Choosing wrong sentences!

Please check whether the following sentences are right.

[1] She must be burning up in this heat.
[2] She must be burning up in heat like this.
[3] She must be burning up in heat this time.
[4] The shipment this time must be delayed.
[5] A shipment this time must be delayed.
[6] Shipment this time must be delayed.

I think [5] and [6] are wrong sentences.

Thank you for your teaching.

Is [6]Shipment this time, even though there is no "article" in front of "shipment" correct? but do I have to put "the" before "heat" in the [3]? Thank you so much for your teaching,Mr.Micawber
