1 surrounded: The verb "to surround" means to encircle or encompass something. In this broadcast, the American pilot informs Ray and Rachid that their helicopter has been "surrounded", meaning that American aircrafts are situated all around the helicopter. Essentially, the pilot is telling Ray that there is no escape!
2 land: The verb "to land" means to bring a vessel or vehicle to earth (terra firma). In this broadcast, the US air force demands that Ray and Rachid "land" their helicopter immediately.

This is a false statement. The pilot does talk about the Rocky Mountains, but he is not planning to stop there. In fact, he wants to get to Boston as quickly as possible and knows a shortcut over the Rocky Mountains. A "shortcut" is an alternative route that is quicker than the traditional one.
This is a true statement. The pilot says "Our ETA in Boston is 1:30 AM, but again, I'll do my best to make it there by midnight." This means that the scheduled arrival time of the flight (ETA stands for "Estimated Time of Arrival") is 1:30 AM, however the pilot will try to arrive before midnight. To "land (a plane)" means to bring a vessel or vehicle to earth (terra firma).
This is a true statement. During his announcement, the pilot introduces his co-pilot and says "we're happy to have him with us on his first flight". This means, incredibly, that the co-pilot is flying a plane for the first time in his life! "Flown" is the past participle of the irregular verb "to fly".
This statement is not true. The pilot does not say that the weather is bad. He actually says "The weather looks good, although it is night time, and I can't see much." This means that he believes that there is no bad weather on the way to Boston, and secondly, that because it is dark outside (it is night time), he is not able to see the weather conditions properly.

1 take off: This is correct. The terms "to land" and "to take off" have opposite meanings. To "land (a plane)" is to bring a plane down on to the ground or the earth. To "take off" has an opposite meaning: when a plane "takes off" it leaves the ground and ascends into the air. In the audio, Captain Dare wants to land his plane, and requests permission from the control tower to do this.
1 air: This is incorrect. To "air" does not have the opposite meaning to the verb "to land". The verb "to air" can mean to "express" (example: We aired our views to the policeman), or to "aerate" or "expose to air" (example: I always air my wet pants on the balcony).
1 fly: This is incorrect. To "fly" does not have the opposite meaning to the verb "to land". To "fly (a plane)" is to operate it so that it moves through the air.
1 unland: This is incorrect. There is no such word in the English language!
2 give: This is the correct answer. To "grant (a request)" is to allow it or to consent it. Example: My girlfriend's father granted me permission to marry his daughter. The expression "permission granted" is commonly used to declare that a request has been allowed or authorised.
2 deny: This is incorrect. "To grant" and "to deny" have opposite meanings. To "deny (a request)" is to refuse it. Note that to "deny (a rumour)" means to declare it to be untrue or to refuse to acknowledge it.
2 request: This is incorrect. To "grant" does not share the same meaning as to "request". It is Captain Dare who is requesting permission to land, and the control tower who is accepting (or granting) the request.
2 charge for: This is incorrect. To "grant (permission)" does not share the same meaning as to "charge for" it. To "charge for (a service)" is to ask for payment for it. The control tower is allowing Captain Dare's plane to land, not charging them for the privilege.

1 out of: This is the most suitable choice. To fly "out of" a city is to depart or leave "from" a city. Example: For my trip to the US, we flew out of Heathrow Airport.
1 by: This is incorrect. To fly "by" a place is to fly via it, or to make a stop there.
1 of: This choice is incorrect. To fly "of" a place is not grammatically correct.
2 land: This is the correct choice. The travel agent is referring to Kevin's arrival. When a plane "lands" at a destination, it arrives there. To "land (a plane)" is to bring a plane down onto the ground (or earth). The opposite is "to take off".
2 take off: This is incorrect. The travel agent is referring to Kevin's arrival (not departure). A plane "takes off" when it leaves the ground and ascends into the air.
2 fly: This is incorrect. We fly "to" a place, not "at" a place.
3 upgrade: This is the correct choice. To "upgrade (a ticket)" is to raise it to a higher grade or class (usually from second class to first class). Example: The economy section was full, so the flight crew upgraded my ticket to business class.
3 update: This is incorrect. To "update (someone)" is to inform them of the latest news. To "update (a file)" is to supply it with the latest information.
3 upscale: This is incorrect. "Upscale" is an adjective meaning "classy", "luxurious", "elegant" or "expensive". For example: The restaurants in this neighborhood are quite upscale, I prefer eating at McFooFoo's Fried Food Emporium.
4 by: This is the correct choice. The preposition "by" is used for means of transport such as trains, planes, and automobiles. Example: "Edward goes by bus to the office every day." Note that to describe "walking", both "on foot" and "by foot" are used, however never "by feet"!
4 on: This is the incorrect preposition to use. We go "on foot" but not "on train". To be "on a train" is to be inside the train.
4 in: This is the incorrect preposition to use. The preposition "in" is rarely used with means of transport, such as trains. You can "live in a train", but not "travel in a train".
