Chinese in pictures: what is she doing, what is this?

A photograph, a question asked in Chinese, and four answers of which only one fits. Half the rounds are about what she is doing, half about the everyday life around her. Every answer, right or wrong, gives you the word, how it is read, what it means and its dictionary entry.

The round is played in your browser, so JavaScript has to be allowed. The word list below reads fine without it.
