1) ножницы (The scissors - множественное число), поэтому с ними берём глагол are -(тоже мн.число)

2) The clothes (одежда)- в англ. языке всегда имеет мн. число,  поэтому берём глагол were - тоже во мн. числе

3) These glasses - эти очки (мн. число), согласуется с глаголом are (мн.ч).                  (this - это местоимение единств. числа и не подходит по согласованию)

4) The goods - тоже отличается (как и одежда, и пижама) от русского языка и в английском языке не имеют они единственного числа и всегда берутся только с глаголом множественного числа.

5) Весы (The scales), так же как и ножницы, относятся к парным предметам и являются существительными множественного числа, поэтому берём глагол need (так как needs, с окончанием -s берётся с глаголами в единственном числе)

6) Здесь могут быть два перевода: a) Те обычаи  были описаны в статье. И тогда отмечено всё правильно, когда берём мн. число:

Those customs were...

Но слово  customs имеет и другое значение, оно переводится и как слово - таможня, и тогда, хоть на конце слова есть буква -s, существительное относится к единственному числу. Если перевести предложение Та таможня была описана в статье. (Про ту таможню писали в статье), то тогда нужно взять слова That customs was

7) Пижама - парный предмет, в англ. языке относится к существительным множественного числа, поэтому артикль A брать нельзя, и глагол надо взять для мн. числа - look, но не looks.

I would like to tell you about the house where I live together with my family. It’s a modern building and it is twelve storeys high. Our apartment is on the top floor, so we use an elevator to get there. I should say that the apartment is quite spacious but at the same time cosy.

Describing my home

The flat has got three rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The living-room is the largest one with a sofa, wall units and two big comfortable armchairs in it. There is also a small coffee table between the armchairs. The floor is covered with a soft carpet. It’s the room where our family and friends get together. We usually watch TV there, play games or just chat and rest.
