1 flew: "Flying" describes the act of traveling through the air, as birds, planes and helicopters do. The verb "to fly" is irregular, and becomes "flew" in the third person form of the simple past tense. To fly: fly/flew/flown.
2 dress: "A dress" is an article of clothing, usually worn by women. The noun "dress" (without an article) can also refer to clothing in general (the style of an outfit for example). We might say: Traditional Japanese dress includes Kimonos. The verb "to dress" describes the act of putting on clothes.
3 a flood: "A flood" is an inundation of land which is normally dry. As a verb, "to flood" describes the act of inundation. To flood can also be used figuratively to describe a heavy concentration or outpouring of something. Example: We've been flooded with phone calls since our commercial was televised yesterday.
4 an attempt: An "attempt" is a "try" or an "effort". "To make an attempt to swim" is to try to swim. In the broadcast above, Moira reports that there was assassination attempt on the Prime Minister, meaning that somebody tried to kill the Prime Minister (but failed to kill him or her).
5 devastating: The verb "to devastate" means to destroy or ruin. If an old building is "devastated" it has been completely destroyed. The adjective "devastating" can be used to describe an event or action which hurts emotionally, or causes tremendous damage or pain. Bruno and Horatio were very sad after missing their chance to see the first match of the world cup.

Choose the best definitions for the following expressions from the text.

"Everyone needs to be on their best behavior" --> Everyone should act in a mature manner 1. "(Let's) keep things professional" --> Let's maintain a professional atmosphere 2.
1 Everyone should act in a mature manner: "To be on one's best behavior" is a phrase meaning "to act in a mature and sensible manner." It is often said by parents to their children. "Behavior" (US) or "behaviour" (UK) is a term which describes the "comportment" or '
1 Everyone should dress well: Although dressing well is part of acting maturely, this choice does not define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior". "To dress (formally)" is to wear formal clothes, or to present oneself in formal attire such as a suit and tie or a nice skirt for example.
1 Everyone should finish all of their tasks: Finishing your tasks is always a good idea, but this sentence does not accurately define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior".
1 Everyone should come to work on time: While it is important to be punctual, this sentence does not best define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior". "To be on time (for a meeting)" is to arrive at the meeting in a punctual manner, or at the scheduled meeting time.
2 Let's maintain a professional atmosphere: To "keep things professional" is to maintain a professional atmosphere. The expression "let's keep things (informal)" describes the speaker's desire for an informal state or condition. For example: I know you don't like my brother, but please let's keep things cordial during the wedding. Polly is urging or encouraging the staff to behave professionally during Harold Warbuckle's visit.
2 Let's act like professionals for once: This isn't what Polly means when she urges the staff to keep things professional. The expression "for once" indicates that something doesn't happen regularly, or that it happens very infrequently. For example, "Why don't you do the dishes for once?" indicates that the person being spoken to rarely does the dishes!
2 Let's dance around like professional dancers: Yes, but no! So close! Polly isn't encouraging the staff to dance around like professional dancers.
2 Let's get professional help for this meeting: Polly isn't suggesting that the staff get professional "help", but rather that they act in a professional manner. "Professional help" is an expression often used to refer to "psychiatric" or "psychological" help. For example: You seem a little bit crazy, maybe you should get professional help.
