1 Absolutely!: This is correct. "Absolutely" is an emphatic way of agreeing with someone. Example: -Do you agree with me? -Absolutely!
1 I agree up to a point: This isn't the best choice here!
1 I'm not so sure about that: This isn't the best choice here!
1 I'm afraid I can't agree: This isn't the best choice here!
1 I strongly disagree: This isn't the best choice here!
2 I agree up to a point: This is correct. If you agree with someone "up to a point", you partially agree: you agree with some things, but maybe disagree with others. Example: -I think we should stop selling perfumes and sell soup instead. -I agree with you up to a point, but we should sell something related to cosmetics, like condoms.
2 Absolutely!: This doesn't belong here, sorry!
2 I'm not so sure about that: This doesn't belong here, sorry!
2 I'm afraid I can't agree: This doesn't belong here, sorry!
2 I strongly disagree: This doesn't belong here, sorry!
3 I'm not so sure about that: This is correct. This phrase disagrees, but in a more tentative, hesitant manner than the other expressions. Example: -I think doing this lesson about the language of meetings is the most fun I have ever had. -I'm not so sure about that.
3 I agree up to a point: Not here! What were you thinking?
3 Absolutely!: Not here! What were you thinking?
3 I'm afraid I can't agree: Not here! What were you thinking? "I'm not so sure about that" is not as strong as "I'm afraid I can't agree".
3 I strongly disagree: Not here! What were you thinking?
4 I'm afraid I can't agree: This is correct. This phrase clearly disagrees, but the "I'm afraid" makes it less direct, hence more polite, because it prepares the interlocutor for bad news!
4 I agree up to a point: This isn't the best choice here!
4 I'm not so sure about that: Sorry, "I'm not so sure about that" is not as strong as "I'm afraid I can't agree".
4 Absolutely!: This isn't the best choice here!
4 I strongly disagree: This isn't the best choice here!
5 I strongly disagree: This is correct. "I strongly disagree" is a very strong way of disagreeing! Don't you agree?
5 I agree up to a point: Oops! I strongly disagree with your answer!
5 I'm not so sure about that: Oops! I strongly disagree with your answer!
5 I'm afraid I can't agree: Oops! I strongly disagree with your answer!
5 Absolutely!: Oops! I strongly disagree with your answer!
