1 to relax: This is the best choice here. Imagine getting home tonight and sitting back on your sofa. You'd feel relaxed right? That's why these two terms are synonymous! Now sit back and enjoy the rest of your feedback, you might just learn something!
1 to forget: This is not synonymous with to "sit back". To "forget" means to be unable to remember. For example "I didn't forget to send the cheque. It's in the post! I promise!".
1 to worry: Although people do worry about their home security, it is not the right definition here. Words that are synonymous with to "worry" include to be "concerned", "troubled" or "distracted".
2 to be intelligent: This is the correct choice! Other synonyms include "bright", "smart" and "clever". For example "She's a very wise woman, and lives her life with intelligence and grace."
2 to be courageous: This is not the right answer. To be courageous means to be "brave". For example, "The vaccination goes straight into the buttock. It doesn’t hurt! Try to be courageous!".
2 to be scared: This is incorrect. To be scared means to be "frightened", "afraid" or "terrified". For example, "I was so scared during that film, I spent half the time behind the sofa!"
3 however you feel is appropriate: This is the right definition! If you see something as being "fit", you see it as being "appropriate" or "suitable". Another example would be "Do the work as you see fit. It's up to you to prioritize your own workload.".
3 whatever you can afford : This is incorrect. To "afford" means to "be able to meet the expense of something" or to "have enough money to do something or buy something". An example of this would be "I can’t afford to have plastic surgery, so I’ll just have to stay ugly.".
3 as thoroughly as possible: "Thoroughly" means "completely" or "utterly" or "totally". It is not the correct definition for to "see fit". An example of its use: "I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and was so shocked to discover I'd eaten crocodile meat!".

Mick brings Bruno a boomerang from Australia.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very considerate.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very considerate.
considerate: Bruno tells Mick that bringing the boomerang with him is very "thoughtful". The word "thoughtful" means "considerate" in this context. We could also say that Mick's gesture is "nice" or "kind".
wise: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, we mean that the gesture is "kind" or considerate.
sage: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, "we mean that the gesture is 'kind" or considerate.
smart: Do not confuse "thoughtful" with "smart" or "intelligent". The terms have different meanings, especially in this context.

This is an unnatural choice of words. How could Jean express that Polly is 'gentle' or 'nice' in a more natural, English way?
The word 'gentle' means 'kind' or 'sweet'. It also can express a very 'soft' or 'delicate' action. As in 'She touched him gently on the arm'. In English, we say that someone is 'kind' or 'nice' when complimenting their generosity or friendliness, but we don't normally compliment a person by telling them they are 'gentle'. A 'kind' person is nice or friendly.
Jean is not complimenting Susie on the softness of her skin, but on her kindness. The skin is the outer layer of the body.
Jean is not complimenting Susie on her 'wisdom', but on her kindness. Wisdom is 'knowledge', 'common sense' or good judgment'.
Jean is not complimenting Susie on her intelligence, but on her kindness.
Jean is not complimenting Polly on her 'helpfulness', but on her kindness. Helpful shares a similar meaning with 'useful'.

Which animal from the list below is associated with being stubborn?
To be "stubborn" is to be "headstrong", unwilling to compromise, or inflexible. A stubborn person is close-minded, and refuses to consider other options than their own. This trait, or characteristic, is often associated with the mule, a small horse used as a work animal. Mules are known to be very stubborn, as they refuse to move and must be encouraged to move forward constantly. The idiom to be "stubborn as a mule" is common in English.
Fish are generally associated with being cold, drinking a lot and being "slippery" (wet and evasive). Fish are not associated with being "stubborn". Expressions about fish include: "to drink like a fish" (to drink a lot of alcohol), and "to be cold as a fish" (to be unfeeling and emotionless).
"An owl" is a regal, nocturnal bird with enormous eyes, pointed ears and a neck which can turn up to 180 degrees. The owl is associated with being "wise", meaning it is intelligent and compassionate. The idiom "wise as an owl" is a common one in English. The owl is not associated with being "stubborn".
A fox is generally associated with being sly, clever and cunning, terms which refer to the fox's intelligence and hunting tactics. To be as "sly as fox" is a common idiom indicating someone's intelligence. The fox is not associated with being "stubborn".
