This is an incorrect choice. The verb "to shadow" in this context does not have any relation to night or day. Bruno gives no indication that Philip works at night.
This is a correct choice. "To shadow", in this context, means to accompany someone while they work in order to learn by observation. "Shadowing" is a common activity for new recruits or employees to learn the basic elements of their new job by observing and following someone else.
This is an incorrect choice. "To shadow" does involve observing someone, but there is no indication that Brian must "spy on" Philip or report back to Bruno. He is "shadowing" Philip in order to learn about his job.
This is an incorrect choice. "To shadow" does not mean "to work for" someone. Brian Jones has been hired to be Bruno's assistant. Bruno says: "I have made a decision on my new special assistant. Brian Jones is the man for the job."

1 shade: The term "shade" is a synonym of "hue" or "tint" or "type of color". A "shade (of a color)" is a variation of a color based on how light or dark it is (the amount of white or black mixed into it). Example: I think we need to paint the bedroom a lighter shade of blue.
2 dark: When describing a "shade" of a color, we use the terms "dark" and "light" to describe the comparative darkness (or lightness). In the dialogue, Bruno describes a "dark blue circle". This means that the blue of the circle has lots of black mixed into it, making it appear dark. Another example: Bruno has beautiful DARK brown hair.
3 light: As mentioned above, the terms "light" and "dark" are placed before colors to indicate their comparative darkness. In the dialogue, Bruno could have said, "light blue circle" if the circle had more white mixed into it. We also use "light" when describing hair. Example: Icarus has lovely light gray hair.
