Answer
1 → Conversation 2
- they have machines which can swipe the card (here, swipe means to pass a plastic card through a piece of equipment that reads the information)
- it could’ve been when I bought those new trainers on the internet
- That must be a relief (that = the fact that she’ll get the money back)
2 → Conversation 3
- Why would you want a whole stuffed elephant? (stuffed = filled with a material so that the animal is preserved)
- It’d be a bit of a shock (it = finding live crocodiles in a bathroom)
- I suppose he must’ve drugged them (them = the crocodiles and lion)
3 → Conversation 1

- Fortunately not (= not much in my bag)
