Well, as we have a hacker with us, my task has become much easier %)
So:
1. Сироты - well, the word itself is archaic, although we don'd have a modern synonym, so it is used but it's a rare word. A lot of people would say сИроты, afaik. A difficult task.
2. НачалИсь is the correct answer - you see, the stress on the last sillable in these forms of verbs is an old fashion, nowadays many people say нАчались (althouth I myself really like the correct form началИсь - and use it), besides, Russian is spoken not only in the European part of Russia itself (where exists the variant of the language taken as a literary norm - exists in live speech), but in many other regions and countries as a native language, so there are regional variations (which are _regional_ norms).
3. ТанцОвщица - well, as for me танцовщИца sounds really nicer.
5. Общин - well, if we recall the Russian phrase Палата Общин, I just can't imagine other stress. In this case and number.
7. нАискось - a really beautiful and rare old word) I doubd many native speakers use it correctly)
6. ВедомостЕй - I'm really shocked. It sounds even a bit wrong to me... a bit awkward.
