Bob says that he and Icarus have been working across the hall from each other for "over" 13 years which indicates that they have been working across the hall for "more than" thirteen years. This is a long period of time.
Bob refers to the charges by saying, "Well, I can't imagine what they might be". This is Bob's way of saying that he doesn't know anything about the charges. The verb "to claim" describes the act of declaring or stating something which may or may not be true. Example: The president claimed he didn't know anything about the tax deficit.
This is incorrect. Bruno, Bob and Icarus discuss the problem of Bob's expense account, but they haven't resolved the problem yet. To "resolve (a problem)" is to "answer" or "fix" it. The drinks served at the end of the dialogue are to accompany the meeting.
Bob says that his son "just had a minor case of the flu", which means that he had a minor viral infection (usually with the following symptoms: fever, sore throat, muscle pains, and a headache). A "mild illness" refers to a sickness which is moderate or not serious.

1 unmarried: This is the right choice. "Single" in this context means "unmarried". Example: "I'm 46 years old, I'm still single, and I'm very jealous of all my married friends".
1 famous: This is incorrect. A well-known person or a celebrity is "famous". They are very rarely single, even when they are very ugly!
1 engaged: This is incorrect. To be "engaged" means to be to soon be married, to be someone's fiancé or fiancée. You are not "single" if you are "engaged" (even if you are very drunk!)
2 assertion: This is correct. An "assertion" means the same thing as a "claim", or "a statement of something which you believe". Example: "Philip claims to have slept with over 600 women, but we don't believe him".
2 complaint: Incorrect. A complaint is what you make when you are unhappy about something, for example, the service provided by a company.
2 proof: This is not the right choice. "Proof" is evidence of something. A scientists need proof of a theory before they can show it to be correct. The verb is "to prove".
3 danger: This is correct. The terms "threat" and "danger" share a similar meaning, and are used to refer to a "menace" or "bad event in the future". To "pose a threat" is to "present a danger". Example: "Global warming poses a serious threat to the planet Earth".
3 illness: This is not the right answer. An "illness" is a "sickness" of the body or mind. It is not synonymous with "threat".
3 handicap: This is not the right answer. A "handicap" is a "disability" or an "inability to do something", which does not share a similar meaning with "threat".
4 release: This is correct. A "release" in this context means the same as an "outlet" - an "exit" or a "way of letting something out". Here's another example: "My paintings provide me with an outlet for my creativity, and prevent me from going insane".
4 home: This is the wrong answer. Home is where you live: it is your "house", "bungalow", "apartment", etc. This does not share a similar meaning with "outlet".
4 cure: This is not the right answer. A "cure" is something that makes an illness or disease better. It does not mean the same as "outlet".
