1 cheaply: "Cheaply" is a synonym of "inexpensively": both terms refer to low costs or prices.
2 fairly: "Fairly" is a synonym of "justly": both terms describe something "suitable", "appropriate" or "decent". Note that in a different context, "fairly" shares a similar meaning with "moderately" and "reasonably", as in "it's fairly cold today".
3 handling: In this context "to handle" is a synonym of "to manage": both terms describe the act of directing or "dealing with" a person, problem or thing.

This is correct. A "supervisor" is someone who is in charge of a department or unit. In a basic chain of command, a supervisor will serve under a manager who will in turn serve under the boss of the company.
This is incorrect. A "chef" describes a cook, or someone who cooks food for a living. Although a chef can be the head of a professional kitchen, the term is not generally used to describe someone in a position of authority (in the workplace, for example). The term "chief" or "head" is often used instead: chief of staff, head engineer, etc.
This is incorrect. A "patron (of a restaurant)" is a client or a regular customer of a restaurant. This term cannot be used to describe someone in a position of authority.
This is incorrect. A "responsible" is never used to describe someone in a position of authority and the term cannot be used as a noun. A better term to use is "manager" or "head".
This is correct. A "manager" is someone who is "in charge of" an organisation or a business. In large offices, a manager may be different to the boss, who is generally the owner of the company.
