I'm visiting family this weekend and so my internet presence will be spotty at best. I will update when I can but if things are late/don't happen for a day or so then please be understanding.

Personally not a fan of questions like that, where there's no real way to logic it (unless I'm missing something, other than the word length), similar to the written Indian language question in the previous round which couldn't be logic'ed, and that you have to already know something about it in advance.

I probably would have gone C based on the last 3 letters of it looking most similar to English, but which was wrong.

I logic-ed it out.

If you know θ is a "th" sound, you can eliminate A and C instantly. The λ (lambda = "l" sound) in D made me bet it all on B.

As for Q4.....no idea. I just split it evenly between three of those people.

If you also knew λ as Lambda, you could eliminate D by the same principle as C.

All of this relies on you knowing that Athens is the capital of Greece obviously.

True, didn't think of maths. But no Stuck that's too extreme.
