Exercice 1
"You and Daniel must be thrilled."

What does the term "thrilled" mean?
"You and Daniel must be thrilled."

What does the term "thrilled" mean?
This choice is incorrect. The term "scared" means to be "afraid" or "frightened". The terms "thrilled" and "scared" do not express a similar meaning.
This is a correct choice. To be "thrilled" is to experience a feeling of great pleasure or happiness. In the dialogue, when Bethany tells Donna that she is pregnant, Donna says "You and Daniel must be thrilled" meaning that she presumes Bethany and Daniel must be very happy.
This choice is incorrect. A "cautious" person has "reservations" or "doubts" about something. The terms "cautious" and "thrilled" do not express a similar meaning.
This choice is incorrect. A "surprised" person is "astonished" or "shocked" (by something) The terms "thrilled" and "surprised" do not express a similar meaning.
Exercice 2
"Don't be fooled by Bruno's email!"

This could be rewritten as:

"Don't be by Bruno's email!"
"Don't be fooled by Bruno's email!"

This could be rewritten as:

"Don't be deceived by Bruno's email!"
deceived : This is the best choice here. "To be fooled by (something)" means to be deceived or made to believe something that isn't true. For example: "the victim was fooled by the criminal's fake police uniform". Brian thinks Bruno isn't telling the truth in his "warning" email and therefore encourages his colleagues not to be deceived by Bruno's "false" statements.
worried : "To be worried" means to suffer from disturbing thoughts or anxieties. It is therefore not synonymous with "to be fooled by" and is not the best choice here.
deranged: "To be deranged" means to be troubled or insane. It is not synonymous with "to be fooled by". "To be deranged by something" doesn't really exist - it would be more natural to say "to be disturbed" by something.
surprised : "To be surprised" usually means to discover something suddenly and unexpectedly. It is therefore not synonymous with "to be fooled by" and is not the best choice here.
Exercice 3
Houston has the dubious distinction of being America's fattest city.

In this sentence, "dubious" could be replaced by "" without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Houston has the dubious distinction of being America's fattest city.

In this sentence, "dubious" could be replaced by "questionable" without changing the meaning of the sentence.
questionable: This is correct. "Dubious" means "doubtful" or "questionable". The journalist is not sure that the prize of "America's fattest city" should be described as a "distinction". Other examples: "I had the dubious honour of shaking President Boosh's hand", or "His story about finding the money was dubious at best".
surprising: This is not correct. The term "surprising" describes something "unexpected" or "slightly shocking". Example: "Jane made a surprising revelation to everyone after the wedding". This does not share a similar meaning with "dubious".
horrible: This is incorrect. "Horrible" is too strong a word to replace "dubious", which means "doubtful" or "questionable".
tragic: This is incorrect. "Tragic" is too strong a word to replace "dubious", which means "doubtful" or "questionable".
