Bruno tells Horatio, "I think he 'means business."
Another way to express this is: 'I think he is quite serious.
Another way to express this is: 'I think he is quite serious.
is quite serious: This is the correct choice. The idiom "he means business" expresses that someone is very serious about something or "isn't joking around". Example: When my father told us to be quiet, we knew he meant business. The expression "he is quite serious" expresses a similar meaning to "he means business".
speaks his mind: "To speak your mind" is an expression meaning to speak honestly or freely. For example: Everyone in the company is permitted to speak their mind without fear of being judged. This idiom does not express the same meaning as "I think he means business".
has financial backing: "Financial backing" refers to financial support or "capital". Do not confuse Bruno's expression "he means business" with the noun "means", which can in fact refer to financial backing. For example: Bruno has the means to invest in several promising corporations if he chooses to do so.
is a cruel businessman: In the expression "I think he means business", "means" is being used as a verb and not as an adjective. As an adjective, "mean" can in fact refer to being "cruel" or "wicked".
is well connected: The expression "I think he means business" does not refer to being well connected, or having a network of contacts.
