Hello Paula and thanks for the interesting excercise! My answers are:
1 c
2 c
3 d
4 c It seems that she/he is trying on the shoes this moment, so I used present continuous. If she/he was speaking generally, I would use simple present. Although, I am wondering if in such situation we can use the word "fit" in simple present.
5 a
6 d
7 c
8 b
9 b
10 d
11 b
12 d
13 c
14 c Paula, I think you accidentally put the blank in the wrong place. I think it is more correct to say like this: When Martin _______ the car, he took it out for a drive. Tell me if I am wrong.
15 a
16 b
