回答
5 の答えは kitchen の後の and を除くでいいですが、この内容が納得できません。台所に洗濯機と乾燥機があるとは、一体どこの国でしょうか。少なくともアメリカでは考えられません。
台所で電力を消費するのは、トースターより冷蔵庫だと思いますし、a video (VCR) というのも20年前ならまだしも、今は streaming device じゃないですか。
文を直しておきます。
It's likely that your living room will have a television set and a streaming device, your laundry room a washing machine and tumble drier, and maybe your kitchen a microwave oven and electric toaster.
原文を探して調べてみましたが、やはり「台所には洗濯機と乾燥機、それに多分電子レンジとトースターがある」という内容ですね:
As you move around your home take a good hard look at its contents. It's likely that your living room will have a television set and a DVD player, and your kitchen a washing machine and tumble drier, maybe also a microwave oven and electric toaster.
