The expression "carry out" does not make sense in this context. One cannot "carry out" with someone. It would be better to say: "Who are you hanging out with at the moment?" The phrasal verb "to hang out" has two principal meanings: to frequent a particular location (I'm hanging out at the bar near my house), or to do nothing special (-What are you doing? -Just hanging out.).
The expression "carry out" does not make sense in this context. One cannot get "carried out (with oneself)", but one can get "carried AWAY with oneself".
This sentence uses the expression "carry out" correctly, in the same way as Moira uses it in the broadcast. Moira tells us that Verne Callahan claimed the aliens "carried out" experiments on him. To "carry out" (a task, an experiment) is to complete or execute it. A "task" is a "job" or "chore" that needs to be done. Examples of "tasks": washing up, paying bills, posting a letter and baking a cake.
This sentence uses the expression "carry out" correctly. To be "carried out" (of a pub) means to be physically taken away (generally lifted up and "carried" by another person or people). In this case, the woman was so drunk that she couldn't walk under her own power. This use of the phrasal verb is related to the principal use of the verb "to carry", meaning to physically hold or lift an object (or person).

1 It is necessary: This is the best choice here. "Be sure" is similar to "be certain" and is used in instructions to indicate that something is necessary. For example: "be sure to close the windows before you leave".
1 Try your best: This is not right. "Try your best" is less emphatic than "be sure". It indicates that something is advisable though not absolutely necessary. For example: "Try your best to phone me tonight but if you can't, I'll probably be available tomorrow".
1 It is not recommended: This is incorrect. "It is not recommended" is advice NOT to do something. It has the opposite meaning to "be sure".
2 programs: This is correct. An "application" is a computer program designed for a specific task or use. For example, MicroTosh Word is an application for producing written documents.
2 documents: This is incorrect. A "document" is a data file or piece of work created with an application (such as "spreadsheet" created with MicroTosh Exsmell) but it is not the application itself.
2 electrical devices: This is incorrect. An electrical device (such as a mobile phone or a lamp) is a piece of equipment designed to perform a special function. An electrical device is not the same thing as an application which is a piece of software on a computer. Note that we do not normally "close" electrical devices, it would be more correct to say "switch off" or "turn off".
3 carrying out: This is a right choice. To "carry out" means to effect, accomplish or complete. For example: "They carried out their plan without incident". This is the best replacement for "perform" here.
3 realising: This is not the best choice. To "realise" can mean to make real or give reality to (a hope, fear, plan, etc.). For example: "One day I will realise my ambition of snowboarding with the Queen of England". However "realise an installation" is not idiomatic English.
3 accomplishing: This is incorrect. To "accomplish" can mean to succeed in doing or bring to pass. It is often used as a synonym of "to perform". However in this context, "to accomplish an installation" is unidiomatic and isn't the best choice.
