Could you please grade these word-combinations in accordance with a 4-grade scale, where 4 stands for the most correct phrase and 1 for the most incorrect? E.g.: true newcomer - 1, true foreigner - 4, full newcomer/foreigner - 1

Thanks in advance to everyone who will try to help me
Work with the context. Do not get hung up on a specific word. Check your dictionary - foreigner versus newcomer. How does full/true/complete relate to the person?
