How many girls is Philip meeting for drinks?
How many girls is Philip meeting for drinks?
"A pair" refers to two objects, people, or ideas. In this case, Philip is meeting "a pair of the girls from downstairs". Occasionally, we refer to a singular object as "a pair", like "a pair of pants" or "a pair of glasses".
This is incorrect. Philip says he is meeting "a pair" of girls, which refers to "two" girls.
This is incorrect. Philip says he is meeting "a pair" of girls, which refers to more than one.
This is incorrect. Philip says he is meeting "a pair" of girls, which refers to "two" girls. Sometimes we use the term "a few" to refer to "three" objects, people or ideas, but it is imprecise and indicates a number around three.

At the end of this scene Donna has bought for the price of dollars.
In this scene, Donna and Brian are bargaining 1.
At the end of this scene Donna has bought 2 scarves 2 for the price of 400 3 dollars.
At the end of this scene Donna has bought 2 scarves 2 for the price of 400 3 dollars.
1 bargaining: This is the correct choice. Brian and Donna are bargaining, or negotiating on a price. To "bargain" is to negotiate the terms of an agreement or exchange. For example, "I was able to buy this beautiful Persian rug for almost nothing, but the shopkeeper bargained pretty hard. He told me that, at this price, his 12 children would be starving in the streets".
1 arguing: This is an incorrect choice. "To argue" in this context means to exchange differing views often in an angry way. Although Donna is a "hard bargainer" (a person who will go to great lengths to get her conversation-partner to agree to a price that's favorable to her), she is not actually having an argument with Brian. She's just trying to get him to lower his price.
1 flirting: This is an incorrect choice. To "flirt" is to make playfully romantic or sexual overtures. There's not much about this exchange that's playful or romantic.
1 fighting: This is an incorrect choice. Donna rather unreasonably offers $210 for the pair of scarves at one point, and Brian gets upset with her, saying, "Stop being so silly. If you can't negotiate like an adult, I won't consider you to be a serious customer". He is not fighting with her, though, but trying to get her to bargain with him more appropriately.
2 2 scarves: This is a correct choice. Brian originally wanted to sell the scarves individually for $300 per scarf, but eventually dropped his price to $400 for the pair. A "pair" is a set of two, and can be two of nearly anything - from a pair of aces (if you're playing poker) to a pair of Herpès scarves.
2 a pair of shoes: This is an incorrect choice. Donna actually buys scarves, not shoes.
2 a chair: This is an incorrect choice. "Pair" can sound a little like "chair", but they are very different things indeed.
2 a woman's suit: This is an incorrect choice. When Brian says, "I think they'd really suit you", he's telling Donna that the scarves would look nice on her.
2 nothing: This is an incorrect choice. Donna ended up buying both of Brian's scarves.
3 400: This is the final price which Brian and Donna agree upon.
3 500: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Brian initially wants to sell his scarves, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 200: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Donna initially proposes, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 215: This is incorrect. Although this is on of the prices Donna proposed by Donna, she eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
