This is an incorrect use of 'awfully'. 'Awfully' is an intensifier, and shares a similar meaning with the term 'very' in this context. An adjective such as 'okay', which is neutral, cannot be intensified. One could describe something as 'awfully good' or 'awfully bad', but it is extremely unnatural to say that something is 'awfully okay'.
This is a correct answer. Here, the word 'awfully' shares a similar meaning with the terms 'poorly' or 'badly', and describes someone's bad behaviour at the opera. This is one of the principal meanings of the term 'awfully', though it is not the way that Moira uses the term in this broadcast.
This is a correct answer. Here, the word 'awfully' is being used in the same way as in the audio clip, when Moira says 'it's awfully noisy', meaning that it is very loud at the Carnival. In this context, 'awfully' shares a similar meaning with 'very': it is an intensifier.
This is an incorrect use of 'awfully'. Because 'awfully' is an adverb, it cannot be used to describe a person. In this sentence, an adjective is needed. The correct sentences should be 'You're awful! I wish you would tidy your room!'. The verb 'to tidy' means to 'clean' or 'arrange'.
