If it takes Peter an hour to find a pencil, this implies that the desk is not very orderly. If it were orderly, he would be able to find items very quickly. Therefore, his problems have nothing to do with it being dirty (at least as far as the clues provide details). Likewise, while an orderly desk may be impressive, the word "impressive" doesn't do much to explain why he might have such trouble finding his pencils. Therefore, the best thing to say is that his desk is not orderly or is not organized.

There are two clues to pay attention to in this sentence. First, notice that it is discussing the appearance of the food. In the second part of the sentence, there is an important additional clue. It states that while the food looks nutritious, it actually is not. When something is not what it appears to be, it can be called "deceptive." Generally, something is deceptive when it is untruthful, and we most frequently use this to describe a person or the words used by an untruthful person; however, as used in this sentence, "deceptive" can also be applied to things like the appearance of food.

Although leaves can completely "plug up" a drain or gutter, this is not what is indicated by this sentence. The second half of the sentence states that the gutters were not able to drain quickly enough. This only indicates that the flow of water in the gutters was slowed by the leaves. Even though this is a common word, it is the only option that actually works for the context clues provided.

The general idea is that after hearing the loud sound, the child began to pay attention to every sound that he or she could hear. When we are "alert", we have this kind of fixed attention. When we use "alert" as a noun, we are describing something that is supposed to "grab" attention. For example, a "tornado alert" is a kind of warning that is meant to make us aware that the danger of a tornado is very nearby.
