1 ache: This is the right answer. An "ache" is a dull, continuous pain. It is usually used to describe pain felt in muscles, joints and bones, after strenuous exercise, for example. Note that we use "ache" to describe many different kinds of pain: headaches, stomach aches, etc.
2 stiff: The word "stiff" means rigid or difficult to bend. When one has a sore neck it is "tense", rigid or "stiff".
3 weed: A "weed" is a wild plant that grows where it isn't wanted. They often take over the ground around other plants and kill them. The act of removing these plants is called "weeding".
4 ground: The "ground" refers to the solid surface of earth. In this advertisement, the Supertrowel extends to reach the weeds "on the ground".

1 dark: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". A "dark" colour is one which is closer to black than white. "Dark" hair is usually black or brown. Blonde or white hair is "light" hair.
2 hair: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". "Hair" is what most people have on their head and body. Monkeys and other mammals also have a lot of hair.
3 tell: This is the correct term. Brian sings "I want to tell you all my secrets". To "tell (someone something)" is to inform them of something. Note that the verb "to tell" is not followed by the preposition "to".
4 share: This is the correct term. Brian sings about some secrets "I just can't share". In this context, the verb "to share" means "to relate" or "to communicate", for example: I'd like to share this idea with you.
5 earth: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an angel who came to earth". The "earth" is synonymous with the world or the planet (we live on). An "angel who came to earth" is one who has come from heaven to the world.
6 heaven: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "heaven". "Heaven" is a place of happiness, peace and bliss. In Christianity, "Heaven" is the home of God and the angels.
7 beak: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an eagle's beak". A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak.
8 although: This is the correct term. "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. "Although" is used to make a link between two things, and often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children.

1 best: "(The) best" is the superlative form of "good" (good, better, the best). Example: The Sopranos is better than Lost, but Star Trek is the best TV series ever! According to Edward, Delavigne is the best company on the Earth.
2 Earth: The Earth is the name of the planet we live on (unless of course you are doing your Gymglish in space!). Example: In Star Trek, by the year 2200 AD, the planet EARTH has become a utopia. Edward sings that Delavigne is "the best company on the Earth". That means that the company is pretty good.
3 else: "Else" is a common yet difficult word to master! In this context (no one else can compare to our worth), the "else" us added to emphasize the fact that "no one", or no other company, is as good as Delavigne. Another example: No one ELSE can make soup like my grandmother - ONLY my grandmother makes soup as good as that.
4 worth: Your "worth" is your value. It can be in terms of money, usefulness or importance. Edward thinks that "no one else can compare to Delavigne's worth", which means no other company can compete with Delavigne in terms of excellence or importance. Note: "worth" rhymes with "earth".
5 eat: To eat is to put food in your mouth and swallow so that it goes to your stomach - yum! Edward says that "(Delavigne) is going to eat the competition". This is a metaphorical way (I hope!) of saying that they are going to beat or out-compete other companies!
6 competition: The "competition" is rivals: people or companies that are competing against you. Example: Coke's principal COMPETITION is Pepsi. Edward wants "to eat the competition", which is an exaggerated way of saying he wants Delavigne to perform better than rival companies.
7 Beat: "To beat" is to strike forcefully and repeatedly. Example: My teacher BEAT me with a ruler because I forgot my homework. Edward sings that they will "beat (their) enemies into submission" (see more below). Note: "to beat" also means "to defeat". Example: Hannah BEAT the other candidates to get the job.
8 submission: "Submission" is the act of submitting to the power of another. "To beat someone into submission" literally means to use physical force to make someone surrender! Example: The Romans BEAT the Goths INTO SUBMISSION. However, this expression can be more metaphorical, meaning to make someone accept your conditions. Example: I didn't want to go and see Avatar, but my girlfriend finally BEAT ME INTO SUBMISSION.
