There is an engine generator fault.

Correct! Wrong!

The EMER GEN is powered by a hydraulic system pressurized by an engine driven hydraulic pump. Pressing the LAND RECOVERY p/b switch will:

Operate when the gear is extended.

Supply the landing gear.

Normally recover the AC and DC LAND RECOVERY BUSES and the components for approach and landing.

Correct! Wrong!

According to this ECAM ELEC DC page:

The Static Inverter is being powered because TR 1 is not powered.

The BAT 2 is discharging at a rate of 4 A.

There is no degradation in the capability of DC system.

Correct! Wrong!

The TR 2 is faulty, then the DC 2 BUS is unpowered.

The TR 2 pb is set to OFF

Correct! Wrong!

With APU GEN and external powers supplying the network:

APU supplies AC 1-1 and AC 1-2 only.

APU supplies AC ESS only.

APU is supplying left side, external power A is supplying the right side.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

It is not recommended to push the MAN ON p/b to confirm EMER ELEC CONFIG on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

Red fault light on EMER ELEC PWR Panel will remain on until the EMER GEN reaches its normal output.

The MAN ON p/b must be pushed to extinguish red fault light on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.
