Select the correct usages of "to brighten up" in the following sentences.

We would not say this in English. The most similar thing we could say is "I need to sharpen up my knowledge of politics", which would refer to improving one's knowledge and/or making it more up-to-date.

This carpet really brightens up the living room, pink is the funkiest colour.

This is a correct usage of the term and similar to how Hannah uses it in the dialogue. To "brighten up (a room)" is to make it a more cheerful, happier place, perhaps by using flowers or adding sunlight or bright colours. Hannah wants the offices to be "brightened up" because she thinks that the place feels "grey".

It was cloudy and grey this morning, but it looks like it will brighten up later this afternoon.

Correct. "To brighten" up is to "make lighter", especially with sunshine. If an afternoon "brightens up", it means that there is more sunshine than before. This phrasal verb is more colloquial then the simple verb "to brighten".

Listening to Bruno every day has brightened up my life, I was so depressed before.

Right answer. "To brighten up one's life" is to make one's life more beautiful, to illuminate it, to give "sun" to one's life. Example: I was so unhappy and alone, then I met Leo and my life brightened up considerably.
