In English, the term "fix" has several different meanings.
From the list below, choose all the CORRECT uses of the term "fix".

The interest rates of our loans are fixed at 3.5%, darling.

"A fixed interest rate" is a "set" or "established" interest rate, which doesn't fluctuate. An "interest rate" is the cost of interest (generally a percentage) on borrowed or loaned money.

Darling, could you fix some dinner for the children?

"To fix some dinner" is a common expression meaning "to prepare some dinner". Note that we can also say "to fix a meal", "to fix some breakfast" or even "to fix a drink", as Sam says in the dialogue. "To fix" in this sense means "to prepare".

Darling, can you help me fix this broken television?

In English, one of the primary uses of the verb "to fix" is the sense of "repairing" or "putting together" something which is broken or not functioning.

Darling, I was having doubts before, but now I'm fixed that I love you.

In English, the verb "to fix" doesn't indicate certainty or assuredness, and can't be used in this construction. A better choice here would be "now I'm sure".
