What is this "over" supposed to mean here? Where else can I use it?

Can the word "rent" be used as a verb?
I don't think I've ever seen "rent" used as a verb before. Would it sound natural if I say "Do you own a house or are you renting?"
How would you read/say '$5.09'?

Why is the answer A?
I understand why the answer can absolutely never be C, but it being A doesn't sit right with me.
Is this normal expression people use?

“It was quarter of eight.” - said David Foster Wallace. Does that mean 8:15 or 7:15?

Can someone settle an argument I'm having?
Hi, I'm in a bit of an argument with another Redditor, and I would like some objective third party opinion about a piece of English. Bill is talking to his friend, John, and says "I would get lunch with you, but my doctor's appointment is in 10 minutes." Does this mean Bill is going to get lunch with John or not? EDIT: Apparently I used an incorrect example. They said the better example would be Bill saying to John "I would call that a comedy, if it wasn't so depressing." They claim the "but" is fundamentally changing the meaning of the phrase.
