Although the verb "to reproach" does express the idea of criticism or dislike, the idiom "beyond reproach" is actually indicates the high quality of something or someone.
The idiom "beyond reproach" is high praise or recommendation for someone or something. If someone's work is "beyond reproach", then it is very good, or so good that it shouldn't be criticized. The verb "to praise" means to "compliment" or "commend" it. The adjective "praiseworthy" is something "deserving", or worthy of praise.

Something "flawed" is imperfect. Fiona is expressing that Philip's work is excellent, not imperfect.

This is an incorrect statement. Ursula plays the harp, but unfortunately we don't know if she played the Indian flute or even the Jew's harp. Incidentally, the Indian god Krishna would drive women mad when he played his "Bansuri" flute. The "Jew's harp" is a funny little musical instrument. Very old and integral to many cultures, it has no particular connection with Judaism, and when played badly can seriously damage the teeth.
This is an incorrect statement. Bruno says that he's "beginning to see the advantages of this endeavor." This means that he is starting to believe that Ursula's ideas are advantageous. He does not say that he has already applied her ideas. "To implement" is "to put into place" or "to execute". Example: Bruno asks his managers to implement the new business strategy.
This is incorrect. Bruno is not reluctant to proceed with the changes that Ursula has proposed. On the contrary he is very pleased with her suggestions and wants to follow them without any hesitation.
This is a true statement. In general, Bruno likes all of Ursula's ideas, but there is one idea that especially interests him: "the tree-planting project in India." To be "keen (on sports)" means to "like" or "enjoy" sports.
This is correct. Bruno says that Ursula's "proposals are very clear and extremely well-structured." To "praise (someone or something)" is to express approval or admiration of something, for example: The king praised his soldiers for their courage in the battle. Bruno is expressing his approval of the structure of Ursula's ideas and her proposal.

1 figures: This is the correct answer. A "figure" in this case refers to numbers. When Icarus goes over the "facts and figures" of the past financial quarter, this means he is reviewing the numerical details relating to the company's business during the past quarter (profits, losses, expenses, etc). The expression "facts and figures" is a common idiom.
2 quarter: This is the correct answer. In this context, a financial "quarter" is a period of time equal to one-fourth of the financial year.
3 upcoming: This is the correct answer. "Upcoming" is an adjective that describes something that will take place in the near future. The narrator says that the meeting will take place "next Monday", which is indeed in the near future.

This means that the company is for its many actions.
This means that the company is for its many actions.
Sigourney says that Delavigne Corp is "known for its numerous eco-friendly initiatives".
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
1 renowned: "Renowned" is the right answer here. To be "known for" something is to be "renowned" or "famous" for something one does. Example: "Philip is known for his love of flirting".
1 infamous: This is not the best choice. To be "infamous for" something is to have a bad reputation because of it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 praised: This is not the best choice. To be "praised" for something is to be "congratulated" for it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 controversial: This is not the best choice. To be "controversial" is to be "unusual", or the subject of much debate. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
2 green: "Green" is the best answer here. The term "eco-friendly" is short for "environmentally-friendly", and describes someone or something which is "good for the environment". The term "green" shares a similar meaning. Example: "I dream of living in an eco-friendly house, where everything runs on green energy".
2 open-minded: This is not the right choice here. To be "open-minded" is to be "accepting" or unafraid of new ideas. This does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 amicable: This is not the right choice here. "Amicable" shares a similar meaning with "friendly", but you forgot about the important "eco(logically)" part! "Amicable" does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 money-saving: This is not the right choice here. A "money-saving" action will preserve cash, but it does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly", which refers to saving the environment.

1 convince or persuade: This is the correct answer. Icarus asks Hannah and Philip to "twist his arm" meaning that he wants to be "persuaded" to show them his finance report. Other example: He was reluctant to get on the plane, so I had to twist his arm. "To twist (a cable)" is to turn or distort it.

1 compliment or praise: This is incorrect. "To twist an arm" doesn't mean to compliment or praise them. "To praise" someone is to commend them or express admiration or approval.
1 interest or fascinate: This is incorrect. "To twist an arm" doesn't mean to interest or fascinate someone.
2 can't wait: The expression "I can't wait (to see you)" means that you are excited or impatient about seeing someone. Hannah says that she "can't wait" to read Icarus's finance report.
