Answer 1

I know the first three all mean the same. I can work out 4, 6 and 7 as meaning something like the first 3. However, I cannot work out 5. As it takes? Does not seem a complete phrase in Spanish maybe missing lo . I therefore vote number 5 as being incorrect or incomplete.

Well thanks Mardle. A little more time. - Polenta, Oct 10, 2017

Answer 2

I've never heard 1 or 5 but I think como tome is the odd man out.
