Bob writes: "I think there's a good kung-fu movie on cable tonight, so we can just take it easy". What does Bob mean by this?
Bob writes: "I think there's a good kung-fu movie on cable tonight, so we can just take it easy". What does Bob mean by this?
"We can discuss our concerns" means "we can talk about our worries, or the issues". It is not synonymous with "we can just take it easy".
This is not at all what Bob is suggesting. He wants to relax by watching a film, not practice kung-fu.
Although this sentence uses the idiom "to take it easy", Bob is not expressing that it would be simple to find a kung-fu movie on cable.
This is the best choice here. "To take it easy" and "to relax" are very similar expressions, which mean "to be at ease" or "to rest". Bob suggests watching a kung-fu movie together.
This is incorrect. Bob is not expressing that he "wouldn't mind" renting a kung-fu movie, but rather that he and Sophie could relax by watching a kung-fu movie. To rent (a movie) means to order one (either on the internet or from a video shop), watching it for a period of time, then returning it afterwards.

Miss Stake doesn't care for tomatoes. What does this mean?
Miss Stake doesn't care for tomatoes. What does this mean?
The expression "I don't mind (tomatoes)" indicates that the speaker isn't bothered by tomatoes, or that they don't have strong feelings about tomatoes: they don't love them, nor do they hate them.
Miss Stake says that she doesn't "care for" tomatoes which expresses that she doesn't like the taste of tomatoes. The expression "I don't care for (something or someone)" indicates dislike or distaste on the part of the speaker. Example: I don't care for my wife's father because he always criticizes me.
The expression "I wouldn't mind (tomatoes)" is a polite expression which expresses that the speaker would in fact enjoy eating tomatoes. For example: "I wouldn't mind a glass of wine" indicates that the speaker actually wants a glass of wine.
"To care about something" is to have an interest in it. If Miss Stake "doesn't care about tomatoes" then she has no interest in them. The expression Miss Stake uses (I don't care for tomatoes) actually indicates her distaste for tomatoes. She is saying that she doesn't like tomatoes.
