1 thoughtful: "Thoughtful" is a synonym for "considerate". It means "sympathetic", "generous" or "attentive".
2 perplexing: "Perplexing" is a synonym for "strange". It means "bizarre" or "difficult to understand".
3 incident: An "incident" is a synonym for an "event". "An incident" refers to an event, action or occurrence (usually one with negative consequences).
4 collision: A "collision" is a type of "crash". A collision implies that two vehicles or objects have struck or "collided" with each other. A crash conveys the same meaning, though it can be used in many other contexts as well.

"It's quite thoughtful of you to ask".
Choose the best synonym for the word thoughtful, as Mayor Flimshaw uses the term in the dialogue.
Here the mayor is telling Susie that it is kind of her to propose the services of the Delavigne Corp. "Thoughtful" means "considerate" or "kind" in this context. It's true that in another context, "thoughtful" can reflect something "thought provoking" or "intelligent", however here the mayor is referring to Susie's "generosity" or "kindness" in offering Delavigne's services to the city of San Francisco.
"Provocative" is not a synonym for "thoughtful" in this context.
"Interesting" is not a synonym for "thoughtful" in this context. The mayor remarks that Susie is "thoughtful" to offer Delavigne's services to help the mayor and the city. He is not expressing that she, or her offer, is "interesting", but rather that she is kind or generous to offer. It's true that in another context a "thoughtful observation" may be an intelligent one, however telling someone that it is "thoughtful to ask" is not an indication of their intelligence, but of their consideration or kindness.
"Clever" is not a synonym for "thoughtful". A "clever person" is intelligent, smart or resourceful. In this context, "thoughtful" doesn't share a similar meaning with "clever".

Mick brings Bruno a boomerang from Australia.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very considerate.
considerate: Bruno tells Mick that bringing the boomerang with him is very "thoughtful". The word "thoughtful" means "considerate" in this context. We could also say that Mick's gesture is "nice" or "kind".
wise: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, we mean that the gesture is "kind" or considerate.
sage: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, "we mean that the gesture is 'kind" or considerate.
smart: Do not confuse "thoughtful" with "smart" or "intelligent". The terms have different meanings, especially in this context.

1 suit: As a noun, "a suit" describes a set of clothing consisting of pants (or trousers), a jacket and sometimes a vest (or waistcoat). In this conversation, Brian informs Bruno that he has brought his suit back from the "dry cleaners". A dry cleaner is the place where a suit is washed, pressed and ironed professionally, without water. Note that "suit" is also a legal term which describes a legal process.
2 proofread: To "proofread (a document)" is to read it over, looking for errors and mistakes, then marking or correcting them. Official documents, content for Websites, newspaper articles and most texts which are published for an audience are generally proofread several times by different readers and copy editors. In this conversation, Brian tells Bruno that he has "proofread" the content for the Delavigne Website and sent his changes to both Bruno and Susie. The verb "to proofread" is irregular: proofread/proofread/proofread.
3 thoughtful: The word "thoughtful" means "considerate" in this context. After Brian tells Bruno about the various tasks he has completed before coming (bringing reports, asking Philip to stop by, bringing Bruno's suit back), Bruno tells Brian that his actions are very thoughtful. We could also say that Brian's efforts were "nice" or "kind".
