We need to listen to the dialogue for the answers to the following questions.

Japanese is what is called an ‘agglutinative’ language. This means that, by and large, the stems of Japanese words do not change to reflect differences in tense and aspect (how a verb relates to the flow of time), but instead the end of words change to accommodate new meanings. This can be viewed in the differences between the long and short forms and the て-form—the base of almost all verbs remains the same, while the ending takes on a different shape. This is helpful to understand for listening exercises like these where the speakers are using short forms of verbs that you are still somewhat unfamiliar with. This is because a good strategy for these dialogues is to focus on the stems of the words. After all, the conjugations are mostly important for understanding the tense and grammatical mood (manner in which a verb occurs) of verbs, which is less important for answering these specific questions.

This question is asking us who was late. In the first line, Ken apologizes to Michiko for being late by combining the て-form with the casual word for ‘sorry’ or ‘excuse me.’ As we have now learned how to use qualifying nouns, we can answer by saying that ‘Ken is the person who was late.’ Thus, we answer as follows:
けんさんが遅くなった人です。
（けんさんがおそくなった人です。）

This question is asking us how long either Michiko or Ken waited. After Ken apologizes, he asks how long Michiko was waiting. She responds that she was waiting for about 10 minutes. Thus, we answer as follows:
みちこさんは十分ぐらい待ちました。
（みちこさんはじゅっぷんぐらいまちました。）

This question is asking us what Ken and Michiko are doing/will do. After they discuss Ken’s lateness, he asks Michiko if she has eaten. She hasn’t, and the two of them discuss what they want to have for dinner. They settle on pizza. Thus, we answer as follows:
けんさんとみちこさんはイタリアのレストランでピザを食べます。

This question is asking us where the restaurant is. At the end of the dialogue, Ken explains that the restaurant is inside the hotel. Thus, we answer as follows:
