2 "are you serious?": Frank is expressing his surprise and "disbelief" that Polly wants a cab sent to Conklin and so he asks her "are you kidding?". "To kid with someone" means to joke with someone. Frank cannot believe that Polly is serious about going to Conklin, and so he asks her "are you kidding?"
2 "are you deaf?": Frank is not asking Polly if she is "deaf", however this expression can be used in aggressive arguments, for example: I told you to clean your room five times already! Are you deaf? A "deaf" person is unable to hear.

2 "are you free tonight?": Frank is not asking Polly for a date, but rather if she is sincere in her request to send a cab to Conklin Avenue.

1 bank balance: "Bank balance" is the right answer here. One's "bank balance" is the amount of money one has in a bank account. The phrase can be used figuratively to describe someone's financial situation. Example: "Finding a new job as a night watchman has helped my bank balance".
2 lack: "Lack" is the best choice to complete this sentence. If there is "a lack of (information)", it means there is a "deficiency" of information, or not enough information. Note that there is a related verb: "to lack", which means that you do not have something you need. Example: "The third world lacks food, while the rich are getting fatter. A lack of fair food distribution is part of the problem".
3 worst: "Worst" is the correct answer here. "Worst" is the superlative of "bad": bad/worse/worst. An example: "Hannah is a bad singer, Wendy is worse, but Helen is the worst singer in the world!".

The Delavigne Corporation is slightly than Kalvin Krime.

1 taller: 'Taller' is the comparative form of the adjective 'tall'. Short adjectives (of one or two syllables) generally take 'er' in the comparative form.
2 worse: 'Worse' is the comparative form of the adjective 'bad'. It is an irregular adjective bad/worse/worst.
3 smaller: 'Smaller' is the comparative form of the adjective 'small'. To create the comparative form of short adjectives (of one or two syllables), we generally add 'er' to the end of the term.
4 better: 'Better' is the comparative form of 'good'. 'Good' is irregular in its comparative and superlative forms. Good / Better / Best
5 less expensive: 'Expensive' is a long (polysyllabic) adjective, so it requires 'more' or 'less' in the comparative form. 'Less expensive' and 'more expensive' are both acceptable answers here.

Complete the following sentences with even followed by a comparative.
Example:
A tea would be good, but a coffee would be even better.
Last year, I thought I was happy, but since I met Icarus, I’m even happier 1.
Brian’s first home-recorded film was bad, and his second film was even worse 2.
My son was excited on Christmas morning. When I gave him a new bike, he was even more excited 3.
Example:
A tea would be good, but a coffee would be even better.
Last year, I thought I was happy, but since I met Icarus, I’m even happier 1.
Brian’s first home-recorded film was bad, and his second film was even worse 2.
My son was excited on Christmas morning. When I gave him a new bike, he was even more excited 3.
1 even happier: The speaker was "even happier": this is an emphatic way of saying that they became happier even though they were already happy before. To write the comparative form of most two-syllable adjectives ending in "-y", we remove the "-y" and add "-ier". Another example: "The first episode of that show was silly, but the second was even sillier".
2 even worse: "Even worse" means "worse than something which is (already) bad". Brian's first film was bad, and his second was worse than the first one: in a situation like this, we generally add "even" before the comparative word, because it sounds more natural. The comparative forms of the adjectives "bad" and "good" are irregular: "worse" and "better".
3 even more excited: Because the speaker's son was already excited before receiving the bike, we add "even" before the comparative to emphasize that he became more excited still. To form the comparative of adjectives with three or more syllables (like "ex-ci-ted"), we always use the word "more". Another example: "That cake was even more delicious than the previous one you made!".
