1 classy: This is the correct choice. Mrs Lee calls the Delavigne logo "very classy". Something "classy" is "elegant" or "stylish". Example: "My girlfriend took me out to dinner at a classy restaurant last night".
1 tasty: This is not the most suitable choice. "Tasty" is usually used in the context of food, not places. To imply "elegance (in clothes)" we usually use the adjective "tasteful".
1 competitive: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "competitive" does not fit here. A "competitive (price)" is one which compares well to commercial rivals.
1 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking, it is rarely used to describe places.
2 competitive: This is the correct choice. A "competitive (price)" is one which is sufficiently low to be successful against commercial rivals. Mrs Lee writes, "You'll notice that our prices are very competitive."
2 tasty: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "tasty" does not fit here. "Tasty" is usually used in the context of food to describe something which is agreeable.
2 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking. A "handsome (price)" describes an amount of money that is agreeable in some way.
2 classy: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "classy" does not fit here. A "classy (suit)" is one which is elegant or tasteful.
3 tasty: This is the correct choice. A "tasty (meal)" is one with a very nice flavour, or a "delicious" meal. Example: I had a tasty breakfast today: baked beans on toast! Mrs Lee says that the "clams" (a type of mollusk) served in the restaurant are "tasty".
3 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" does not fit here. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking.

1 beautiful: The adjective 'gorgeous' generally indicates the beauty of an object or person. Someone who is 'beautiful' is very attractive, or has a perfect appearance. In this chat, Donna writes that Brian Jones is 'gorgeous'. Note that attractive men can also be called 'handsome'.
1 smart: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe intelligence, but beauty; the only thing that matters. That's a joke. One day I'm sure I'll meet a woman who doesn't care about my Quasimodo-like looks and appreciates my wit and charm.
1 polite: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe a 'polite' or 'well-mannered' person.
1 tall: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe a 'tall' or 'physically big' person.
2 He's got a very attractive personality: The expression '(to charm) the pants off (somebody)' is used to intensify such verbs as 'charm', 'bore', 'scare', 'talk', etcetera. When Donna writes that Brian could 'charm the pants off a donkey', she means that Brian is SO charming, and has SUCH an attractive personality, that he would be able to seduce even a donkey. Note that this expression is not exclusively used with 'a donkey', it is just an example which demonstrates just how powerful Brian's charms are. Other examples: 'That lecture bored the pants off me', 'That film scared the pants off me'. 'Pants' are 'trousers' in the US, and 'underwear' in the UK.
2 He'd look good without pants on: This idiom doesn't express that Brian is physically attractive, but rather that he is very charming.
2 He physically resembles a donkey: This idiom doesn't express that Brian resembles a donkey, but rather that he is very charming.
2 He's as handsome as a horse: This idiom doesn't express that Brian is physically attractive, but rather that he is very charming. 'Handsome' is a term which describes great beauty, used mainly for men (and occasionally animals).
3 He'd make a good boyfriend or husband: The expression 'he's a catch' indicates that a man would make a good boyfriend or husband. The expression uses a fishing analogy, comparing a man or woman to a fish which can be caught by a person. When Susie writes that Brian is 'a catch', she means that he would make a good boyfriend or husband, or that any woman who 'catches' him would be lucky!
3 He must be dating somebody already: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes that Brian is already in a relationship.
3 I'd like to see him wrestling naked: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she wants to see Brian 'wrestling' in the nude, although she might like this anyway.
3 He's probably gay: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes that Brian is gay.
3 He must be good at sports: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes Brian is good at athletics.
