We generally use 'hear' for such sounds that involuntarily come to our ears. However 'listen' is used when we pay attention to sounds that are going on somewhere. Similarly, in the given sentence, someone is saying to pay attention to the news at 9 pm today. We use 'listen to' where we pay attention to the listener. Hence, 'listen to' is the most appropriate answer.

The article 'The' is used to refer to specific or particular nouns & Article 'a' is used to modify non-specific nouns. For example, If I say Let's buy the book. I mean a specific book but if I say Let's buy a book, I mean any book rather than a specific book. Similarly, in the given sentence, the magnifying glass is not specified so it can be any glass. Hence, 'with a magnifying glass' is the most appropriate answer.

The phrase 'pull down' means demolish a building. Similarly, the given sentence also talks about an old building that was demolished. Hence, 'was pulled down' is the most appropriate answer.

We use both 'Little' & 'Less' for uncountable singular nouns like work, information, news, etc. However, 'less' is generally used when we do a comparison. But, in the given sentence we are not doing any comparison so 'less' will be replaced with 'little'. Hence, 'gave very little information' is the most appropriate answer.
