1. c; An average toaster uses, in a given period of time, more energy than the other three combined. On the other hand, the _average_ for a whole day is another matter (unless you really like toast), probably "b" in that case, but could be "a" depending on the lamp
2. a; probably, it would depend on the flow rate of the shower compared to haw much water was put in the tub, one could take a sponge bath with less water than a 5 minute shower.
3. a; again I have to say probably, they are difficult to compare. It would depend on what is being cooked, for large items the oven might be better, but for smaller items, one has to heat the whole oven in addition to the food.
4. b; less cold air falls out when the door is opened.
5, b; like 4, since the food displaces air, there is less cold air to fall out when the door is opened.
