1 paperwork: This is the correct answer. "Paperwork" is the administrative papers that we all have to deal with from time to time. We sign them in business deals, at the bank, in contracts for work, when paying bills... all the time! Bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy!
2 contribute: This means to "give", "add to" or "pay towards". Another example of this is: "I'll contribute just $2 towards the manager's leaving gift. I never really liked him."
3 grows: Correct answer! To "grow" means to "increase", to "expand" or to "rise". For example: "My salary has grown by 1.25% annually since 1983. It's far below the rate of inflation. I'm fed up!"
4 matches: Good! In this context to "match" means to also make an equal or part contribution to something. Another example of this: "If you stop smoking, I'll match your efforts and I'll stop drinking Cola Coca. I've been addicted for years."
5 retire: Correct answer. To "retire" in this situation means to stop work in old age. In most of Europe and North America, people usually retire around the age of 65.

1 of the right size: This is the best choice here. In this context, shoes "which fit" are shoes which are the "right size". Example: "I love my new dress but I need to lose weight before it will fit me". This usage is different from that heard in the conversation.
1 made of leather: This is incorrect. "Leather" is a material made from animal skin, which is often used to make shoes, coats, bags, belts and sofas. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "to fit".
1 which match: This is incorrect. "(Shoes) which match" are shoes which share the same colour or design, or complement each other. Example: "I refuse to waste my time looking for matching socks in the morning. Today one of my socks is blue, and the other is yellow".
1 designed for sport: This is incorrect. In another context, the adjective "fit" can be used to describe a person who is in good physical form, but it is unrelated to the context of this question. Sports shoes or "trainers" are worn by those who practise sport.
2 capable of raising: This is the best choice here. In this context, the term "fit" is used to mean "capable", "competent" or "able". This is the same usage as in the conversation, when Bruno quotes Sigourney's article: "Bruno Delavigne is hardly fit to run a company".
2 sentenced to raise: This is incorrect. In legal terms, the verb "to sentence" means to "decide" or "determine" a punishment for a guilty party. This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 willing to raise: This is incorrect. The expression "to be willing (to do something)" shares a similar meaning with "consenting", "agreeing", or being "prepared" to do something. Example: "I'm willing to share my sweets with you, if you'll agree to give me some of your orange juice". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 scared of raising: This is incorrect. The term "scared" shares a similar meaning with "frightened" or "afraid". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
3 healthy: This is the best choice here. As an adjective, "fit" means "in good physical shape" or "healthy". Example: "I've decided to eat better and get fit!". This is a different usage from that in the conversation.
3 some fresh air: This is incorrect. We say that we need "some fresh air" when we are feeling too hot, tired, or if there is a bad smell. To "get some fresh air" is a form of refreshment: it is revitalising. This may be true of jogging, but the term "fresh air" is unrelated to the term "fit".
3 thinner: This is incorrect. The term "thinner" is the comparative form of "thin". It means "less fat" or "more skinny" or "more slender". This is not the same meaning as the term "fit". Although "getting fit" may involve losing weight or becoming "thinner", this is not an accurate definition of the term "fit".
3 hungry: This is incorrect. To "get hungry" is to "feel the desire to eat". Example: "I get very hungry if I don't eat for two hours". This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "fit".
