Fill in the blanks below with key terms from this portion of the article.
This term describes a company that is owned or controlled by another (parent) company. "We are a subsidiary 1 of Doodle Inc, and we respect their management's decisions and policies." (1st paragraph)

This term describes someone or something erratic, variable or unforeseeable. "The weather is unpredictable 2 in April, you never know whether it will rain or shine." (1st paragraph)
1 subsidiary: A "subsidiary" is a company whose voting stock is more than 50% controlled by another company (called a parent company). We read in the article that "it wouldn't surprise anyone to see Wang come away with a new western subsidiary to play with." This means that it wouldn't be unexpected to see Mr. Wang buy another company which would become a "subsidiary" of his parent company (Wang Industries).
2 unpredictable: An "unpredictable" person's actions cannot be predicted, anticipated or foreseen; they are inconsistent. For example: I have no idea what is going to happen, the future is unpredictable. In the article we read that Mr. Wang is "one of the most unpredictable players on the Chinese landscape", this means that no one is sure what Wang will do at any given moment.

1 thinks of his idea: This is the correct answer. The question "How does that sound?" is used to elicit someone's reaction or to ask someone what they think about a suggestion or point.
1 means by her suggestion: This is incorrect. "To ask what something means" is to ask what it signifies or what the sense is. Example: - What does the word "dictionary" mean? - I don't know, look in a dictionary.
1 intends to do next: This is incorrect. "To intend (to do something)" is to "mean" or "want" to do it. Example: I intend to run a marathon next month.
1 predicts will happen next: This is incorrect. "To predict (something)" is to make a prophesy or have an idea of the future. Example: I predict that Brazil will win the World Cup.
2 successful: This is the correct answer. Philip uses the phrasal verb "to blow open" to indicate that a perfume will have a "successful" effect on the German market and will create many new sales opportunities. In this context, the expression "to blow (wide) open" means to have a strong, explosive (positive) effect.
2 destructive: This is incorrect. In the context, Philip is not referring to a "destructive" effect or one which carries a negative connotation.
2 unpredictable: This is incorrect. An "unpredictable (effect)" is one which is "irregular", "uncertain" or difficult to determine.
2 guaranteed: This is incorrect. A "guaranteed (effect)" is one which is certain or sure.
