At the end of her email, Hannah writes "Could I drop by and see you one day this week...".
This means that --> She wants to pay Icarus a visit.
This means that --> She wants to pay Icarus a visit.
She wants to pay Icarus a visit.: This is the correct choice. To "pay someone a visit" is a more formal way of saying to "drop by" and see them. Other examples of to "drop by": "My neighbor dropped by to borrow some sugar last night" and "I need to drop by the doctor's on the way home to collect a prescription". We usually "drop by a place" (someone's house, the bank, the shops, etc.).
She wants to annoy Icarus.: This is incorrect. To annoy means to irritate or aggravate a person. For example, "You really annoyed me when you said I exaggerate. I've asked you a thousand times not to make personal remarks!" It does not mean the same as to "drop by".
She wants to quiz Icarus.: This is incorrect. To "quiz" is synonymous with to "question". For example: "He quizzed me for twenty minutes about my qualifications. I couldn't even remember what I'd written on my CV!" It does not mean the same as to "drop by".
She wants to take Icarus for a drink.: This is incorrect. To "drop by" does not mean to "take someone for a drink". Common ways of asking someone to go for a drink are "Do you fancy a quick drink?" or "Do you want to pop down to the pub?" or "Do you want to meet up for a drink?"
She wants to meet Icarus in secret.: This is incorrect. To "drop by" does not mean to "meet in secret". A good way of asking someone to meet you in secret is to ask them to meet you "on the quiet" or to ask them to "not breathe a word". Shhhh!
