Moira says that Trotter is known for his "incredible feats of magic". A "feat of magic" is a remarkable act of magic, not to be confused with one's "feet" which are a part of the body. The term "feat" is spelt with an "a", although it is pronounced the same as "feet". A "feat" is an "exploit" or "act".
Moira does talk about Trotter being drunk at the time of his arrest, however this is not one of the things he is famous for. Being drunk is the reason for which Trotter was arrested, not one of things he is known for. The adjective "lifelong" is a term meaning "through the course of one's life", or "during one's life". For example: Horatio is Bruno's lifelong friend. A "struggle" is a combat or strenuous effort. For example: "It is a struggle to survive in the desert without water".
Moira mentions that Trotter is well known for his "feats of magic", meaning his magical efforts. A "feat" is a remarkable act or effort. Do not confuse this with the parts of your body "feet" which is spelt with two "e"s. Moira is not referring to Trotter's "feet" but rather to his ability to perform magic.
Moira states that Trotter is famous for his "adorable little smile". The word "adorable" is a synonym for "cute". Both of these terms describe someone or something as being "sweet and endearing". For example: Bunny rabbits are cute and fluffy.
Moira mentions that Trotter has a "bizarre lightning-shaped scar". This means that he has a strange mark on his face in the form of a lightning bolt. There is an amazing story behind this apparently. The "forehead" is the portion of the face between your eyes and your hairline. A "scar" is a mark left after a wound or injury has healed. Lightning is an electrical discharge from the sky.

1 tape: "A tape" (or cassette tape) is an object used for storing and recording images and sound. Tapes use a magnetic ribbon to store information. Note that the verb "to tape" describes the act of recording sound or images (generally onto a tape), and that "tape" can also refer to adhesives such as "scotch tape" or "sellotape" (UK). In this broadcast, Brent "plays a tape" with the alien leader's message to the world.
2 scar: A "scar" is a mark which results from either physical or mental damage. Generally, a scar forms on the skin when a particular injury such as a bad cut has healed. In this broadcast, Moira tells us that Verne claimed the marks on his body were "scars from scientific experiments carried out by the aliens".
3 wonder: The verb "to wonder" has a few meanings in English: to question or speculate about something, or even to doubt it. Example: I am beginning to wonder whether this relationship is really working. In this broadcast, before Moira explains Verne Calahan's story in detail, she assumes that the listeners are "wondering" why this particular story is interesting. In other words, Moira supposes that the listeners are curious about this story which might be considered ordinary or banal. As a noun, "a wonder" describes a fantastic or amazing location. In English, we often refer to the seven wonders of the Ancient world, which include the pyramids of Egypt and the Colossus of Rhodes.

1 a small red mark or pimple on the skin: A spot is a mark on the skin. Teenagers often get spots on their faces during puberty. You can pop or burst a spot and puss (yellow liquid) will come out!
1 a swelling or irregular mass of solid matter: Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
1 a blue or yellow mark on the skin (left by an impact): Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
1 a mark left after a wound or injury has healed: Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
2 a swelling or irregular mass of solid matter: A lump is a mass under the skin. "Lumps" are often associated with cancer. Women should regularly check their breasts for "lumps".
2 a small red mark or pimple on the skin: This isn't the correct definition of a "lump".
2 a blue or yellow mark on the skin (left by an impact): This isn't the correct definition of a "lump".
2 a mark left after a wound or injury has healed: This isn't the correct definition of a "lump".
3 a blue or yellow mark on the skin (left by an impact): A "bruise" is a yellow or blue mark caused by internal bleeding under the skin. If you suffer an impact you may get a bruise. Example: I have a nasty bruise on my arm because my brother hit me! The term "bruise" is also used as a verb. Example: I bruised my leg kicking my brother. Pronunciation tip: "bruise" rhymes with "poos"!
3 a swelling or irregular mass of solid matter: Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
3 a small red mark or pimple on the skin: Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
3 a mark left after a wound or injury has healed: Sorry, this isn't the right choice!
4 a mark left after a wound or injury has healed: Cuts on the skin usually heal (or get better), but sometimes a mark, or "scar" remains. Example: I still have a scar on my leg from where a dog bit me OR The criminal has scars on his face from knife-fights.
4 a swelling or irregular mass of solid matter: This isn't the best choice!
4 a blue or yellow mark on the skin (left by an impact): This isn't the best choice!

Philip tells the nurse to "take a look at his file".
In this context, Philip's "files" are most likely .
In this context, Philip's "files" are most likely .
Philip tells the nurse to "take a look at his file".
In this context, Philip's "files" are most likely medical records.
In this context, Philip's "files" are most likely medical records.
medical records: Philip tells the nurse to "take a look at (his) file" just after the nurse asks him if he has ever "contracted any sexually transmitted diseases". He tells the nurse to look at his file in response to the nurse's question about his medical history (an STD is a sexually transmitted disease), so we can assume that Philip's file is a record of his medical history.
health insurance forms: Although health insurance is related to the medical profession, it is extremely unlikely that Philip would suggest that the nurse check his "health insurance forms" in response to a question about Philip's sexual history. This is not the best choice here.
scars: A scar is a physical mark from an injury or wound. Philip is not referring to his "scars" when he mentions his "file".
photos of his ex-girlfriends : This is not likely. It is true that Philip is trying to give the doctor a sense of his medical history, however it is not likely that any sort of official file would include photographs of Philip's ex-girlfriends.

How does Lawrence prove to Icarus that he was "really in the military"?
How does Lawrence prove to Icarus that he was "really in the military"?
Lawrence doesn't have a metal plate in his head.
Although Lawrence does yell and scream often, this is not the best answer here. Lawrence does in fact give Icarus an indication that he was in the military by indicating the medals on his jacket.
Although Lawrence makes reference to his jacket, which is an item of clothing, there is no evidence that he has removed it. A "wound" is an "physical injury", and a "scar" is the mark which forms on the body afterwards.
This is correct. When asked about his past career in the military, Lawrence says look at this jacket...do you see these medals?' Lawrence is indicating to Icarus (and the entire staff) the awards he has won during his time in the military.
