"I've read your resumé and I must say I was rather impressed".

Which of the following sentences is a valid alternative to "I was rather impressed"?
This is incorrect. "Slightly" expresses that Luna was "just a little bit impressed". Luna's statement that she was "rather impressed" expresses a stronger sense.
This is incorrect. "I had better be impressed" suggests that Luna is demanding that someone or something impresses her.
This is the best choice here. "Quite" and "rather" are interchangeable adverbs and generally share the same meaning (less than "very" but more than "a little"). When Luna says "I was rather impressed", she is saying that the resumé was impressive.
This is incorrect. "Extremely impressed" expresses a stronger sense of "being impressed" than "rather impressed". "Rather" and "extremely" are not interchangeable in this context.

This statement is false. In his letter to Bruno, Kevin writes: "I imagine that you may have some free time on Thursday", however this is the only day of the week which Bruno is "available" (or has time to meet). Kevin details all of Bruno's obligations throughout the week in his email.
This statement is false. Kevin never "apologizes" or excuses himself for his behavior. The only reference he makes to his previous email is the first line: "Regarding our talk the other day". This is a common way to open a conversation, letter or email in order to refer to a previous conversation. "Regarding" is synonymous with "concerning" or "about" in this context.
This is a true statement. Kevin writes that Bruno typically reserves Tuesdays for his meeting with Susie.
This is a true statement. Kevin writes that Horatio speaks with spirits on Thursdays, so perhaps Thursday would be a good time for Kevin and Bruno to talk.

1 quite: This is correct. "Rather" is synonymous with "quite", "somewhat", or "a little" in this context. For example: "It was rather dark in the office after we turned off the lights".
1 hardly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "hardly". "Hardly" means the same thing as "barely", "only just", or "not very much". For example: "You've hardly eaten anything! Are you sick?"
1 instantly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "instantly". "Instantly" means "immediately" or "right away".
2 considered leaving: This is the correct answer. "To contemplate" and "to consider" are synonymous in this context. Both terms mean to "think about" or "reflect" on/about something. For example "My brother is contemplating moving to France for his job".
2 decided to leave: This is incorrect. "To decide to do something" is to "make a decision" that you will do it. This expresses certainty, whereas when you "consider doing something", you are not sure if you will do it.
2 wanted to leave: This is incorrect. "To want to" is not synonymous with "to contemplate". If somebody is contemplating doing something, they don't know whether they want to do it or not yet.
3 stay: This is the right choice. "To remain" and "to stay" are synonymous in this context. For example: "I know I slept with your wife, but I hope we can remain friends."
3 be discussed: This is not the correct choice. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to discuss". If a topic is "discussed", then it is "talked" or "spoken" about. For example: "Brian's schedule needs to be discussed in the morning meeting!".
3 be understood: This is not the right answer. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to understand"."To be understood" is "to be comprehended". For example: "The rules of the office need to be understood by all employees".
