See the blue line in the title ? This means that the language for the title
is different than the language of the document, namely your title has
'german' language.
To fix this, select all the text in the title, open the layout->character
dialog, select 'Reset' in the language field (and 'No change' in all other
fields) and press apply.

You shouldn't get this errors.
Did you change the 'Package' field in the lang-opts->language tab of the
preferences dialog ?
You should change it back to the default '\usepackage{babel}'

The problem is that the 1st and 3rd cells has invalid multi-column alignment
values. Press the 2nd mouse button on the 1st cell, goto the 'cell' tab,
and erase the contents of the 'Alignment' field, and do the same to the 3rd
cell.

\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt}

I've attached a fixed file.

PS: Why you use the itemize layout for the answer list ?
You should use something else (e.g. description).
