1 convince or persuade: This is the correct answer. Icarus asks Hannah and Philip to "twist his arm" meaning that he wants to be "persuaded" to show them his finance report. Other example: He was reluctant to get on the plane, so I had to twist his arm. "To twist (a cable)" is to turn or distort it.
1 irritate or annoy: This is incorrect. "To twist an arm" doesn't mean to irritate or annoy. "To annoy (someone)" is to make them angry.
1 compliment or praise: This is incorrect. "To twist an arm" doesn't mean to compliment or praise them. "To praise" someone is to commend them or express admiration or approval.
1 interest or fascinate: This is incorrect. "To twist an arm" doesn't mean to interest or fascinate someone.
2 can't wait: The expression "I can't wait (to see you)" means that you are excited or impatient about seeing someone. Hannah says that she "can't wait" to read Icarus's finance report. This means that she is eager to read the report. Another example: The water looks very calm, I can't wait to go swimming in the sea.

isn't interested in knowing : When Bruno says that he "doesn't care to know how Philip found out about the "proposal", he means that he isn't interested in knowing about Philip's methods of discovery. The expression 'I don't care to know" expresses disinterest on the speaker's part.
doesn't understand: Bruno is not expressing that he doesn't comprehend or understand how Philip discovered Susie's proposal, but rather that he is not interested in knowing how he did it.
wouldn't mind knowing: The expression "I wouldn't mind" would express that Bruno is actually interested in knowing how Philip discovered Susie's proposal, which is not the case.
