Fill in the blanks below with terms used in the broadcast.

This adjective means 'encircled' or 'encompassed'.
'You are surrounded 1 by the police on all sides - there's no escape!'

This verb means to 'imagine', 'suppose', or 'conjecture' about something.
'You'll never guess 2 what I'm planning to do... You'll never imagine what it is!'

This noun describes a 'hint', 'suggestion', or 'indication'.

This adjective describes something which is 'extraordinary', 'improbable', or 'incredible'.
'The story that Pinocchio told me was totally unbelievable 4. There's no way that a talking cricket exists!'
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'.

1 tough: In this context, to be "tough" is to be mentally or physically strong (often with the capability of being violent). Example: He plays a TOUGH guy in the new movie. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are strong (or masculine) enough to wear TigerLily, which is a perfume intended for women. Note, in a different context, "tough" can mean "difficult". Example: That was a TOUGH exam.
2 enough: "Enough" is a synonym of "sufficient", "as much as necessary" and "adequate". Example: He's good ENOUGH at football to play for the national team. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are sufficiently "tough" to wear a feminine fragrance. Note: as demonstrated in the song, "enough" rhymes with "tough" and "stuff"!
3 wear: To wear something is to have something on your body, usually as a piece of clothing, but it can also apply to perfumes and fragrances. Example: I only WEAR perfume on days that I don't shower.
4 stuff: The term "stuff" can be used to refer to a substance when you do not know the name, when the name is not important or when it is obvious what you are talking about. Example: I'm sorry, but I think there's some brown STUFF on your shoes. In the song, Susie describes TigerLily as "girly stuff" because it is obvious that she is talking about TigerLily. If something is "girly", it is associated with females.
5 Put: "To put something" on (a part of your body) means to wear or "place" something on (a part of your body). Example: My girlfriend sometimes PUTS a bag ON my head because I am very ugly. In the song, Susie tells men to put it (=TigerLily) on their skin.
6 skin: "Skin" is the layer of tissue that covers and protects the body. Example: Every night I use moisturizing cream to make my SKIN soft.
7 smell: If you smell of (cigarettes), your body gives off an odor of (cigarettes). Example: I know you've been drinking - you SMELL of whisky!
8 unbelievably: The term "unbelievably" means "incredibly", "impossibly", or "improbably"; it is informally used to emphasize how good (or bad) something is. Example: The food at the restaurant was UNBELIEVABLY good (=very good). In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell unbelievably (or incredibly) powerful!
9 Powerful: To be "powerful" is to have great strength or force; "Powerful" people (like politicians) are able to control or influence people and events. In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell powerful!
