1 to settle: This is correct. As already mentioned, "To settle a bill" means "to pay a bill". It is a very common word combination. In the conversation, Philip asks to settle his bill the following day because he is tired. Another example: Please SETTLE your invoice by the end of the month!
1 to book: This doesn't make sense, I'm afraid!
1 to spend: This doesn't make sense, I'm afraid! We can't "spend a bill". A bill needs to be paid!
1 to postpone: Perhaps we could say "to postpone a bill" to mean to pay a bill at a later date. However, this use is not used in the dialogue!
2 to book: This is correct. "To book (a room)" is "to reserve (a room)". Example: I would like to BOOK a room for 3 days please'. In Philip's text to Polly he writes that he has "booked a room in the Windy City hotel".
2 to settle: It is impossible "to settle a room"!
2 to spend: It is impossible "to spend a room"!
2 to postpone: We could conceivably "postpone a room" meaning to delay the use of a room to a later date. Unfortunately, this meaning is not used in the dialogue.
3 to spend: This is the right answer. In this context, "to spend" means to pass time in a particular way. Example: I'm going to SPEND a few days in Las Vegas. In Philip's text message he writes that he is "going to have to spend the night in Chicago". Remember, "to spend" is irregular: SPEND/SPENT/SPENT - Last year, I SPENT a week in prison. In Philip's text, he writes that he is going "to spend the night in Chicago".
3 to book: We could conceivably "book the night", meaning to reserve a room on a particular night in a hotel. However, this combination is less common and certainly not used in text! Sorry!
3 to settle: We could conceivably "settle the night", meaning to pay for a night in a hotel. However, this combination is less common and certainly not used in the text! Sorry!
3 to postpone: We could conceivably "postpone the night", meaning to delay an event (that takes place in the evening) to a later date. However, this combination is less common and certainly not used in text! Sorry!
4 to postpone: This is correct. As already covered, "to postpone" means to defer something to a later time. Example: The picnic was POSTPONED due to bad weather - it will now take place next week. "To postpone a meeting" is a very common combination of words!
4 to book: It might be possible "to book a meeting", meaning to reserve a meeting or make an appointment (with your boss for example). However, this is not a common combination of words, and certainly not used in the text!
4 to spend: It might be possible "to spend a meeting (sending text messages or taking notes, for example)". However, this is not a common combination of words, and certainly not used in the text!
4 to settle: "To settle a meeting" is a strange combination of words - it is difficult to imagine it being used by people with mouths.
