This statement is true. Susie announces that she doesn't appreciate Philip's "sexual innuendos and constant comments" on her body and clothes! This is one of the reasons that Susie is upset and unhappy with Philip. In this context, "figure" and "body" are synonymous.
This statement is true. When Philip declares that Susie "loves it" when Philip stops by for chats, Susie responds that she in fact "hates" or "detests" when Philip visits. This is one of the reasons that Susie is upset or unhappy with Philip.
This statement is false. Luna hasn't taken anyone's side in this discussion, she simply wants to hear what Susie has to say about Philip. "To take someone's side (in an argument)" is to support one person's argument or to favor one point of view over another.
This statement is false. At no point in this dialogue does Susie say that Philip has touched her, either appropriately or inappropriately. "To be angry (at, with someone)" is to be mad at them or upset with them.
This statement is true. Susie tells both Philip and Luna that she is sick of Philip's "stupid sexist nicknames". In this dialogue, Philip uses several "nicknames" (familiar or affectionate terms for a person or object) for Susie and Luna, including "honey bunch", "pussy cat", "sugar pie", "Mamacita" and more. Philip even refers to himself as "Daddy"! To be "sick of (a person)" is to be tired of them or frustrated with them.

This statement is not true. There is no indication that Bruno and Horatio have too much food. Bruno is asking Horatio to make a choice between noodles and rice because they cannot afford to pay for anything else!
This statement is true. In a financial context, the adjective "broke" means "having no money". In this dialogue, Bruno and Horatio mention that they have no money. This is why their culinary options include only rice and noodles.
This statement is true. Bruno explains that Horatio has been sleeping in a "tree house", a sort of cabin constructed in a tree, usually designed for children in the backyard or garden of a home.
This statement is not true. Bruno states that he will start selling perfumes door to door once Horatio finishes the perfumes he is currently working on. Selling the perfumes is a future event, so Bruno cannot be "tired of it" or sick of it yet!
