What is your answer?

Suppose that you define "good" to mean "pleasureable." Moore would object that

    { 1 } - it's significant to ask, "Are pleasurable things always good?"
    { 2 } - both "good" and "pleasurable" are indefinable, and hence we can't know if they are the same or different.

1 is correct!

Suppose that you define "good" to mean "pleasureable." Moore would object that

By your definition, this question would mean "Are pleasurable things always pleasurable?" But the question doesn't mean this -- since we could consistently answer either YES or NO. So "good" and "pleasurable" have distinct meanings.

2 is wrong. Please try again.

Suppose that you define "good" to mean "pleasureable." Moore would object that

    { 1 } - it's significant to ask, "Are pleasurable things always good?"
    { 2 } - both "good" and "pleasurable" are indefinable, and hence we can't know if they are the same or different.

Huh?

Moore argues that we can know that they are different notions.
