Please note 2 things first. In the instructions, the word "asked" is past tense. In the model "j \'ai demandé" is also past tense (passé composé)
Therefore, I believe all your verbs should be in the past tense. For example in #1 = Malika a demandé une pêche (note the accent circonflexe), mais il lui a donné une poire. (pear is feminine)
The model used the partitive (des/du) but #1 does not. #3 will.
Now that I have done #1 for you, please try #2, #3, #4 and I'll be back to check them. 2 things were wrong in your sentence. First of all the verb is in the past tense and then if I doesn't happen to be the subject, it can not be...il m'a donné.
I'll flag this and come back in a while to check it again.

Sorry, I just saw this.
#2 Sonyra a demandé....il lui a donné (required accent marks)
If you don't know how to make accent marks on the computer, I need to know 2 things. a) do you have a PC or Mac and b) do you have Windows or not.
#3 a demandé du pâté....il lui a donné
#4 a denabdé,,,,you forgot the verb in the 2nd half = il lui a donné des champignons. (If the noun is plural, use des)
