With the appropriate terms used in the dialogue, describe the woman Philip is talking to!

1 Australian: "Australian" is the correct answer. In the dialogue, Philip says "are you Australian?" and the woman replies "I am", which confirms that she is indeed Australian. Australians come from Australia, which is a big country famous for kangaroos, koalas, and Kylie.
2 tall: "Tall" is the best choice here. A person's "height" refers to whether they are "tall" or "short". In the dialogue, Philip says "you're tall", meaning that the woman is not short! A useful question is "how tall are you?" to ask someone to tell you their height ("I am 6 foot 2", for example).
2 short: This is incorrect. "Short" people include children, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Tom Cruise. The woman in the dialogue is "tall", which is in fact the OPPOSITE of "short".
2 fat: This is incorrect. "Fat" people are "heavy" or "overweight". There is no suggestion in the dialogue that the woman in the dialogue is "fat". Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
2 thin: This is incorrect. "Thin" people are "slim", "skinny", or "light". The dialogue does not mention whether the woman is fat, thin, or average. Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
3 blonde: "Blonde" is the term we were looking for here. If you "are blonde" or "have blonde hair", then you have pale or yellow hair. Famous blondes include Marilyn Monroe and Luke Skywalker. Note that this term can also be written "blond", without the "e"!
3 red: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have red hair. People with red hair include Chuck Norris, Ronald McDonald, and me.
3 brown: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have brown hair. People with brown hair include Bruno Delavigne and Jennifer Lopez.
3 black: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have black hair. People with black hair include Demi Moore and Jackie Chan.
4 gorgeous: "Gorgeous" is the right answer. If someone is "gorgeous", they are very attractive, "handsome", or "beautiful". We can also describe inanimate objects as "gorgeous". Here's an example: "Your apartment is gorgeous. I wish I lived here!".
