1 fist: This is correct. A "fist" is a closed hand, the fingers forming a tight ball. "To punch" means to hit or strike someone with a fist. Example: Boxers punch each other in the face. Note: the verb "to punch" is exclusively reserved for "fists" - it is not used with other weapons.
1 knife: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a knife!
1 gun: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a gun!
1 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to punch someone with!
2 knife: This is correct. "To slash" is to cut with a violent (and quite random) sweeping stroke with a sharp blade, most commonly a knife or sword. We use "knives" (with forks) to cut our food into pieces. A "sword" is an "epee" - a long, straight weapon used by knights and pirates! Ah-ha!
2 fist: It is impossible to "slash" using a fist - even if you are Bruce Lee!
2 gun: We can't "slash" with a gun. But you can "strike" or "hit" someone with a gun (if you don't want to make a mess shooting them!).
2 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to slash someone with!
3 gun: This is correct. We "shoot" with a gun. Example: Warbuckle shoots bears! "To shoot" is an irregular verb (shoot/shot/shot). A single act of shooting is called a "(gun) shot".
3 knife: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a knife!
3 fist: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a fist!
3 feather: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a feather!
4 feather: A "feather" is a plume - one of the soft, flat structures that covers a bird's body. Example: My pillow is made of goose FEATHERS. 'To tickle is to move your fingers (or another soft object) over a person's skin so that they laugh. Feathers are perfect for tickling feet!
4 knife: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a knife, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 gun: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a gun, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 fist: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a fist, but it is easier to use a feather!

Horatio uses the expression "to stab someone in the back".
To stab literally means to pierce with a blade.
pierce with a blade: This is correct. To "stab" describes "thrusting" or "plunging" a blade (such a "knife" or a "dagger", for example), usually into someone's body. For example: The woman was stabbed seven times with a knife but survived. The verb here is used as part of the expression "to stab someone in the back", which describes the act of "betraying" someone.
slap with the hand: This is incorrect. "Stabbing" describes "piercing", not "slapping", which is usually done with the palm or back of one's hand. Did you know: the expression "to give someone a slap (or pat) on the back" means to congratulate them.
say bad things: This is incorrect. "Stabbing" describes "piercing", not "saying bad things". Did you know: the expression "to say (or do) something behind someone's back" is to do it without the knowledge or approval of another.
scratch: This is incorrect. "Stabbing" describes "piercing", not "scratching", which describes rubbing, scraping, or tearing with something sharp or rough on the surface of something. Example: Can you scratch my back? I have an itch.
punch with the fist: This is incorrect. "Stabbing" describes "piercing", not "punching", which describes hitting or striking someone with a closed "fist" (the hand in the form of a ball). Example: I was in the supermarket and somebody punched me in the face. It was weird, then I forgot to buy onions.

1 strike: This is the correct answer. The verbs "to hit" and "to strike" are often used to describe an adverse event (such as a storm or earthquake) affecting or coming into violent contact with a place. Example: The tornado hit (or struck) the town last night. Both verbs are irregular: hit/hit/hit and strike/struck/struck or stricken.
