A:
Context only. Both can mean to endure, to continue, or to last; they're synonyms.
1. "You're washing my car? Well, you can keep going."
2. "You're washing my car? Well, you can carry on."
3. "You can keep going during hard times if you keep your faith strong."
4. "You can carry on during hard times if you keep your faith strong.
5. "You can keep going down this road until you meet the Interstate."
6. "You can carry on down this road until you meet the Interstate." (although, it's very rarely used this way anymore."
The only example I can think of where "carry on" has a different meaning is in terms of behavior.
7. "You can carry on as much as you like, but you're still grounded." (crying, temper tantrum, whining)
8. "You and your friends are always carrying on. Will you be quiet?" (carousing, being loud or rude, boisterous)
9. "She's carrying on something awful." This one will confuse anyone outside of the Southern US lol, but it means "She's being badly hysterical" or "She's having a hissy-fit" (so angry that she's hissing like a snake).
I hope I didn't confuse you with the behavior examples.

Q:
What is the difference between keep and kept and why does the speaker say 'I hope you kept the receipt' not 'I hope you keep the receipt' ?
A:
Most past tense verbs indicate an action that occurred and finished in the past.
(I hit the ball)
"Kept" is different because it still has a connection with the present (I started keeping it in the past and I am still keeping it in the present).
If the "kept" action ended in the past, you need to mention that because it changes the meaning.
"I kept the receipt for a while, but I threw it away yesterday."
"I kept the receipt for a while, but then I threw it away."
