1 cheaply: "Cheaply" is a synonym of "inexpensively": both terms refer to low costs or prices.

Kevin actually says that the prices at the restaurant were "very low", meaning that the restaurant was cheap, or inexpensive.
Kevin begins his conversation with Mrs. Lee by thanking her for the restaurant recommendation, and goes on to tell her how much he enjoyed it. There is no indication that Kevin went to a different restaurant.
Kevin remarks that although he ate copious amounts of food, he felt hungry soon after eating. He says, "It was strange though, an hour after I ate, I was hungry again". "To be hungry" is to "feel like" eating, or to have the urge to eat.
Mrs. Lee says, "I am filled with joy because you like our traditional Chinese cuisine". "To be filled with joy" is a way of saying "I am very happy" or "I am overjoyed". Mrs. Lee is happy because Kevin enjoyed a traditional Chinese meal.

1 expensive: "Expensive" is the best choice here. An expensive item is "dear" or "costs a lot of money". In the dialogue, Spencer uses the term "pricey", which shares a similar meaning with "expensive". Example: "I've bought myself an expensive bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday".
1 cheaper: "Cheaper" means "less expensive". It does not make sense to use this term here.
1 reasonable: A "reasonable" price is "not too expensive" or "decent value for money". It does not make sense to use this term to describe such an expensive perfume.
1 a bargain: A "bargain" is a "good deal" or "very good value" item. It does not make sense to use this term to describe such an expensive perfume.
2 reasonable: "Reasonable" is the best choice here. If something is "reasonable", it costs an "acceptable" or "moderate" sum: "not too expensive". The term "reasonable" describes something which is "good value". Example: "This hat was very reasonable - I'm so happy I found it!".
2 expensive: This price is not "expensive" compared to the "Pink Lady" perfume. In fact, it is cheaper.
2 pricey: "Pricey" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and was used by Spencer in the dialogue. This perfume is not "pricey" compared to the "Pink Lady" scent. In fact, it is cheaper.
2 dear: In a price context, "dear" shares a similar meaning with "expensive". This price is not "dear" compared to the "Pink Lady" perfume. In fact, it is cheaper.
3 cheap: "Cheap" is the best choice here. When an item is "cheap", it is "not expensive" or "does not cost much money". The "Forever Yours" perfume is the "cheapest" of the three because it costs the least amount of money. In the dialogue, Hannah asks Spencer if he has anything "cheaper" because she finds the first perfume to be too expensive. Example: "I only wear cheap clothes because I am very poor".
3 pricey: "Pricey" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and is not the best choice here.
3 dear: "Dear" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and is not the best choice here.
3 expensive: An "expensive" item is one which costs a lot of money. This is not the best choice here.

Melanie Cousins from U-Canteen says that the book in question is:

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a true statement. Melanie says that the book is "so cheap, it's practically a gift". We describe something as "cheap" when it is "good value" or "inexpensive". She is saying that the book does not cost a lot of money.
The head of catering at Delavigne is called Mr Stevens. He is not a book.
Melanie claims that Oliver Jamie's book "will change (Mr Stevens") life'. This means that it is "life-changing". She also says that the book "will revolutionize the way (Mr Stevens) works". This means that if he buys this book, Mr Stevens' life will change!
This is a false statement. Melanie actually describes the book as "cheap", which is the opposite of "expensive".

1 delicatessens: "Delicatessens" is the best choice here. A "delicatessen" is a shop selling food and drinks which are often unusual or exotic, and can be very expensive. Floyd says that only those who "can afford it" should shop at Delicatessens, meaning that the price is high, and that these shops "specialize". Example: "I need to buy orecchiette from the Italian delicatessen, but I only have $3". Note that the term "delicatessen" is often shortened to "deli".
1 supermarkets: This is not the best choice here. Floyd tells us that "the prices are low" in supermarkets and that there is a lot of "choice", meaning that supermarkets are neither "expensive" nor "highly specialised".
1 convenience stores: This is not the best choice here. We are not told anything about the price or range of products in convenience stores in this chapter.
2 convenience stores: "Convenience stores" is the correct answer. Floyd tells us that "convenience stores are often open 24 hours a day", meaning that they are open all night, or that they never close. They are also located in the centre of towns: a "convenient" or "helpful" location. Example: "I often buy chocolate at 2am at my local convenience store".
2 supermarkets: This is not the right answer here. We are not told anything about the opening hours of supermarkets in this chapter of Good Day USA.
2 delicatessens: This is not the right answer here. We are not told anything about the opening hours of delicatessens in this chapter of Good Day USA.
3 supermarkets: "Supermarkets" is the best choice. When Floyd talks about supermarkets, he tells us that "The choice in these huge stores is amazing. And the prices are low." This means that there are lots of different items at "cheap" or "low" prices. Example: "I go to the supermarket once a month to buy lots of groceries".
3 delicatessens: This is not the best choice here. Only people who "can afford it" can shop at delicatessens, meaning that they are expensive: the opposite of "cheap"! They also "specialize", meaning that the "choice" available is very specific or precise.
3 convenience stores: This is not the best choice here. This chapter does not tell us anything about the choice available or the prices in convenience stores.
