This is an incorrect choice. Brent says that Sweden is best known for its "outstanding ice hockey players" not its ice cream.
This is a correct answer. Brent says that Sweden is "best known for its delicious meatballs, outstanding ice hockey players and the 70's pop quintet ABBA". I always thought there were four members of ABBA, but perhaps Brent knows something I don't!
This is an incorrect choice. Brent does not mention a "strong army" in the dialogue. Brent does mention that Sweden is a "powerhouse", but without any context, we cannot assume that he is referring to Sweden's military capabilities. A "powerhouse" can refer to anything powerful.
This is an incorrect choice, although Sweden is generally known for its mobile phone technology, Brent never talks about this in the dialogue.
This is a correct choice. Brent describes Sweden as a "country best known for its delicious meatballs". Meatballs are round balls of lamb, pork, or beef seasoned and cooked with a sauce. "Swedish meatballs" are well known throughout the world.
This is an incorrect choice. Despite the fact that Sweden is well known for its international low-price furniture stores, Brent never talks about this in the broadcast.
