Barbara informs Philip that many perfume stores have greatly reduced the cost 1 of their products.
Barbara suspects the distributors have authorized 2 this decision.
1 greatly reduced the cost: This is correct. The expression "to slash prices" expresses a dramatic reduction in cost. Barbara says that her competitors are lowering the prices of their perfumes, probably because they have been asked to do so by perfume distributors Kalvin Krime and Grevelon.
1 slightly reduced the cost: The idiom "to slash prices" suggests a significant reduction in price, not one which is "slight" which means "small", or "minor".
1 greatly increased the cost: The idiom "to slash prices" expresses a decrease or reduction in price, not an increase (a "rise").
1 slightly increased the cost: The idiom "to slash prices" expresses a decrease or reduction in price, not an increase (a "rise").
2 authorized: This is the best choice here. Barbara says that she "assumes that there's been approval from the distributors". This suggests that Barbara believes that the distributors (Kalvin Krime and Grevelon) have authorized this decision.
2 rejected: Barbara gives no indication that the distributors have "rejected" this decision. Barbara believes the opposite, in fact.
2 criticized: Barbara gives no indication that the distributors have "criticized" this decision.
2 financed: Barbara gives no indication that the distributors have "financed" this decision.

1 fist: This is correct. A "fist" is a closed hand, the fingers forming a tight ball. "To punch" means to hit or strike someone with a fist. Example: Boxers punch each other in the face. Note: the verb "to punch" is exclusively reserved for "fists" - it is not used with other weapons.
1 knife: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a knife!
1 gun: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a gun!
1 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to punch someone with!
2 knife: This is correct. "To slash" is to cut with a violent (and quite random) sweeping stroke with a sharp blade, most commonly a knife or sword. We use "knives" (with forks) to cut our food into pieces. A "sword" is an "epee" - a long, straight weapon used by knights and pirates! Ah-ha!
2 fist: It is impossible to "slash" using a fist - even if you are Bruce Lee!
2 gun: We can't "slash" with a gun. But you can "strike" or "hit" someone with a gun (if you don't want to make a mess shooting them!).
2 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to slash someone with!
3 gun: This is correct. We "shoot" with a gun. Example: Warbuckle shoots bears! "To shoot" is an irregular verb (shoot/shot/shot). A single act of shooting is called a "(gun) shot".
3 knife: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a knife!
3 fist: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a fist!
3 feather: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a feather!
4 feather: A "feather" is a plume - one of the soft, flat structures that covers a bird's body. Example: My pillow is made of goose FEATHERS. 'To tickle is to move your fingers (or another soft object) over a person's skin so that they laugh. Feathers are perfect for tickling feet!
4 knife: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a knife, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 gun: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a gun, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 fist: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a fist, but it is easier to use a feather!
