This is a false statement. Spencer recommends a "pricey" perfume, which is "expensive": the opposite of "cheap".
This is not true. At the start of the dialogue, Spencer admires Hannah's scarf and asks her where she bought it. Hannah does not want to purchase a scarf. A "scarf" is a piece of material worn around the neck.
This is the only true statement. Spencer says "Just put it in your bag. I won't tell a soul", which means that he wants Hannah to take the "Eternal Summer" perfume without paying for it. He wants her to steal the perfume. He's very naughty, that Spencer!

1 Pricey: This is the correct answer. "Pricey" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and both are opposite in meaning to "affordable". When something is "affordable" it is within one's (financial) means or "not too expensive". Example: Houses were affordable 10 years ago, but now I don't have enough money to pay for one. A "pricey (restaurant)" is expensive.
1 Cheap: This is incorrect. The term "cheap" is not an antonym of "affordable" and both terms have similar meanings. A "cheap (holiday)" is one which is inexpensive; an "affordable (holiday)" is within one's price range: a holiday that one can "afford".
1 Suitable: This is incorrect. A "suitable (offer)" is one which is convenient or appropriate. We use the term "unsuitable" or "inappropriate" to describe the opposite meaning.
1 Tough: This is incorrect. "Tough" is an antonym of the term "easy" and shares a similar meaning with "hard" or "difficult". For example: My exam was very tough, but fortunately I passed.
2 Dangerous: This is the correct answer. The terms "safe" and "dangerous" have opposite meanings. When we read that flying is "safe" this means that it is free from danger or without risks. Example: At night, I don't feel very safe where I live.
2 Sure: This is incorrect. "Sure" is not an antonym of "safe". "Sure" means "certain", for example: I am sure that he will arrive soon. Terms which have an opposite meaning to "sure" are: "unsure" and "uncertain".
2 Enjoyable: This is incorrect. "Enjoyable" is not an antonym of "safe". An "enjoyable (trip)" is one which is pleasurable or fun. "Unpleasant" is a term which has an opposite meaning to "enjoyable".
2 Sad: This is incorrect. "Sad" is not an antonym of "safe". A "sad (story)" is one which is unhappy.

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.
