1 Inappropriate: This is the correct answer. "What do you want?" is an inappropriate way of speaking to someone in most contexts, professionally or personally. It is considered impolite and too direct.
1 Appropriate: This is not an appropriate way of asking a question to a customer.
2 Appropriate: "What can I do for you?" is a suitable alternative to "How can I help you", and is a very common way of offering help to a customer.
2 Inappropriate: This is not an inappropriate way of beginning a conversation with a customer.
3 Appropriate: "How can I be of assistance?" is an appropriate way of starting a conversation with a customer. "Assistance" is a synonym for "help". It is a good alternative to "What can I do for you?" and "How can I help you?".
3 Inappropriate: This is not an inappropriate way of offering to help a customer.
4 Appropriate: This is the correct answer. "To deal with (a problem)" is to attempt to resolve a problem or attend to it. Saying "let me deal with that" is a way to communicate to someone that you are going to help them.
4 Inappropriate: This is not an inappropriate way to begin a conversation with a customer.
5 Appropriate: This is correct. "To sort out (a problem)" is a common phrasal verb meaning to resolve a problem or to organize something. In the dialogue you've just heard, Becky offers to organize a special in-flight meal for Mr. Delavigne. She is going to "sort it out".
5 Inappropriate: This is not an inappropriate way of offering to do something for a customer.
6 Inappropriate: This is the correct answer. "I can make that for you" doesn't make sense in this context. The verb "to make" is generally reserved for creations, constructions etc: I made a cake, I made a mistake. The verb "to do" however, is generally used to describe actions performed in a more general sense. For example: -Can you help me reserve a flight? -I can do that!
6 Appropriate: This is incorrect. Remember that the verbs "to make" and "to do" are different in English. In this context, "I can do that for you" would be an appropriate choice.
