1 What do you want to drink?: The question "what's your poison" asks about someone's choice or preference of alcoholic beverages. When someone asks you this question, they want to know what you want to drink.
1 What are you thinking about?: This question is unrelated to what someone is thinking about. "What's your poison?" is a question about one's beverage of preference.
1 Who should we kill?: Although this question does use the term "poison", it is unrelated to the idea of killing someone. "Poison" refers to one's drink here.
1 What do you do for a living?: The question asked by the cabbie refers to Jean's preference of an alcoholic drink. It is unrelated to the question, "what do you do for a living?" which asks about someone's profession in life. For example: -What do you do for a living? -I'm a carpenter.
1 What are your interests and hobbies?: The question asked by the cabbie refers to Jean's preference of an alcoholic drink. It is unrelated to hobbies or interests.
2 Don't be rude!: To be "cheeky" is to be "impertinent" or "presumptuous". This term is often used to describe someone who assumes too much when talking with a woman (or trying to seduce one!). Here the term is closest to "rude" in meaning.
2 Don't be greedy!: Being "cheeky" doesn't refer to being "greedy". Being greedy involves a hunger for excess (wealth, food, recognition etc.). Being "cheeky" refers to being impertinent, rude or presumptuous.
2 Don't be stupid!: Being "cheeky" doesn't refer to being "stupid" or unintelligent. Being "cheeky" refers to being impertinent, rude or presumptuous.
2 Don't be shy!: "Don't be shy" is a request for someone not to be scared, afraid or timid. The expression is often used to encourage someone to speak up or say what is on their mind. The term "shy" is synonymous with "timid". This expression is unrelated to what the cabbie is asking Jean however.
3 Let's drink a few beers!: To have a pint is to enjoy a "pint" of beer. A pint is the general unit of beer served in England, the United States and many other places. "To have a couple of pints" is to have two or three beers.
3 Let's go on a few dates!: A "pint" doesn't refer to a date, but rather to a beer in this context.
3 Let's get something to eat!: A "pint" doesn't refer to food, or something to eat, but rather to a beer in this context.
3 Let's have some fun!: Although "having a few pints" (drinking a few beers) is generally very fun, the meaning of these two expressions is quite different.
4 You've seduced me!: "You've pulled" is an informal, chiefly British expression meaning "you've succeeded in seducing me", or more accurately it expresses that a man or woman won't be going home alone on a given night. You understand, don't you?
4 You've got a strange accent!: This expression is unrelated one's accent or manner of speaking. This expression refers to a romantic interlude.
4 You've forgotten your coat!: This expression is unrelated one's coat, clothing or forgetting anything. This expression refers to a romantic interlude.
4 You're a funny little guy!: This expression is unrelated one's someone being funny or amusing. This expression refers to a romantic interlude.
4 You've got the right idea!: This idiom expresses that the speaker agrees with something which has been said or done by another person. The cabbie isn't telling Jean that "he has the right idea" but rather that she is interested in him, and that there is a strong possibility that she will be going home with him.
4 You're a bit pushy!: The cabbie isn't telling Jean that he is being aggressive or pushy, but rather that she is interested in him sexually.

What does Hannah do to make her remember her experience?
What does Hannah do to make her remember her experience?
This is the correct answer. Hannah says "in the middle of the night I often go to the fridge and bring out an ice cube, and put it to my cheek just to bring back those memories." An "ice cube" is usually put in cold drinks to make them colder. The "cheek" is the part of the face below the eye, between the nose and the ear.
This is incorrect. Hannah says "I bring out an ice cube, and put it to my cheek". She does not say that she eats a bowl of ice cream to make her remember her experience.
This is incorrect. Hannah says that during her experience in the woods "the only danger was the foxes". She does not say that she sleeps in fox holes to make her remember this experience.
This is incorrect. Hannah says that "in the middle of the night I often go to the fridge", however she does not say that she sits in the fridge to make her remember this experience.
