This sentence uses the verb to 'stretch' correctly. The expression to 'stretch one's muscles' refers to warming the muscles up by physically extending the body (usually to avoid injury). The verb 'to stretch' often describes the physical extension of the body. This use of the verb 'to stretch' is different from Candy's use of the term in the broadcast.
This is an incorrect choice. We cannot use the term 'to stretch' when referring to being able to 'access' or 'touch' something. A better choice here would be 'I can't reach the salt'.
This sentence uses the verb to 'stretch' correctly. The expression 'to stretch (to 100,000 euros)' is often used when negotiating the price of something, and refers to extending your financial limit. Example: I only want to pay 600 euros for a new car, but I can stretch to 700 euros if necessary. This use of the verb 'to stretch' is different from Candy's use of it in the broadcast.
This sentence uses the verb to 'stretch' correctly, in the same way that Candy uses the verb in the broadcast. In this example, the term refers to the extension of the Christmas lights from one point to another, across the street. When Candy tells Brent and Moira that Tornado Alley 'stretches from West Texas to North Dakota' she means that it 'covers' or 'extends across' the area between 'West Texas and North Dakota'. The verb 'to stretch' can be used to describe someone or something which 'covers' or spans a particular area or distance.
