1 tasty: This is the correct answer. The term 'tasty' refers to something that is delicious, or 'tastes good'. In the broadcast, Brent says 'Today we have a tasty little treat for you'. A 'treat' is something special that is given by way of reward or celebration. Brent is telling the Radio Rhubarb listeners that today's broadcast will be special and that Belinda's presence on today's show is a 'tasty treat', or special surprise for them. He doesn't literally mean that she tastes good! Although Belinda would probably go well with some fava beans (or broad beans) and a nice chianti.
2 trash: This is the correct choice. In American English, the term 'trash' refers to 'waste' or 'rubbish' in general. The term 'trash' is also used to refer to something of bad quality. In the broadcast, the correspondent says 'most of the major releases are absolute trash'. She means that the majority of major films at the cinema are of very bad quality.
3 harsh: This is the correct choice. The term 'harsh' refers to something that is severe, cruel or unpleasant. It can refer to how a person is treated, the taste of a food, a person's words or actions, etc. In this broadcast, Belinda tells Brent that 'one is never too young to learn the harsh realities of life'. She means that it is never too early for a child to learn about the cruel, severe and difficult aspects of life.
