True or False? Bruno will pay for Sam's meal.
This statement is true. Bruno invites Sam to lunch, and then adds "my treat, of course". "It's my treat", or simply "my treat" indicates that the speaker will pay for something. "A treat" is a pleasure or something special, and this idiom expresses that one person will "treat" another to something.
This statement is not false.

The statement is false. Bruno proposes that the meeting take place at the Golden Elephant Palace, a Thai restaurant, however Badguy refuses saying that he is allergic to peanuts. Bruno and Badguy eventually agree to meet at "Ciao Bella Ristorante", an Italian restaurant.
This is a true statement. Bruno tells Badguy, "dinner is on you" which indicates that Bruno wants Badguy to pay for the meal. The expression "dinner is on me" expresses that the speaker will pay for the dinner.
This is a true statement. Badguy doesn't want to go to Golden Elephant Palace because he is "allergic to peanuts". Peanuts are a staple of Thai cuisine.
This statement is false. After Bruno insists that Badguy pay for the meal, Badguy accepts saying "Who do you take me for?" and then adding "of course dinner is my treat". "Dinner is my treat" is an expression which indicates that the speaker will pay for something, in this case a meal.

"Let's pay the bill. As I said, this one's on me"

How else could Philip say this? There may be more than one correct choice!
This is an incorrect choice. A "round" is when one person buys everyone (in their group) a drink. During an evening (in a pub, for example), the person who buys the drinks might alternate. "It's my round" means "I will buy the drinks (this time)". Example: Come on Hamish, I think it's your ROUND! "It's my round" is only used with drinks, and never for offering to pay for food in a restaurant.
This is a correct choice. "It's my treat", or simply "my treat" indicates that the speaker will pay for something. "A treat" is a pleasure or something special, and this idiom expresses that one person will "treat" another to something.
This is a correct choice. "To take care (of something)" is to make something your responsibility. Example: No need for you to organize food for the party - I'll TAKE CARE of it. Therefore, "to take care of a bill" is to pay the bill yourself.
This is an incorrect choice. In English, "to invite (someone)" is not used to offer to pay for something. We use "invite" to ask someone to attend a meal, a wedding or a party. Example: I'd like to INVITE you to my dog's funeral. "I'm inviting you" or "I'll invite you" is never used to say, "I'll pay for you".
