1 That's easier said than done: This is the best choice here. The idiom "(that's) easier said than done" expresses that "doing" something is harder than "speaking" about doing it, or even that speaking about something is far easier than doing it. Example: Your suggestion to replace all the old computers with brand new ones is easier said than done.
1 How dare you go behind my back: This isn't the best choice here. "To go behind someone's back" is to do something without the knowledge of someone else. For example: I told him not to send the email, but he went ahead and sent it behind my back, without telling anyone. "How dare you (speak to me like this)" is a construction which expresses surprise and anger on the part of the speaker. This expression is often used to describe the indignation of the speaker at an action which was inappropriate, disrespectful or out of place.
1 Well, if you put it that way: This isn't the best choice here. "If you put it that way..." is an expression used to comment upon the way something (such as an argument or information) has been presented or delivered. For example: -Living in a confined space adds structure and discipline to your life. -If you put it that way, going to prison sounds desirable! This expression is often used to point out that the way that something is said is either subjective, biased, or sometimes even convincing.
2 You can never be too careful: This is the best choice here. "You can never be too careful" is an expression which encourages caution or prudence in actions. The construction "you can never be too + adjective" expresses that there is ALWAYS a need for something. For example: You can never be too cautious when it comes to bears.
2 I find that hard to believe: This isn't the best choice here. "To find something hard to believe" is to doubt the veracity or truthfulness of a topic. For example: I found his explanation about his sick grandmother hard to believe.
2 I suppose it's the thing to do: This isn't the best choice here. "I suppose it's the thing to do" is a statement which expresses the speaker's (reluctant) decision to go forward with an action. For example: I don't want to fire her, but I suppose it's the thing to do.
3 go behind my back: This is the best choice here. "To go behind someone's back" is to do something without the knowledge of someone else. For example: I told him not to send the email, but he went ahead and sent it behind my back, without telling anyone. "How dare you (speak to me like this)" is a construction which expresses surprise and anger on the part of the speaker. This expression is often used to describe the indignation of the speaker at an action which was inappropriate, disrespectful or out of place, such as flirting with a girl that your friend is interested in.
3 think it was all about peace and love back then: This isn't the best choice here. Expressions which include "back then" or "back in those days" are often used to express nostalgia or affection for times past. For example: Back in my father's time, a quarter was worth a dollar, and a dollar was worth 10 dollars, and 10 dollars, that was worth like... a billion dollars.
3 think there's anything to worry about: This isn't the best choice here. This expression doesn't belong in the context of this conversation.
