Although the subject of this dialogue is money, Sam is not referring to money when he makes this statement, but rather he is saying that he has gotten heavier since he last met with Bruno. "To earn money" is to make money, or acquire it (by working).

Although the subject of this dialogue is money, Sam is not referring to money when he makes this statement, but rather he is saying that he has gotten heavier since he last met with Bruno. A "wealthy" person is rich, or has money.
The idiom Sam uses, "I suppose I have put on a few pounds" is a common one (in both British and American English) which means "I suppose I have gained weight", or gotten heavier. Sam uses the expression "We've all got to eat", meaning that everybody needs to earn money to put food on the table. Bruno then makes a play on words by saying "it looks like you're eating quite well", which is both a reference to Sam's corpulence as well as his wealth. Finally Sam admits that he has "put on a few pounds".

Choose the phrase from the list below which might replace Trey's expression "I'll lose some weight".
Choose the phrase from the list below which might replace Trey's expression "I'll lose some weight".
A "diet" is a carefully selected range of foods that an individual eats for medical reasons or weight loss. The term "weight" refers to how heavy something or someone is. When Trey says "I'll lose some weight" he is referring to his own "weight". He says this because he wants to fit into the medium sized T-shirt which Bruno has offered him.
Trey's expression "I'll lose weight" refers to his intention to "go on a diet" in order to fit into the t-shirt Bruno is offering him. This statement couldn't be replaced by "that doesn't bother me", which means "I don't mind".
Trey isn't saying that he doesn't want the T-shirt Bruno is offering him, which is what "forget about it" would express in this context. Trey is promising to become slimmer, or to lose weight so that he can fit into the shirt.
Trey is not promising "to do better" or "improve". He is actually referring to going on a diet so that he can fit into the medium T-shirt which Bruno offers him.

This statement is false. Donna tells Bethany that it looks like she has "lost weight". The expression to "lose weight" describes becoming lighter or thinner, usually as the result of diet or exercise. If Bethany has "lost weight", then she has become "thinner" not "heavier". Donna does not say that Bethany looks heavier.
This is a true statement. When Donna asks if Bethany thinks she will win her court case, Bethany replies "have I ever lost a case before?", a rhetorical question which indicates that Bethany is confident she will win her current court case (and that she has never lost a case so far). Furthermore, Donna then says "good point", confirming that Bethany has had good success in the past and that she will likely win her current case.
This statement is false. On the contrary, Bethany says that her diet is "brilliant", indicating that it is indeed effective.
This statement is true. This dialogue concludes with Bethany telling Donna that she "will tell (her) a story". We can assume that Bethany has something on her mind besides pleasant chit-chat with her friend Donna.

According to the report mentioned in this article:
According to the report mentioned in this article:
This is not correct. The report says that weight gain is "steady from coast to coast, from California to New York", and the report was carried out in "all 50 states". In this context, "steady" means there are no significant variations. "Steady" growth is "certain" or "continuous". For example: "There has been a steady increase in the number of cars on the road in Britain".
This is not correct. The report says that "naive idealists and conservatives" believe that obesity is becoming less of a problem, but that this is not true.
This is not correct. At first, scientists thought that the result was an anomaly or a mistake. However, more tests confirmed that the data was correct. To "gather (data)" is to accumulate or find information.
This is correct. If something increases at an "exponential rate", it grows extremely quickly. The term "weight gain" describes the increase in size or heaviness of a person: they are getting fatter. Example: "Rapid weight gain is a good thing during pregnancy, but women should lose some weight when the baby is born".
