Since plunder can be used as both a noun and a verb, you should really specify which you want. If it is "to plunder" then the answer should be "to loot" if you want the noun, both "loot" and "booty" should be acceptable.
... but it's easy to assume it could be a verb OR a noun and just try either option. Also why should 'booty' be accepted if that's not the single answer the quiz is looking for?
Not loving your monsoon definition, as it doesn't mention precipitation. Also, the loot-booty clue is a serious oversight. Both should certainly be acceptable.
Snow is a collection of snowflakes, which is still easily divisible. Ice is a single, solid piece of frozen water. You can shovel and shape snow with your hands. You need a chainsaw or an ice pick to sculpt ice.
I'm ashamed of myself so I'll hang my head while typing the nit I'm about to pick:
A person who borrows without repaying is a moocher. The act of borrowing without repaying is to mooch.
There, now I'll smack myself in the back of the head for being so nit-picky. I mean if you start to type 'moocher' the quiz accepts your answer when you get to the 'h' so there's really no harm.
You know, I'm pretty sure the word hooligan existed before soccer, so I don't get what it has to do with soccer. If you had used the definition I know of, I would have gotten it. dictionary.com: "a ruffian or hoodlum."
Couldn't think of 'Mooch' ........ I thought mooch was to lurch around somewhat not borrow money ...... My mother used to say "Stop mooching around and go out and play"
That is the only way I have ever heard it. A football hooligan nothing more and nothing less. There are plenty of words allready in existence for troublemakers in general.
But I guess since there is more than one person having trouble with the word, there are international differences of the use of the word.
Mooching, to me, is synonymous with leeching off of others or taking continued advantage of someone's generosity. ie: To take without paying --- which is different than borrowing with an expectation of being paid back.
I would have gotten monsoon if it said something about heavy rainfall.

Mooch is entirely different in the UK, Caboose is obscure, and Loofah and Hookey don't exist at all.
