Hannah asks Icarus how he envisages things for Christmas. Which verb or verbs from the list below could be used to replace "to envisage"?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is not a good choice here. Among many other meanings, to "face" means to "confront" or to "look in the direction of", and cannot be used to replace the term "to envisage". Example: "We have to face the facts; she's left home and is never coming back."
This is a correct choice here. The verb "to envisage" means to consider, to visualize, to suggest or expect a future result and is synonymous with "to foresee". "To foresee" is to predict a future possibility. Example: "If we have any more children, I can foresee the day when we'll have to buy a bigger house."
This is correct. The verb "to envisage" means to consider, to visualize, to suggest or imagine a future result and is synonymous with the term "to picture". Example: "I picture a future when everybody will live together in peace and harmony."
This is a correct choice. The verb "to envisage" is to suggest or expect a future result and shares a similar meaning with "to predict". "To predict" is to announce a result before it becomes a reality. Example: "When I started this job, I did not predict that I'd have to work every weekend."
This is not correct. "To deal with (a problem)" is to attend to it or address it. Example: "In my job, I have to deal with many different tasks, often at the same time." This does not share a similar meaning with "to envisage".
