1 booked: "Booked" is the right answer here. The verb "to book" means "to reserve", or to "buy a ticket". Note that, as a noun, the term "a book" refers to an object made of bound pages containing text, which can be found in libraries. Another example: "Could you book the concert tickets please? My credit card has expired.".
2 apologize: "Apologize" is the best answer here. To "apologize (to someone for something)" is to tell them that you are "sorry" for something you did. Example: "I'd like to apologize to the whole class for my bad behavior". Note that in the UK this term is written "apologise".
3 voucher: "Voucher" is the best choice. The term "voucher" shares a similar meaning with "coupon" and describes a document which has a set value and can be exchanged for goods. Example: "Vouchers make great birthday presents for people you don't like".
