It is interesting that I got these three answers from an online dictionary, but you say that "I couldn't even find any answers using the dictionary website."
With the remaining sentences, you can try the dictionary again, carefully looking over the definitions and using the cues from the sentence to make your decisions.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Try using wikiwordy to help with some of these. The website provides a lot of example sentences, and helps you better understand how to use them appropriately in context.
