1 cheapest: 'Cheapest' is the superlative form of the adjective 'cheap'. Because it only has one syllable, we create the superlative form by adding 'est' to the end of the word.
2 best: 'Best' is the superlative form of 'good'. The adjective 'good' is irregular in its comparative and superlative forms. Good / Better / Best
3 hottest: 'Hottest' is the superlative form of 'hot'. When constructing the comparative and superlative forms of many short adjectives, we must often double a consonant to spell the word properly.
4 most absurd: 'Absurd' has more than one syllable, so it takes 'most' in the superlative form.
5 worst: 'Worst' is the superlative form of 'bad'. It is irregular in the comparative and superlative forms. Bad / Worse / Worst.

1 saddest: 'Saddest' is the superlative form of the adjective 'sad'. Generally, we create the superlative form of short (monosyllabic) adjectives by adding 'est' to the end of the term. A 'sad' person is unhappy.

3 most beautiful: 'Beautiful' is a long (polysyllabic) adjective, so it requires 'most' or 'least' in the superlative form. NOTE: This is only a general rule, and there are a number of exceptions. For example 'happy' can change to either 'happiest' or 'most happy' in the superlative form, even though it is long (polysyllabic).
4 cheaper: 'Cheaper' is the comparative form of the adjective 'cheap'. Generally, we create the comparative form of short (monosyllabic) adjectives by adding 'er' to the end of the term. A 'cheap' object is inexpensive or doesn't cost very much.
5 more attractive: 'Attractive' is a long (polysyllabic) adjective, so it requires 'more' or 'less' in the comparative form. NOTE: This is only a general rule, and there are a number of exceptions. For example 'happy' can change to either 'happier' or 'more happy' in the superlative form, even though it is long (polysyllabic). An attractive man is good looking.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a false statement. Spencer recommends a "pricey" perfume, which is "expensive": the opposite of "cheap".
This is not true. At the start of the dialogue, Spencer admires Hannah's scarf and asks her where she bought it. Hannah does not want to purchase a scarf. A "scarf" is a piece of material worn around the neck.
This is the only true statement. Spencer says "Just put it in your bag. I won't tell a soul", which means that he wants Hannah to take the "Eternal Summer" perfume without paying for it. He wants her to steal the perfume. He's very naughty, that Spencer!

1 expensive: "Expensive" is the best choice here. An expensive item is "dear" or "costs a lot of money". In the dialogue, Spencer uses the term "pricey", which shares a similar meaning with "expensive". Example: "I've bought myself an expensive bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday".
1 cheaper: "Cheaper" means "less expensive". It does not make sense to use this term here.
1 reasonable: A "reasonable" price is "not too expensive" or "decent value for money". It does not make sense to use this term to describe such an expensive perfume.
1 a bargain: A "bargain" is a "good deal" or "very good value" item. It does not make sense to use this term to describe such an expensive perfume.
2 reasonable: "Reasonable" is the best choice here. If something is "reasonable", it costs an "acceptable" or "moderate" sum: "not too expensive". The term "reasonable" describes something which is "good value". Example: "This hat was very reasonable - I'm so happy I found it!".
2 expensive: This price is not "expensive" compared to the "Pink Lady" perfume. In fact, it is cheaper.
2 pricey: "Pricey" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and was used by Spencer in the dialogue. This perfume is not "pricey" compared to the "Pink Lady" scent. In fact, it is cheaper.
2 dear: In a price context, "dear" shares a similar meaning with "expensive". This price is not "dear" compared to the "Pink Lady" perfume. In fact, it is cheaper.
3 cheap: "Cheap" is the best choice here. When an item is "cheap", it is "not expensive" or "does not cost much money". The "Forever Yours" perfume is the "cheapest" of the three because it costs the least amount of money. In the dialogue, Hannah asks Spencer if he has anything "cheaper" because she finds the first perfume to be too expensive. Example: "I only wear cheap clothes because I am very poor".
3 pricey: "Pricey" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and is not the best choice here.
3 dear: "Dear" shares a similar meaning with "expensive" and is not the best choice here.
3 expensive: An "expensive" item is one which costs a lot of money. This is not the best choice here.
