Hints for this Quiz

Think: zero motivation.
„Null Bock“ = absolutely no desire/not in the mood at all.
Formal vs. slang.
„Lust haben“ is neutral and fits formal contexts. „Bock haben“ is casual slang; not for formal emails.
„auf“ takes accusative.
„auf + Akkusativ“; „Film“ (masc.) → „den Film“.
er/sie/es → hat.
3rd person singular of „haben“ is „er hat“.
Watch article endings and verb use.
Colloquial but correct: „Ich hab total Bock!“ Others are ungrammatical („keine Lust“, not „kein“; „bin Lust“ is wrong; „Ich null Bock“ needs a verb).
Focus on meaning, not register.
„Lust haben auf…“ ≈ „Bock haben auf…“ (both mean being in the mood for something).
Set phrase meaning zero desire.
Fixed colloquial phrase: „null Bock“. Note: „keinen Bock“ is also correct, but the blank asks for the set phrase with „null“.
Same pattern as „Lust auf …“.
Idiomatic pattern is „Bock auf + Akkusativ“ (also „Lust auf + Akkusativ“).
