The conversation does not mention benefits, so B is wrong. She is 「舍不得」 (reluctant to leave) the company, not saying she has conflicts with her boss, so C is wrong. Taking care of children is not mentioned at all, so D is wrong.

The man says 「换一根就行」 (just replace one tube) and 「没必要」 (there is no need) to buy a new one, meaning replacing the tube is enough; C is correct. Buying a new machine was suggested by the woman and rejected by the man, so A is wrong. The washing machine has been used for two years, but the man did not say to return it, so B is wrong.

The teacher says 「你可以先去图书馆查查近年来的相关论文」 (you can first look up relevant papers from recent years in the library), so B is correct.

「更换电梯」 means replacing an old elevator with a new one. The following 「成本太高」 (the cost is too high) also shows that money would be spent replacing equipment, so B is correct. 「交换」 means two sides exchange things, so A is unsuitable. 「转变」 is mostly used for changes in attitudes or ideas and cannot take 「电梯」, so C is wrong. 「改正」 takes a mistake as its object, so D is wrong.

The later text says 「自然就不觉得时间长了」 (naturally, they no longer feel that the wait is long), showing that after mirrors were installed, fewer people complained; C is correct.
