1 poor: Job "performance" is a measure or evaluation of how well an employee executes their work. "Poor performance" is work of inferior quality. Note: In English, the term "poor" is not too strong - it is commonly used to describe things that are inferior. Example: He is a poor cook (=his food is not very good).
2 punctual: If someone is "punctual", they arrive on time. Example: Brian Jones arrives at the office at 6.29am every day - he is very punctual. Philip is complaining that Doris is no longer "punctual". He could also say, "Doris's "punctuality" is poor", or that she is often late.
3 efficient: An efficient person is productive, or works quickly with a minimum of time lost. Example: Sandra is very efficient - she completes her tasks well without wasting any time. Philip thinks that Doris used to be efficient, but now she is inefficient!
4 talented: If someone is "talented", they have natural skill or ability. Example: Elkie Johns is a very talented musician and lover. Philip thinks that Doris used to be a "talented maker of coffee", which means she had a talent or skill for making coffee. Personally, I am a talented drinker of coffee!
5 overweight: An overweight person weighs more than is considered healthy or normal - they are sometimes called "obese", "heavy" or "fat" (impolite). Example: Since I stopped exercising, I have become overweight. Philip thinks that Doris is a "little bit overweight".
6 mind: The "mind" is the part of your head that thinks! If your "mind is not on the job" it means your thoughts or attention are not focused on what you are doing. You are distracted. Example: Her mind hasn't been on the job since her dog died.
7 highlighted: If something is "highlighted" it is emphasized or made prominent. Example: The rise in violent crime "highlights" the need for more police on the street. Philip thinks that Doris's "mix-up" (where she sent him the wrong file for his sales talk) highlights or underlines the fact that she is not doing her job correctly.
8 dismissed: To be "dismissed" is to be "fired", "terminated" or "to lose your job". Philip thinks that Doris deserves to lose her job for her poor job performance.

1 perform: "Perform" is the right answer here. To "perform a song" is to sing it, and to "perform a play" is to act it in front of an audience. There is a related noun "performance". Some more examples: "William Shakespeare's plays were performed at The Globe", "That was a great performance: bravo!".
2 highlight: "Highlight" is the term we were looking for here. A "highlight" is a remarkably good part of something. Example: "Doing my Gymglish lesson is the highlight of my day". As a verb "to highlight something" is to draw attention to it: "I'd like to highlight the fact that this is a very small team".
3 must-see: "Must-see" is the right answer. We can talk about "must-see shows", "must-have shoes", or "must-own records". The meaning is that these things are highly recommended, and you really should see/have/own them! "Must-have" can also be used as a noun: "Good looks are a must-have if you want to be a model".

navigate: This is the best choice here. "To scroll up and down" indicates movement from the top to the bottom of a document, web page or other computer interfaces.
select: "To scroll" does not share a similar meaning with the verb "to select".
delete: "To scroll" does not share a similar meaning with the verb "to delete". "To delete (a file)" is to remove a file completely from a computer system.

1 smell: This is correct. "To sniff (a flower)" is to smell a flower, more specifically it is breathe air in through your nose in a way that makes a sound. In this broadcast, Moira and Brent discuss a pig that sniffs "truffles", or finds them by smelling for them.
1 taste: This is incorrect. To "sniff" and to "taste" have different meanings. To "taste (a steak)" is to try it by ingesting or eating part of it.
1 touch: This is incorrect. To "sniff" and to "touch" have different meanings. To "touch (a button)" is to "feel" it, or to make contact with it, using your hand or another body part.
2 a look: This is the best choice. The verb "to peek" means to look, often briefly or for a short period of time. As a noun, a "peek" refers to a quick look or glance at something. When Moira says that Enriqué will give us "a peek" at the world of sports, she means that he will tell us briefly, or give us an update on the world of sports.
2 an opinion: This is incorrect. An "opinion" and a "peek" are unrelated. An "opinion" refers to a point of view or perspective. For example: Brent's views on illegal immigration are very extreme; he believes that all illegals should be deported to Canada.
2 the apex or climax: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "a peak", which can refer to the top or apex of something, with a "peek", which refers to a short look or glance.
3 review: This is the best choice here. To "recap" (or re-cap) means to "go over" or "review" something (a topic, a subject, etc.) "Recap" is an abbreviation of the verb "to recapitulate", but it is frequently used as an abbreviation. Moira wants to summarize or review the topic of discussion mentioned earlier in this broadcast.
3 highlight: This is incorrect. "To highlight (the important points)" is to draw attention or emphasize them. For example: "I'd like to highlight the fact that we lost a billion dollars last month".
3 resume: This is incorrect. To "resume (working after a break)" describes continuing or restarting an action after a pause or interruption. For example: "I resumed work after my pregnancy".
4 ridicule: "Ridicule" is the best choice here. To "mock" someone is to "ridicule" or "make fun of" them, often by imitating them. Example: "Everyone mocks Dorian because of his gigantic ears".
4 kick: To "kick" someone is to "hit" or "strike" them with the foot. This is unrelated in meaning to the term "to mock".
4 befriend: This is incorrect. To "befriend (an elephant)" is to "make friends" with them, to become close to them or get to know them. This is unrelated to the term "to mock".
5 consecutively: This is the best choice here. The expression "in a row" shares a similar meaning with "consecutively", or "successively" in this context. In this broadcast, Enriqué mentions that Paris St. Germain has lost several matches "in a row", or "consecutively". Another example: "I've answered the phone ten times in a row. It's your turn to pick up now".
5 in a short period: This is incorrect. The expression "in a row" doesn't mean in a short period, but rather "consecutively" or "successively".
5 against quality opponents: This is incorrect. The expression "in a row" doesn't refer to the quality or strength of an opponent, but rather describes a series of "consecutive" or "successive" events.
