Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer! Choose all that apply!
This statement is true. Philip wants Polly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Donna, probably only because he finds her attractive. Because he doesn't think this is a legitimate reason to schedule an appointment, he asks Polly to tell Dr. Donna about some "early childhood trauma", or to tell her that Philip wants to discuss his feelings.
This statement is false. Philip says that Dr. Donna is really "cute", meaning that she is attractive or pretty. He never refers to her being "smart" or "intelligent".
This statement is false. Philip suggests that Polly tell Dr. Donna about "some early childhood trauma", however this trauma never really occurred as Philip is trying to invent a reason for seeing Dr. Donna. Furthermore, Philip is likely referring to psychological trauma and not a physical injury.
This statement is false. Philip calls Dr. Donna "the new chick". Although a "chick" literally refers to a baby chicken, in this context it is a term used to refer to a woman. Note that the use of "chick" to refer to a woman is slang, and sometimes considered pejorative.
This statement is true. Philip says that he saw Dr. Donna in the lounge. A "lounge" is a type of waiting area where one can relax or rest. At a company, it is often a room with a coffee machine or snack machines. In an airport or train station, a lounge often includes a smoking area and lavatories.

Fill in the blanks below with the most appropriate terms from the text!

This term is an informal slang word for a woman, like "babe" or "doll", and it's quite disrespectful: "Sophie is a really hot chick 1. I wish she were my girlfriend".

The next word we're looking for refers to a "pseudonym", or friendly way of referring to someone: "I have such a cute nickname 2 for my boyfriend. I call him 'stud muffin".
1 chick: "Chick" is the right answer here. The term "chick" shares a similar meaning with "babe" or "gal", and is a casual, disrespectful way to refer to a "woman". Example: "There are so many gorgeous chicks at this party, I don't know where to begin!". Note that it is highly inappropriate for T-Bone to refer to Luna as a "chick"! Also, in a different context, a "chick" is a baby chicken!
2 nickname: "Nickname" is the right answer here. A "nickname" is a familiar name given to somebody close to you. It is often a term of endearment, or a shorter version of someone's real name. In this email, the candidate's real name is "Thomas Bonekowski", but his "nickname" is "T-Bone".
