Let's go though the choices.

Major axis will get shorter.  TRUE, CHECK ME

As the plane moves closer to the vertex the ellipse stays the same shape but shrinks.

Ellipse will become a circle.  FALSE

As long as the plane is tilted, the ellipse can't be a circle.

Ellipse will degenerate to a point.  TRUE, CHECK ME

Eventually the plane gets to the vertex, at which point (ha!) we have a single point.

Nappes?  Is that a word?   FALSE

The plane needs a steeper angle, steeper than the generators, before it can pass through both halves.

The generators are the lines through the vertex that form the cone.  The plane isn't steep enough to hold any of them. FALSE
