“Tried to play it off” means someone attempted to downplay, ignore, or
hide the significance of something—usually an awkward, embarrassing, or problematic situation—by
acting like it wasn’t a big deal or pretending nothing happened.
For
example, if someone trips in
front of others and then laughs it off or acts like it was intentional, they are “trying to
play it off.”

"Interlace your fingers" means to weave your fingers together by crossing them, so the
fingers from one hand fit between the fingers of the other hand. It’s like
locking your fingers together.
For
example, when people hold hands tightly or clasp
their hands while thinking, they often interlace their fingers.
When
a nurse says "keep this elevated,"
they usually mean that the body part or area (often a limb like an arm or leg)
should be raised above the
level of the heart. This is often done to reduce swelling, improve circulation, or help
with healing after an injury or surgery.
For
example, if you have a sprained ankle, the nurse might tell you to keep your
foot elevated on a pillow to help reduce swelling and pain. Does that help
clarify it?
I
need you to form a
single-file line in
order of your arrival.
In
this context, "single-file line" means a line where people stand one behind the other,
in a straight line, not side-by-side or in multiple rows. Basically, everyone
lines up in just one row, like ducks walking one after another.
