What does this mean?
Philip is offering to explain his weekly responsibilities to Fiona, not "give her a tour".
Philip is offering to explain his weekly responsibilities to Fiona, not reschedule the interview for another time.
Philip is offering to explain his weekly responsibilities to Fiona, not "trade places" with her. The verb "to trade" means "to exchange". To trade places with someone is to exchange roles or position with someone.
"To take somebody through something" is to explain something step by step, or point by point. When Philip offers to take Fiona through an average week, he is offering to explain his responsibilities in a typical week to Fiona.

This statement is false. Brent asks Candy whether Oklahoma is a good destination for 'the next Vanderplop family vacation' and she replies 'I wouldn't recommend it Brent'. Brent is not taking his family on holiday to Oklahoma, nor would doing so be a good idea.
This is a true statement. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'the average number of tornadoes per year in Oklahoma is about 52'. The term 'average' refers to the normal or typical amount of (thunderstorms) each year. Example: The average age of Europeans is 65.
This is a true statement. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'for the past two weeks, there have been constant thunderstorms' indicating that there has been bad weather for the past 2 weeks in Oklahoma. A 'thunderstorm' is an intense period of rain, wind, thunder and lightning which passes over land or sea.
This statement is false. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'there's a tornado on its way', meaning that the tornado is 'coming', or 'will arrive soon'. Moreover, Candy reports that she 'can actually see the tornado now'. Candy is not reporting about a tornado that hit Oklahoma two weeks ago, but rather a tornado which will arrive any minute!
This statement is false. Although Candy does say 'Oh look there's a flying cow', it is because a cow has been picked up by a tornado and lifted into the air. At no point in the broadcast does Candy mention flying cows being indigenous to the state of Oklahoma.

"there's no such thing as the average Delavigne employee"
This means that:
This means that:
"there's no such thing as the average Delavigne employee"
This means that:
This means that:
This is not the best choice here. To treat someone "fairly" is to treat them "in a just manner", and this is unrelated to the idiom "no such thing".
"There's NO SUCH THING as SOMETHING" = "SOMETHING does not exist". Example: There's NO SUCH THING as Father Christmas. In her statement "there's NO SUCH THING as the average Delavigne employee", Luna means that the "average" or "typical" employee does not exist because each employee is different.
This is not the best choice here. If Luna wanted to suggest that all Delavigne employees were talented, she would probably say, "there's no such thing as an untalented Delavigne employee (there are only talented Delavigne employees)".
This is not the best choice here.

1 random: This is correct. Choosing "at random" indicates a selection process that is based entirely on chance. In the example, each number has an equal chance of being selected. Another example: I chose a card AT RANDOM from the deck of cards - it turned out to be "The King of Hearts". In the dialogue, Icarus talks about "the average estimate of 500 random people". This means the 500 people are selected by chance (or at random).
1 average: The term "at average" does not exist. However, it is possible to say "on average" to mean "typically" or "normally". Example: ON AVERAGE, I eat 10 hot dogs per week!
2 average: This is correct. In mathematics, the term "average" is a simpler way of saying the "arithmetic mean". The arithmetic mean is the sum of a set of numbers divided by the number of numbers in the set. Example: (2 + 9 + 8 + 6)/4 = 6.25. Don't you just love maths?
2 random: This is incorrect. We do not say "the random..." The term "random" is not used as a noun.
3 average: This is correct. In this context, the term "average" is a synonym of "typical", "ordinary" or "normal". Example: During an AVERAGE week, I eat 10 hot dogs! It is common to say "the average (person)..." to talk about the behavior of a typical (person). Example: The AVERAGE person spends 40 minutes on the phone each day = ON AVERAGE, people spend 40 minutes on the phone each day.
3 random: This is incorrect. The term "random" doesn't make sense here. We are not talking about a person who has been selected by chance - we are talking about the "typical" person and the average time (mathematically) that people spend in front of the television.
4 random: This is correct. The term "random" describes something that occurs by chance, without being prearranged. Therefore a "random check" means the people who are tested are selected in a haphazard way, without a plan. In the example there is an equal chance for each motorist to be stopped (in theory, at least!). Another example: The athlete was found to be using performance-enhancing drugs during a RANDOM blood test.
4 average: This is incorrect. The term "average" doesn't make sense here. We are not trying to say that the checks are "normal" or "typical".

1 currency: "Currency" describes the money or denomination of money used by a particular country. For example, the currency of many European countries is the Euro (or Europe), the currency of the United States is the US dollar (USD) etc. In this broadcast, Jonas informs us that the currency of Sweden is the Swedish Krona.
2 average: The "average (temperature)" describes the typical or usual temperature of a region or place. The average winter temperature in Finland is 4.8 degrees celsius, according to Jonas. Note that "average" can mean something "typical" or "usual", as in: He's of average height, or she is our average customer, or it can correspond to a specific number (also called the 'mean): The average of 9 and 1 is 5, or the average age of our clients is 33 years old.
3 Major: "Major" means "large", "great" or significant in this context. "Major" and "minor" describes things of greater and lesser importance. We often talk about the "major exports" of a country to describe their principal or main exports.
4 knowledge: "Knowledge" describes "understanding", "information" or "familiarity (with a topic)". For example: A knowledge of basic accounting is necessary for a job in the finance department. In this broadcast, Brent is testing Jonas on his "knowledge" or understanding about Scandinavia.
