".
13 many: We use "many" to describe countable nouns, such as "monsters".
13 much: This is incorrect. We use "much" to describe uncountable nouns like "interest".
13 a lot: This is incorrect. "A lot" would be correct if "of" preceded the countable noun "monsters".
14 ate: The verb "to eat" is irregular: eat / ate / have eaten. Because this event occurred yesterday, the preterit tense must be used: Masaki ate Jean's sandwiches.
14 have eaten: Using the present perfect "have eaten" is grammatically incorrect here. Continuing to use the simple past tense to describe "yesterday's actions" is the best choice.
14 eating: A progressive form of the verb shouldn't be used here. This is not an action in progress.
15 threw: The verb "to throw" is irregular: throw / threw / have thrown. Because this event occurred yesterday, the preterit tense must be used: Masaki threw a stone.
15 has thrown: Using the present perfect "have thrown" is grammatically incorrect here. Continuing to use the simple past tense to describe "yesterday's actions" is the best choice.
15 throwing: A progressive form of the verb shouldn't be used here. This is not an action in progress.
16 coming: This is correct. To "look forward to (doing something)" is to be excited and impatient about it or to anticipate it with pleasure. Jean is impatient about returning, or "coming back" to France.
16 come: This is incorrect. The idiom "to look forward to" is always followed by a noun or the verb in the ING form.
16 came: This is incorrect. The idiom "to look forward to" is always followed by a noun or the verb in the ING form.
