Explanation:

1. In the story, the Capitol's cruelty and indifference are prominent, and this makes Katniss more aware of the Games' brutality. The opulence doesn't directly make her more determined to win in that way, advanced - tech doesn't boost her confidence, and strict social rules aren't the main factor influencing her perception of the Games.
2. The Training Center has a competitive atmosphere as tributes train for the life - or - death Games, which intensifies the rivalry between Katniss and Peeta. Isolation doesn't force them to rely on each other, luxurious amenities aren't the main factor in their relationship, and strict rules don't prevent a bond as much as the competitive nature does.
3. Peeta asking to be coached separately shows the complexity in their relationship as it indicates some level of distance or differing strategies. The other quotes don't relate to their relationship complexity.
4. Describing the Capitol as "artificial candy" implies a focus on pleasure and indulgence, a lack of genuine emotion and connection, and that its beauty is superficial and deceptive.
