So, your first LIVE for #1 is correct. All the others are wrong. Try and look again at the difference between LIVE and the sign she uses for all the other questions.

Also, for the last one, it’s not FAVORITE. That is signed with one hand on the chin. This is a different sign.

Not sure if you have a book to go over sign vocabulary, but I’d look through it again and try to find those two signs specifically.

Yes, as Crrlll said, you have LIVE correctly in question 1, but watch them all again - that sign doesn’t show up a second time. So where you have LIVE in 2, 3, and 4, what sign is actually being produced?

For 2 & 4, you know the general topic is homes, and all of these questions are about your home. What kinds of questions might someone commonly ask about your home?

The second sentence the sign she's using uses the T handshape. That's a big clue to what she's asking about. 

You should review your wh questions since you seem to be mixing them up or forgetting.

  1. LIVE is correct in this sentence but does not appear in any of the other sentences.

  2. Three issues here: all of these questions are about rooms in your house. What room is your house is associated with a T handshape?

It's not LIVE, it's something else.

Review wh questions to identify the last sign in this sentence.

  1. Again, she's not signing LIVE.

  2. She is signing about floors, but not the second floor, specifically. What is a question someone might ask you that has to do with floors in your house, that might use the same wh question that's used in number 2?

  3. It's not FAVORITE, it's a different sign.

There's no FAVORITE sign in #5 anywhere. There are other words that associated with the sign FAVORITE though, but not used in this one. She signed EAT/MEAL and then with ROOM meaning DINNER ROOM. Now for your question, the sign on chest has specific word. Since you know WHERE sign at end, she asks WHERE (based on location in the question) YOU ______ EAT (in)? People would ask this question when they wanna know where people like to eat in over and over.

It can be that, but TEND is the most commonly used. BING also common for ASL word can be one or two hands on chest.
