isolated — уединённый, удалённый; речь о небольшом городе в сельской местности.
household chores — домашние дела; мытьё посуды относится к домашним делам.
nosy — любопытная, суёт нос в чужие дела; это соответствует тому, что миссис Финч подглядывает за людьми. Примечание: на фото напечатано “arrogant/noisy”; по смыслу предложения подходящего варианта среди них нет. Вероятно, имеется в виду “nosy”.
went soft — ослабли; мышцы ослабли из-за долгого отсутствия тренировок.
vacuum — вакуумный шланг.
pitch — футбольное поле.
spacious — просторный; в кабинете должны поместиться большой стол и два книжных шкафа.
sociable — общительный; предложение поясняет, что ему некомфортно знакомиться с новыми людьми.
extinct — вымершими; так говорят о видах растений и животных.
do — устойчивое сочетание: do experiments — проводить эксперименты.

Ответ: 8 isolated; 9 household chores; 10 nosy (вероятная опечатка в вариантах); 11 went soft; 12 vacuum; 13 pitch; 14 spacious; 15 sociable; 16 extinct; 17 do; 18 lack.
