1 lucky: This is the best choice. "To be lucky" means to have "good fortune". Most people regard winning a lot of money by chance as a sign of good fortune.
2 sloppy: This is the best choice. "Sloppy" means "messy", "incoherent", or "disorganized". Someone can be a sloppy dresser, meaning they take no care with their personal appearance. Philip says that Jean's "use of poetic imagery" is "sloppy" meaning that he is unable to express himself in a coherent way.
3 sunny: This is the best choice. While "sunny" is used literally in weather forecasts to describe bright, cloudless conditions, it can also be used to describe bright, cheerful personalities or clothes.
4 dumb: This is the best choice. "Dumb" means "stupid" or "silly". Note that "dumb" is pronounced "dum" and literally refers to someone without the power of speech.
