Решение
В каждой паре слова похожи, поэтому смотрим на смысл и на устойчивые сочетания.
turn down — «сделать тише», turn off — «выключить». Фраза turn your music down a bit — «сделайте музыку чуть тише» (глагол turn стоит в начале, down — после дополнения). Во второй реплике «I'll turn it off» — «я её выключу» (уходит из дома). Глагол с частицей: turn … down, turn … off.
line [laɪn] — «строка», verse [vɜːs] — «куплет». Вторую строку (line) переписывать не нужно, а последнее слово в первом куплете (verse) — нужно.
singing — «петь на конкурсе», humming [ˈhʌmɪŋ] — «напевать без слов, мурлыкать». Продолжительное действие — he's been humming (Present Perfect Continuous).
tune [tjuːn] — «мелодия, мотив» в theme tune («музыкальная тема из фильма»); melody [ˈmelədi] — «мелодия» в целом: «он любит эту мелодию».
hear [hɪə] — «услышать» (случайно, ушами): Did you hear Karla practising? listen — «слушать внимательно»: I could listen to her all day (после could — начальная форма, и предлог to).
