1 body: This is the best choice here. In this context, the 'figure' refers to the shape of a person's body. Example: 'I have to practise yoga every day to keep my figure as elegant as this'.
1 face: This is incorrect. The terms 'figure' and 'face' do not share a similar meaning. A 'face' is the front of a person's head, where we can find the eyes, nose, and mouth. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
1 style: This is incorrect. The term 'style' refers to the way a person dresses or acts. Example: 'She has a very unusual style - she only wears pink!'. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
1 attitude: This is incorrect. The term 'attitude' refers to a 'manner' or 'approach (to life)'. Example: 'I'm exhausted by my daughter's bad attitude'. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
2 players: This is the best choice here. In this context, 'figures' shares a similar meaning with 'personalities', or well-known 'people'. For example: Nelson Mandela is a key figure in the human rights movement.
2 politicians: This is incorrect. While a politician can be described as a 'key figure', the term 'figure' is unrelated to politics and politicians specifically. Furthermore, there isn't really a politicians industry.
2 mathematicians: This is incorrect. Although, in a different context, a figure can refer to a number or statistic, the use of the term in this example does not refer to any specific profession, but rather to a person of importance.
2 designers: This is incorrect. Although 'a figure' might describe a drawing or a 'design' in another context, the use of the term in this example does not refer to any specific profession, but rather to a person of importance.
3 statuettes: This is the best choice here. In this context, 'figures' are small pottery statues or sculptures.
3 plates: This is incorrect. A 'plate' is a shallow dish used for serving and eating food. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
3 faces: This is incorrect. A 'face' is the front part of a person's head, where we find the eyes, nose, and mouth. The term 'faces' is unrelated in meaning to 'figures'.
3 drawings: This is incorrect. 'Drawings' are 'sketches' or 'images' made in pen or pencil, usually on paper. Example: 'My son John made a lovely drawing of his pet rabbit at school today'. This is unconnected with the term 'figures' in this context, although in another context, a 'figure' could be an image or representation.
4 numbers: This is correct. In this context, the term 'figures' refers to 'numbers' or 'statistics'. This is the same meaning of the term as Icarus used in the text.
4 details: This is incorrect. 'Details' are the 'particulars' or 'small parts' of an item or idea. Example: 'The details in this picture are beautiful', 'I don't want to know the details of your love life!'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 plans: This is incorrect. 'Plans' are 'projects' or 'schemes' for the future. Example: 'I don't think Charles has plans to marry'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 answers: This is incorrect. The term 'answer' refers to a 'response' or a 'reply'. Example: 'Your answer to question one is very surprising'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 small pear-shaped fruits: Yes! Oh wait...no! 'Figures' are unrelated to 'figs', which are fruits from any tree of the 'Ficus' family. I saw a fig tree once, in Corfu. In Biblical times, fig leaves were used to cover our collective shame.
