Exercise 1
"Clients like Steffi are once in a lifetime, Quincy."

Something that is "once in a lifetime" is:

"Clients like Steffi are once in a lifetime, Quincy."

Something that is "once in a lifetime" is:
This is the correct answer. Something that is "once in a lifetime" describes something "special" or "unique" that happens extremely rarely. Example: Jean Marron went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to space. In the dialogue, Philip thinks that Steffi is a very special client because she has alerted him to a missing invoice.
This is incorrect. "Once in a lifetime" refers to something that happens very rarely, which is the opposite of being common.
This is incorrect. Something that is "once in a lifetime" has nothing to do with price.
This is incorrect. Something that is "once in a lifetime" has nothing to do with being "deadly". A "deadly (animal)" is one which is very dangerous.
