1 surrounded: 'Surrounded' is the right answer. To be 'surrounded' is to be 'encircled'. In this broadcast, João says 'I am surrounded by a thousand samba dancers in sparkling costumes', meaning that a thousand dancers are all around him. In this particular exercise, we can imagine that a criminal has been 'trapped' or 'surrounded' by a group of policemen.
2 guess: 'Guess' is the correct answer. The verb 'to guess' shares a similar meaning with the terms 'to imagine', 'to suppose', or 'to conjecture'. For example, 'I can't possibly guess how old your dog is'. This term is often used idiomatically. In this broadcast, João tells Moira 'I want you to guess where I am', he is asking her to imagine or make a suggestion as to his location.
3 clues: 'Clues' is the correct answer. A 'clue' is an 'idea', a 'hint', or a 'suggestion'. When a detective looks for a 'clue', he is looking for evidence or an indication to help him in his investigation. The term 'clue' is often used idiomatically, such as in the expression 'I have no clue', meaning 'I have no idea' or 'I really don't know'. In this broadcast, João offers to give Moira 'a clue' as to his location.
4 unbelievable: 'Unbelievable' is correct. An 'unbelievable (story)' is one which is 'difficult to believe', 'improbable', or 'incredible'. It can also be used as a superlative term to say that something or someone was 'fantastic' or 'great', which is what João is expressing when he says that the Carnival atmosphere is 'unbelievable'.
