1 classy: This is the correct choice. Mrs Lee calls the Delavigne logo "very classy". Something "classy" is "elegant" or "stylish". Example: "My girlfriend took me out to dinner at a classy restaurant last night".
1 tasty: This is not the most suitable choice. "Tasty" is usually used in the context of food, not places. To imply "elegance (in clothes)" we usually use the adjective "tasteful".
1 competitive: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "competitive" does not fit here. A "competitive (price)" is one which compares well to commercial rivals.
1 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking, it is rarely used to describe places.
2 competitive: This is the correct choice. A "competitive (price)" is one which is sufficiently low to be successful against commercial rivals. Mrs Lee writes, "You'll notice that our prices are very competitive."
2 tasty: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "tasty" does not fit here. "Tasty" is usually used in the context of food to describe something which is agreeable.
2 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking. A "handsome (price)" describes an amount of money that is agreeable in some way.
2 classy: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "classy" does not fit here. A "classy (suit)" is one which is elegant or tasteful.
3 tasty: This is the correct choice. A "tasty (meal)" is one with a very nice flavour, or a "delicious" meal. Example: I had a tasty breakfast today: baked beans on toast! Mrs Lee says that the "clams" (a type of mollusk) served in the restaurant are "tasty".
3 handsome: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "handsome" does not fit here. The adjective "handsome" describes someone (especially a man) who is good-looking.
3 classy: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "classy" does not fit here. A "classy (suit)" is one which is elegant or tasteful.

4 tasty: This is not the most appropriate choice. "Tasty" is rarely used to describe a person, in British slang it is sometimes used by a man to describe a physically attractive woman.

Esercizio 2
In the conversation, we hear that "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar at the moment".

This means that:

In the conversation, we hear that "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar at the moment".

This means that:
This is not the correct choice. To "retain a value" is to "keep" or "maintain" the same value. This does not define "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar".
This is not the correct choice. If one currency is "down against" another, it is not necessarily "competitive" with that other currency.
This is actually the opposite of the meaning of "down against" in this context. If the Australian Dollar increases in value in comparison to the American Dollar, then we can say that "The American Dollar is down against the Australian Dollar".
This is the right answer. If one currency is "down against" another currency, then it has lost value in comparison. We could also say that the Australian Dollar is currently "weaker than" the US Dollar. Here's another example: "The Euro is currently down against the Pound, so 1 Pound is worth about 1.6 Euros".

1 wholesale: "Wholesale" refers to the sale of products, usually in large quantities, generally to another distributor. These are sold at or below market value, usually to merchants, who then resell the products. ChinaCorp Ltd. specialises in "Wholesale Manufacturing and Production" - this information is located at the bottom of Mrs Lee's signature.
2 shifts: In this context, "a shift" refers to someone's working hours, generally someone in the service industry (bar and restaurant workers) or laborers (construction workers, for example). Mrs Lee says that her workers are used to working irregular shifts, this probably means that they are accustomed to working during the night.
3 downtown: "Downtown" is a chiefly American term referring to the centre of a city. It is the opposite of "uptown", which usually refers to a "chic" area of town. Mrs Lee recommends a restaurant "located downtown": in the centre of Hong Kong.
