1 goods: This is the right answer. In this context, "goods" shares a similar meaning with "items", "products", or "objects to be sold". Here's another example: "We store our unsold goods in my father's garage".
1 warehouse: This is incorrect. Articles of trade may be referred to as "wares", but the warehouse is the place where you keep such items.
1 inventory: This is incorrect. The term "inventory" refers to the collective list of your entire stock, rather than to each individual article.
2 inventory: This is correct. Your inventory is the collective term for the merchandise you have. Example: "We need to check the inventory: I think one of our employees has been stealing sweets from the store room".
2 warehouse: This isn't the best choice. The "warehouse" is not the merchandise, but rather the place to keep merchandise.
2 goods: This isn't the best choice. "Goods" are the units of stock, items, or products which make up your inventory.
3 warehouse: This is the best choice here. The warehouse is a building or structure designed to hold your products until they are bought or shipped! Example: "Charles works in a warehouse. He loves taking care of cardboard boxes".
3 inventory: This is not correct. The inventory is the collective term for the merchandise you have.
3 goods: This is not correct. Your goods might be kept in such a storage room, but the word "goods" does not refer to the place itself.

This is a true statement. In the article we read that Britons "cannot cope with the sky-high house prices at home", meaning that British people are finding that house prices are too high in the UK. The verb "to cope" describes being able to tolerate or deal with a situation. Example: Bruno couldn't cope with the pain in his tooth, so he went to the dentist. A "sky-high (price)" is a price which is extremely high.
This statement is not true. The article states "British buyers come in all shapes and sizes", meaning that there are many different types of British buyers. There is no mention that only rich Britons can afford to buy property in the US. An "income" refers to one's "revenue" or "earnings", usually one's "salary" or the amount one is paid.
This is a false statement. The article states that "British visitors to the US are used to the strange sensation of seeing bargains all around." A "bargain" is a "good deal" or a "very good value" item. Example: I found a bargain the other day: an original copy of the Beaties Fabbey Rd album for $10. "Goods" refers to "merchandise", "products" or "stock".
This statement is true. We read in the article that "the US property market is currently suffering a credit crisis, making it attractive for Britons" and that "the collapse of the dollar is key". One of the main points of the article is to suggest that the British pound is currently very strong against the American dollar, meaning that the US housing market is attractive to British property buyers.
