1 has merit: This is correct. A "worthy cause" has merit, or is considered "worthwhile" or simply "good", for example: I always give money to worthy causes, such as leukemia research. The adjective "worthy" is a variation of the term "worth", which describes the "value" (literal or figurative) of a person, place or thing. Bruno tells Ursula that making changes to the office for environmental reasons is a good cause, but will be expensive.
1 is expensive: Although the term "worth" can describe the value of an object, action or person, a "worthy cause" doesn't refer to the expense or cost of the cause, but rather its "merit".
1 is unrealistic: The term "worthy" is unrelated to the feasibility or plausibility of an action.
1 is risky: The term "worthy" is unrelated to the risk or possible danger of an action.
2 cause: In this sentence, "one" refers to the subject of the second clause, "a cause". Bruno says that making changes to the office is costly, even if the changes are for a worthy "cause". As a general rule, a pronoun refers to a noun or proper noun established earlier in the text.
2 environment: The pronoun "one" refers to "a cause" in this sentence, not an "environment".
2 change: The pronoun "one" refers to "a cause" in this sentence, not a "change".
2 cost: The pronoun "one" refers to "a cause" in this sentence, not a "cost".
3 more prosperous: This is the correct answer. "(To be) better off" is to be "richer", "more prosperous" or "more fortunate" and "happier". Examples: "My sister is better off without her boyfriend, he is a horrible person", "After getting a job at the bank, I'm financially better off." Ursula suggests that her plan will improve Delavigne's finances.
3 more popular: This is not a correct definition of "better off". "Popular" means to be appreciated or liked by a lot of people.
3 more efficient: This is not a correct definition of "better off". "Efficient" shares a similar meaning with "productive", "successful", "competent", or "capable".
3 more famous: This is not a correct definition of "better off". A famous person or corporation is "well known" or known by many people.
