1 Everyone should act in a mature manner: "To be on one's best behavior" is a phrase meaning "to act in a mature and sensible manner." It is often said by parents to their children. "Behavior" (US) or "behaviour" (UK) is a term which describes the "comportment" or '
1 Everyone should dress well: Although dressing well is part of acting maturely, this choice does not define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior". "To dress (formally)" is to wear formal clothes, or to present oneself in formal attire such as a suit and tie or a nice skirt for example.
1 Everyone should finish all of their tasks: Finishing your tasks is always a good idea, but this sentence does not accurately define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior".
1 Everyone should come to work on time: While it is important to be punctual, this sentence does not best define the idiom "to be on one's best behavior". "To be on time (for a meeting)" is to arrive at the meeting in a punctual manner, or at the scheduled meeting time.
2 Let's maintain a professional atmosphere: To "keep things professional" is to maintain a professional atmosphere. The expression "let's keep things (informal)" describes the speaker's desire for an informal state or condition. For example: I know you don't like my brother, but please let's keep things cordial during the wedding. Polly is urging or encouraging the staff to behave professionally during Harold Warbuckle's visit.
2 Let's act like professionals for once: This isn't what Polly means when she urges the staff to keep things professional. The expression "for once" indicates that something doesn't happen regularly, or that it happens very infrequently. For example, "Why don't you do the dishes for once?" indicates that the person being spoken to rarely does the dishes!
2 Let's dance around like professional dancers: Yes, but no! So close! Polly isn't encouraging the staff to dance around like professional dancers.
2 Let's get professional help for this meeting: Polly isn't suggesting that the staff get professional "help", but rather that they act in a professional manner. "Professional help" is an expression often used to refer to "psychiatric" or "psychological" help. For example: You seem a little bit crazy, maybe you should get professional help.
