Thank you for your comments! It seems to me that even native speakers do not always agree on the usage of English. For example the first question was a modified version from an exercise book:
During winter the shelters are full of people of no fixed....
A.residence B. abode C.home D.domicile
I think the phrase required here is a fixed phrase, i.e. an idiom
During winter the shelters are full of people of no fixed....
A.residence B. abode C.home D.domicile

Just let me make it clear: 'abode' of the phrase 'no fixed abode' is the best answer; it is just not the only possible one-- bright students could argue for any of the others without your being able to supply any rebuttal except " 'abode' is the usual".
