移動するってMoving or Transferring?

From Twitter:

Choose.

David Hernandez (1.) __ Japan and liked it, so the next year he resigned from his job in New York and (2.) __ to Tokyo, where he got a job at a company. After a year, he was (3.) __ to Osaka and loves it.

a. moved
b. transferred
c. moved house
d. moving house
e. transfer
f. visited

Answers and Explanation
(1.) f. visited; with no preposition (t0), this is really the only option for #1.
(2.) a. moved; move means to change living locations.
(3.) b. transferred; transferred (the past of transfer) means to “be switched” (by a company or a boss) to a new work location. The presence of was shows this transfer was done by others–meaning David Hernandez didn’t do it by choice, so after the linking verb ‘was’ we need the past tense of transfer–transferred.
