1 That's a funny joke: "That's a good one" is a common expression which means "that was a funny joke" or "that was a good story". here the cab driver is responding to Jean's comment that he "is not a Christian", which actually isn't a joke. This expression is used both in American and British English.
1 That's a long way from here: The expression "That's a good one" is unrelated to the idea of distance.
1 That's very strange: The cab driver's expression is a comment on the humor of Jean's statement, not on its strangeness or abnormality.
2 Get inside the car: This is the correct choice. "Hop in" is an idiom inviting someone "get in" a vehicle (usually a car). This expression is used in both American and British English.
2 Find another taxi: This is not what "hop in" expresses.
2 The door is open: This is not what "hop in" expresses.
3 I finish my shift at approximately 10 o'clock: The idiom "to get off work" means to finish working (for the day). A "shift" has many meanings, but in this context refers to the period of time that the cab driver has worked during the day. For example: The night shift at the metro starts at 11:00 pm. The expression "to get off work" is used in both British and American English.
3 My shift started at approximately 10 o'clock: This is not what "to get off work" expresses. The cab driver is not indicating when she started working, but rather when she will finish.
3 My busiest period begins at approximately 10 o'clock: This is not what "to get off work" expresses. To talk about when a busy period begins, the cab driver might say, for example, "I get very busy from 10 o'clock" or "things really pick up around 10".
4 You're kind of cute: The cab driver is expressing that she finds Jean "attractive" or "cute". She uses the British idiom "you're a bit of alright" which is familiar.
4 You seem rather ordinary: This is not what the cab driver is expressing when she says that Jean "is a bit of alright".
4 You seem okay to me: This is not what the cab driver is expressing when she says that Jean "is a bit of alright".
4 You called at the perfect moment: This is not what the cab driver is expressing when she says that Jean "is a bit of alright".

Moira says that Trotter is known for his "incredible feats of magic". A "feat of magic" is a remarkable act of magic, not to be confused with one's "feet" which are a part of the body. The term "feat" is spelt with an "a", although it is pronounced the same as "feet". A "feat" is an "exploit" or "act".
Moira does talk about Trotter being drunk at the time of his arrest, however this is not one of the things he is famous for. Being drunk is the reason for which Trotter was arrested, not one of things he is known for. The adjective "lifelong" is a term meaning "through the course of one's life", or "during one's life". For example: Horatio is Bruno's lifelong friend. A "struggle" is a combat or strenuous effort. For example: "It is a struggle to survive in the desert without water".
Moira mentions that Trotter is well known for his "feats of magic", meaning his magical efforts. A "feat" is a remarkable act or effort. Do not confuse this with the parts of your body "feet" which is spelt with two "e"s. Moira is not referring to Trotter's "feet" but rather to his ability to perform magic.
Moira states that Trotter is famous for his "adorable little smile". The word "adorable" is a synonym for "cute". Both of these terms describe someone or something as being "sweet and endearing". For example: Bunny rabbits are cute and fluffy.
Moira mentions that Trotter has a "bizarre lightning-shaped scar". This means that he has a strange mark on his face in the form of a lightning bolt. There is an amazing story behind this apparently. The "forehead" is the portion of the face between your eyes and your hairline. A "scar" is a mark left after a wound or injury has healed. Lightning is an electrical discharge from the sky.

This statement is true. Philip wants Polly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Donna, probably only because he finds her attractive. Because he doesn't think this is a legitimate reason to schedule an appointment, he asks Polly to tell Dr. Donna about some "early childhood trauma", or to tell her that Philip wants to discuss his feelings.
This statement is false. Philip says that Dr. Donna is really "cute", meaning that she is attractive or pretty. He never refers to her being "smart" or "intelligent".
This statement is false. Philip suggests that Polly tell Dr. Donna about "some early childhood trauma", however this trauma never really occurred as Philip is trying to invent a reason for seeing Dr. Donna. Furthermore, Philip is likely referring to psychological trauma and not a physical injury.
This statement is false. Philip calls Dr. Donna "the new chick". Although a "chick" literally refers to a baby chicken, in this context it is a term used to refer to a woman. Note that the use of "chick" to refer to a woman is slang, and sometimes considered pejorative.
This statement is true. Philip says that he saw Dr. Donna in the lounge. A "lounge" is a type of waiting area where one can relax or rest. At a company, it is often a room with a coffee machine or snack machines. In an airport or train station, a lounge often includes a smoking area and lavatories.
