1 persuade: This is correct. Bruno uses this expression to indicate that he has been convinced by Herbert's suggestion to finance his film. "To twist someone's arm" is to persuade them to do something they do not initially want to do. Example: "He will probably go on holiday with us if you twist his arm." The verb to "twist" means to "rotate" or to "turn", for example: "You don't need a bottle opener, you can twist the cap off."
1 intimidate: This is incorrect. The expression "to twist someone's arm" does not describe an act of intimidation but one of persuasion.
1 discourage: This is incorrect. The expression "to twist one's arm" does not describe a discouraging action, but rather a persuasive one.
1 intrigue: This is incorrect. The expression "to twist one's arm" does not mean that Bruno is "intrigued" by Herbert's suggestion but rather that he is convinced by it.
2 fool: This is correct. The expression "to pull someone's leg" is "to fool" them, or to "tease" them with a lie. Example: "He was pulling my leg when he told me his car was the fastest car in the world." Other expressions that convey a similar meaning are: "to have someone on" or "to kid someone".
2 insult: This is not the best answer. The expression "to pull someone's leg" does not mean to "insult" someone.
2 annoy: This is incorrect. The expression "to pull someone's leg" does not mean to "annoy" someone or to make someone "angry".
2 arouse: This is not the best answer, unless you are talking about the mysterious "third leg".
3 angry: This is the correct answer. "To have a chip on the shoulder" is to be habitually hostile, often because of a perceived injustice which has happened in the past. Example: "He has a chip on his shoulder because the management did not give him the promotion he wanted." The "shoulder" is the part of the body between the neck and the upper arm.
3 lazy: This is incorrect. To be "lazy" is to be resistant to work. It is not associated with the meaning of "to have a chip on one's shoulder".
3 immature: This is incorrect. To have a "chip on one's shoulder" does not mean that one is immature.
3 a bad eater: This is incorrect. Although a "chip" might often fall onto the shoulder, especially while eating, it is a fairly rare phenomenon.

"Don't be fooled by Bruno's email!"
This could be rewritten as:
"Don't be by Bruno's email!"
This could be rewritten as:
"Don't be by Bruno's email!"
"Don't be fooled by Bruno's email!"
This could be rewritten as:
"Don't be deceived by Bruno's email!"
This could be rewritten as:
"Don't be deceived by Bruno's email!"
deceived : This is the best choice here. "To be fooled by (something)" means to be deceived or made to believe something that isn't true. For example: "the victim was fooled by the criminal's fake police uniform". Brian thinks Bruno isn't telling the truth in his "warning" email and therefore encourages his colleagues not to be deceived by Bruno's "false" statements.
worried : "To be worried" means to suffer from disturbing thoughts or anxieties. It is therefore not synonymous with "to be fooled by" and is not the best choice here.
deranged: "To be deranged" means to be troubled or insane. It is not synonymous with "to be fooled by". "To be deranged by something" doesn't really exist - it would be more natural to say "to be disturbed" by something.
surprised : "To be surprised" usually means to discover something suddenly and unexpectedly. It is therefore not synonymous with "to be fooled by" and is not the best choice here.
