Here are the reasons why I failed.
My questions are, do I need to provide the user with the ability to use touch, if my app is solely for Windows 8 Desktop?
Also, do I need to provide a way for a user to pause or play audio even if my app has no type of audio?
Do I need to incorporate play and resume features into my app?

Questions to consider:
Does your app require a user account? If so, you need to include a test account in the Notes to Testers field.
Can users make purchases through the app? If so, you need to provide a way to test those purchases.
Commons reasons why apps fail this requirement:
The app includes non-functional sections or contains placeholders (labeled "coming soon", "more to come", "not available yet" and so on) for primary user scenarios.
The app doesn't work on all the architectures that it claims to support.
For example, if you state that your app works on any CPU, it must work on all architectures, including ARM.
The app description is misleading or vague.
The app description uses screenshots or statements that imply features that don't appear to be implemented.
The app doesn't respond to "play" and "pause" keyboard events to allow users to control audio playback.
The app description doesn't explicitly state any hardware or network requirements.

Commons reasons why apps fail this requirement:
The content of the app (including ads) is not suitable for the chosen age rating.
You claimed a rating from a Ratings Board in a game definition file but you did not provide a proof of that rating.
You listed the app as either 3+ or 7+ and it provides the user with uncontrolled access to online social networks or uncontrolled sharing of personal info with third parties, including other gamers or online acquaintances.
For such activity to be considered "controlled", your app must include parental control features that require parental permission to use such sharing features, and you must identify those and explain their functionality in the Notes to testers.
One of the distribution markets you chose requires a rating from a
Rating board but you did not provide one.
