Q1

Question 1: What does the expression "It's not my cup of tea" mean in everyday conversation?

Question 1 options
"It's not my cup of tea" is a common British English idiom meaning something is not to your taste or you don't enjoy it. It's a polite and indirect way to express dislike.
Q2

Question 2: The expression "I can't stand it" means you like something so much that you can't stop doing it.

Question 2 options

Q3

Question 3: You're shopping for clothes with a friend. She tries on a dress and asks your opinion. You think it looks great. What do you say?

Question 3 options
"It looks fantastic on you!" is enthusiastic, natural, and supportive — exactly what a friend expects when asking for an opinion while shopping. The other options are either too vague, too formal, or oddly phrased.
Q4

Question 4: Which sentence sounds most natural when telling a friend you really enjoy playing guitar?

Question 4 options
"I'm really into playing guitar" uses the natural colloquial expression "be into something," which is common in casual conversation to express strong interest. The other options sound stiff, overly dramatic, or unnaturally formal.
