1 foreign: "Foreign" is the best choice here. The adjective "foreign" is used to describe countries other than the one you live in. Here's another example: "Arina has a very strange accent. She's British but she spent her childhood in many different foreign countries because her mother was a diplomat".
2 successful: "Successful" is the term we were looking for. If someone or something (a person, a company, a project) is "successful", they are doing well. For people, this often means that they are earning lots of money or are recognised as being very good at their job. Example: "Michael Jaquesson is the most successful pop singer of all time".
3 expensive: "Expensive" is the best answer here. If something is "expensive", it is "dear" or it "costs a lot of money". Let's look at another example: "I would like to drink champagne before bed every day, but it's too expensive".

Complete the sentence below. Remember that Susie's English is grammatically perfect, so you should choose the options which are correct in formal contexts!
Susie: Philip thinks he's the man at Delavigne. He thinks that no one is as talented with the girls as . But if you ask me, he is no than .
Susie: Philip thinks he's the man at Delavigne. He thinks that no one is as talented with the girls as . But if you ask me, he is no than .
Complete the sentence below. Remember that Susie's English is grammatically perfect, so you should choose the options which are correct in formal contexts!
Susie: Philip thinks he's the most attractive 1 man at Delavigne. He thinks that no one is as talented with the girls as he is 2. But if you ask me, he is no more successful 3 than I am 4.
Susie: Philip thinks he's the most attractive 1 man at Delavigne. He thinks that no one is as talented with the girls as he is 2. But if you ask me, he is no more successful 3 than I am 4.
1 most attractive: 'Attractive' is a long (polysyllabic) adjective, so it requires 'most' or 'least' in the superlative form. We can recognize the need for the superlative form by the presence of 'the'.
1 more attractive: Generally, the article 'the' introduces the superlative form of an adjective. The comparative form (more attractive) is acceptable in some constructions (John is the more talented student of the two boys), however here the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect by using it.
1 attractivist: This word does not exist. The superlative form of 'attractive' is 'most attractive'.
2 he is: To complete a comparison introduced by 'as', we use the same subject + auxiliary combination introduced in the first clause. This is a negative comparison which indicates that Philip believes he is more talented than anyone else. When making this sort of comparison (as...as), we introduce and finish the comparison with 'as', and repeat the same subject + auxiliary combination in both clauses (he is).
2 him: Although in spoken English, comparisons of equality are often completed with personal pronouns, this is grammatically incorrect. The proper way to complete the comparison is to include the pronoun + auxiliary combination introduced in the first clause.
2 himself: Although in spoken English, comparisons of equality are often completed with personal pronouns (and sometimes reflexive pronouns), this is grammatically incorrect. The proper way to complete the comparison is to include the pronoun + auxiliary combination introduced in the first clause.
3 more successful: To create a comparison of superiority with a long adjective (like successful) we can use the 'more...than' construction to indicate that one subject is superior to another. Negative comparisons can also be made with this formula: He isn't more successful than I am.
3 most successful: Using the superlative form of the adjective 'successful' is grammatically incorrect. The term 'than' indicates a comparative construction, not a superlative one.
3 success: 'Success' is not a comparative adjective, but a noun. We cannot use it here, and it is grammatically incorrect.
3 successfuller: 'Successfuller' isn't a real word. The comparative form of long (polysyllabic) adjectives are formed with the prefix 'more'.
4 I am: To complete a comparison of superiority we must choose a subject + auxiliary combination using one of the subjects being compared and the auxiliary used in the first clause. The pronoun 'I' is used here to compare Philip's success with the speaker's (Susie), and 'am' is a form of the verb auxiliary 'be', introduced in the first clause.
4 my: 'My' is a possessive pronoun which cannot replace the subject of a sentence.
4 myself: Although in spoken English, comparisons of equality, superiority and inferiority are often completed with personal pronouns (and sometimes reflexive pronouns), this is grammatically incorrect. The proper way to complete the comparison is to include an subject + auxiliary combination.
4 me: Although in spoken English, comparisons of equality, superiority and inferiority are often completed with personal pronouns (and sometimes reflexive pronouns), this is grammatically incorrect. The proper way to complete the comparison is to include a subject + auxiliary combination.

Which of the following best defines the expression "on the money" in this context?
Being "on the money" is not synonymous with being "funny", "humorous", or "telling good jokes".
Being "on the money" is not synonymous with being "rich", "wealthy", or having lots of "money".
Being "on the money" is not synonymous with being "profitable" or "successful".
This is the best answer here. If someone is "on the money", they are "precise", "accurate" or "perfectly correct". This is a good way to describe Icarus! Another example: "I was right on the money when I suggested that we should invest in Moogle stocks in 2002".
