This is incorrect. To admit a problem means that you are prepared to say that you have a problem. For example, "After 10 years of drinking six bottle of whisky a day, he finally admitted he had a little problem".
This is a suitable alternative. To "deal with a problem" is to "handle" or "resolve" it. For example: "There are six deliveries arriving this afternoon, but I have an important meeting. Can you deal with them?"
This is a correct choice. To "sort something out" shares a similar meaning with "to handle something". For example: "The two secretaries on reception were arguing all the time. We sorted it out though: one now works in the morning and the other in the afternoon".
This is incorrect. "To encounter" a problem means "to meet" a problem or "to run into" a problem. It does not mean the same thing as "to handle a problem".

This is an incorrect statement. Steffi does not change her original order of 80,000 units of Bruno's Brew, despite Philip's attempts to encourage her to purchase more of Delavigne's products.
This is an incorrect statement. Steffi tells Philip that the Epikure Kosmetiks' buying commission were very impressed with Delavigne's perfumes. Steffi says: "I admit that the samples we received were a success with the buying commission". To "admit (something" is to "acknowledge" or "be honest" about it. Example: I admit that I make mistakes occasionally.
This is a correct statement. Philip says "Just for you a 30 percent discount on all units of Liquid Dynamite". A "discount" is a price reduction, generally offered in an attempt to increase retail turnover. Philip says that this offer is exclusive to Epikure Kosmetiks.

1 has made a very expensive album: This is the best choice here. We read in the article that Elkie's latest album is "the most expensive LP in history". An "LP" or "long player" is an album or collection of songs. Elkie has reportedly been accused of "wasting money on the album".
1 is the Queen's new best friend: This is incorrect. Although Elkie boasts that the Queen of England "rapped" on his album (spoke words musically), he also implies that The Queen was paid, and did not do this because she is Elkie's new best friend.
1 admits that he is careless with his money: This is incorrect. To "admit" to something is to "confess" or "accept" it. In fact, we read that Elkie defends his actions: he does not confess to spending his money carelessly.
2 are the most popular domesticated animals: This is the right answer. We read in the article that "Dogs... were declared the "World's Favourite Pet"." A "pet" is a domesticated animal such as a cat, dog, or pot-bellied pig which lives with people in their home. If something is "a favourite", then it is the "most popular" or the "preferred" thing. In this case, dogs are the most popular domesticated animals in the world!
2 are bigger than most dinosaurs: This is not the right choice. In the paragraph about dinosaurs, the journalist writes that "A Tyrannosaurus Rex... would have been no bigger than a small goat". A "goat" is an animal which is good at climbing up steep, rocky mountains. We make cheese from their milk. Goats are not a type of dog.
2 are worshipped all over the world: This is not the right choice. Although apparently cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt as the gods that they are.
3 will receive less money from their customers: This is the best answer here. The journalist writes that "It was a BAD WEEK for... European supermarkets", because they will have to pay their customers money while they wait to pay for their purchases. For example, in a French supermarket, "many customers left with more money than when they arrived". If the customers make a profit, then the shop must make a loss!
3 have increased their prices: This is incorrect. There is no indication in the article that the cost of products has been raised in European supermarkets.
3 have introduced automated check-outs: This is incorrect. There is no indication in the article that the payment system in European supermarkets will be "automated" or "electronic".
4 will no longer exist: This is the right description of what will happen to Mondays. We read in the article that "Mondays will be abolished". To "abolish" something is to "ban", "cancel", or "make it disappear". Example: "Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833". If something "no longer exists", it has been destroyed, cancelled, or banned.
4 will be moved to later in the week: This is not the right choice. The article does not tell us that Mondays will move to a different date in the week. Rather, they will disappear entirely!
4 will be replaced by Fridays: This is not the right choice. The article does not tell us that Mondays will be replaced by Fridays. Rather, they will disappear entirely!
