This is an incorrect choice. The correct sentence should read, "I am sitting ON a nice big couch". One cannot "sit in on" a couch because a couch is not an activity! You cannot "attend" a couch.
This is an incorrect choice. The correct sentence should read, "I'm going to watch a film" or "I am going to attend a film screening". However, one cannot "sit in on" a film because it is not an activity in which other people are participating.
This is a correct choice. To "sit in on (negotiations)" is to attend negotiations without participating in them. The expression is used here in the same way as Philip uses it in the dialogue. Philip tells Cheryl that Brian is an intern who will be attending this meeting, but will not be participating in it.
This is an incorrect choice. A "sit-in" is a form of peaceful protest in which participants sit down and refuse to move. One can "participate in" a sit-in. However, one cannot "sit in on" a protest, because it is an activity in which you either actively participate in (and are part of the protest), or don't participate in (and are not part of the protest). For example, you also cannot "sit in on" a rugby game. You either play in it or watch it. "To sit in on" generally refers to meetings or classes.
This is a correct choice. To "sit in on (a class)" is to attend or audit the class without participating in it. A student who wishes to sit in on a class most likely wants to listen to the professor conduct the class, but won't be participating in the course like the other students. This expression refers to attending an activity in which you don't participate (but others do).

This is an incorrect choice. To "sit in on" a meeting does not share the same meaning as refusing to attend one. This should not be confused with a "sit-in" which is a form of peaceful protest in which participants sit down and refuse to move.

This is the correct choice. To "sit in on (a meeting)" is to attend without participating, often in an unofficial capacity. Note that this does not mean that the person cannot speak during the meeting or is deprived of their official functions. Luna invites Bruno to sit in on the interviews, meaning that he is welcome to observe their progress.
This is an incorrect choice. To "sit in on" a meeting does not mean to participate in one via speaker phone, even though this is what Luna invites Bruno to do. She invites Bruno to observe the internship interviews.
