1 forecast: A "forecast" is a prediction. The term is often used in the context of weather reports and meteorology, however the term can also be used in other contexts, notably financial ones. Example: The sales forecast for the next two quarters is promising. As a verb, "to forecast" is to predict.
2 highs: As a noun, "highs" are the upper, maximum range, or the "peak" of something (such as temperatures). Example: We had highs in the 90's all summer long. The terms "highs" and "lows" are commonly used to express the maximum and minimum temperatures (throughout the day, week, etc.).
3 sunshine: "Sunshine" refers to the light emitted by that wonderful star, the sun. If the weatherman has predicted "sunshine" it makes sense that Horatio would bring sunglasses and a towel to the beach.
4 wind: "Wind" is moving air. "Flying a kite" and "sailing" are two activities which require wind (to propel the kite and boat).

This is an incorrect choice. A "kite" is a light object attached to a long string or cord (held by a person) which flies through the sky. Although someone controls the movement of a kite, one cannot climb on top of it, and therefore one cannot "ride" it. The verb used to describe using a kite is "to fly", as in the sentence: Jean enjoys "flying kites".
This is an incorrect choice. One doesn't "ride" a car, one "drives" it, or rides IN it. The verb "to ride" is generally reserved with vehicles or animals which can be mounted (a horse, a bicycle, even an elephant), and controlled by a person on top of it.
This is a correct choice. The verb "to ride" means to sit on top of something (generally a vehicle or animal) and control its movement. A bike (or bicycle) is one vehicle which can be "ridden". You use the "handlebars" to steer the wheels, "breaks" to stop and "pedals" to make the wheels turn round. Note that not every vehicle or animal can be "ridden"!
This is a correct choice. The verb "to ride" means to sit on top of something (generally a vehicle or animal) and control its movement. A motorcycle is one vehicle which can be "ridden".
This is an incorrect choice. Although one sits on a chair, it does not move so one cannot "ride" it.
