Exercice 1
According to Susie, TigerLily will .
According to Susie, TigerLily will delight women with high standards.
delight women with high standards: This is the best choice here. Susie says that TigerLily is "sure to please women of the most discerning tastes". This means that TigerLily has a superior quality which will appeal to women who are very refined and demanding of the products which they purchase.
please women with sophisticated palates: The palate is the part of the mouth which controls the human sense of taste. To have a "sophisticated palate" indicates that someone has a refined sense of taste. However this applies only to food. As Susie is referring to perfumes, this choice is incorrect.
appease women of high social standing : Women of "high social standing" are elite or wealthy women. They are not necessarily women of "discerning taste".
appeal to women of many ethnic backgrounds: Susie never mentions that women of diverse origins will enjoy TigerLily.

1 weigh: "Weigh" is the best choice here. To "weigh" something is to see how heavy or light it is, usually with the help of scales. Note that there is a related noun: "weight". Example: "People who weigh themselves every day notice when they have gained weight".
2 spices: "Spices" is the right answer. Spices often come in powder form, and are useful in creating interesting meals. Common spices include cumin, cinnamon, paprika, cloves, and cayenne pepper. When we have added a lot of spices such as ground chili peppers to a dish, we call it "spicy" or "hot". Example: "Nutmeg is my favourite spice".
3 discerning: "Discerning" is the best answer here. In the dialogue, the shop assistant describes Jean as "a discerning shopper". This means that he knows what he wants, and can tell what products are of a high quality: his is a good judge. Another example: "I can tell you are a very discerning customer".
