1 figures: This is the correct answer. A "figure" in this case refers to numbers. When Icarus goes over the "facts and figures" of the past financial quarter, this means he is reviewing the numerical details relating to the company's business during the past quarter (profits, losses, expenses, etc). The expression "facts and figures" is a common idiom.
2 quarter: This is the correct answer. In this context, a financial "quarter" is a period of time equal to one-fourth of the financial year.
3 upcoming: This is the correct answer. "Upcoming" is an adjective that describes something that will take place in the near future. The narrator says that the meeting will take place "next Monday", which is indeed in the near future.

1 body: This is the best choice here. In this context, the 'figure' refers to the shape of a person's body. Example: 'I have to practise yoga every day to keep my figure as elegant as this'.
1 face: This is incorrect. The terms 'figure' and 'face' do not share a similar meaning. A 'face' is the front of a person's head, where we can find the eyes, nose, and mouth. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
1 style: This is incorrect. The term 'style' refers to the way a person dresses or acts. Example: 'She has a very unusual style - she only wears pink!'. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
1 attitude: This is incorrect. The term 'attitude' refers to a 'manner' or 'approach (to life)'. Example: 'I'm exhausted by my daughter's bad attitude'. This is unrelated to the term 'figure'.
2 players: This is the best choice here. In this context, 'figures' shares a similar meaning with 'personalities', or well-known 'people'. For example: Nelson Mandela is a key figure in the human rights movement.
2 politicians: This is incorrect. While a politician can be described as a 'key figure', the term 'figure' is unrelated to politics and politicians specifically. Furthermore, there isn't really a politicians industry.
2 mathematicians: This is incorrect. Although, in a different context, a figure can refer to a number or statistic, the use of the term in this example does not refer to any specific profession, but rather to a person of importance.
2 designers: This is incorrect. Although 'a figure' might describe a drawing or a 'design' in another context, the use of the term in this example does not refer to any specific profession, but rather to a person of importance.
3 statuettes: This is the best choice here. In this context, 'figures' are small pottery statues or sculptures.
3 plates: This is incorrect. A 'plate' is a shallow dish used for serving and eating food. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
3 faces: This is incorrect. A 'face' is the front part of a person's head, where we find the eyes, nose, and mouth. The term 'faces' is unrelated in meaning to 'figures'.
3 drawings: This is incorrect. 'Drawings' are 'sketches' or 'images' made in pen or pencil, usually on paper. Example: 'My son John made a lovely drawing of his pet rabbit at school today'. This is unconnected with the term 'figures' in this context, although in another context, a 'figure' could be an image or representation.
4 numbers: This is correct. In this context, the term 'figures' refers to 'numbers' or 'statistics'. This is the same meaning of the term as Icarus used in the text.
4 details: This is incorrect. 'Details' are the 'particulars' or 'small parts' of an item or idea. Example: 'The details in this picture are beautiful', 'I don't want to know the details of your love life!'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 plans: This is incorrect. 'Plans' are 'projects' or 'schemes' for the future. Example: 'I don't think Charles has plans to marry'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 answers: This is incorrect. The term 'answer' refers to a 'response' or a 'reply'. Example: 'Your answer to question one is very surprising'. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'figures'.
4 small pear-shaped fruits: Yes! Oh wait...no! 'Figures' are unrelated to 'figs', which are fruits from any tree of the 'Ficus' family. I saw a fig tree once, in Corfu. In Biblical times, fig leaves were used to cover our collective shame.

Remember that there may be more than one correct answer!
Which of the following information or items does Bethany tell Philip to include in his letter?
Remember that there may be more than one correct answer!
Bethany does not advise Philip to include this notice. In fact, she tells him to state that he has the "intention to commence legal action against the debtor". This legal action has not yet begun, although it will if the situation is not resolved.
Philip should include this information in his letter. Bethany tells Philip to note "the total amount owed to (his) company", referring to the full amount of money that the client needs to pay. To "owe (Bruno some money)" means to "be in debt (to Bruno)" or to "need to pay (Bruno)". A "figure" is a value expressed in numbers, e.g. 64, or 456,061.
This is one of the things Philip should include in his letter. Bethany says that the letter "should detail all prior communication that (Philip has) had with the client". This means that Philip should include a list of the contact he has had with his difficult client. "Prior (correspondence)" refers to "past" or "previous" correspondence. This may include letters, emails, faxes, or phone calls.
Philip should include this in his letter. Bethany tells him to include "the outstanding invoices", which means that Philip should send the clients copies of the bills which have not yet been paid. An "outstanding bill" is money owed for goods or services, which remains to be paid.

Susie is upset (angry and unhappy)! Why?
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below. Select all the reasons that Susie gives for being unhappy!
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below. Select all the reasons that Susie gives for being unhappy!
This statement is true. Susie announces that she doesn't appreciate Philip's "sexual innuendos and constant comments" on her body and clothes! This is one of the reasons that Susie is upset and unhappy with Philip. In this context, "figure" and "body" are synonymous.
This statement is true. When Philip declares that Susie "loves it" when Philip stops by for chats, Susie responds that she in fact "hates" or "detests" when Philip visits. This is one of the reasons that Susie is upset or unhappy with Philip.
This statement is false. Luna hasn't taken anyone's side in this discussion, she simply wants to hear what Susie has to say about Philip. "To take someone's side (in an argument)" is to support one person's argument or to favor one point of view over another.
This statement is false. At no point in this dialogue does Susie say that Philip has touched her, either appropriately or inappropriately. "To be angry (at, with someone)" is to be mad at them or upset with them.
This statement is true. Susie tells both Philip and Luna that she is sick of Philip's "stupid sexist nicknames". In this dialogue, Philip uses several "nicknames" (familiar or affectionate terms for a person or object) for Susie and Luna, including "honey bunch", "pussy cat", "sugar pie", "Mamacita" and more. Philip even refers to himself as "Daddy"! To be "sick of (a person)" is to be tired of them or frustrated with them.

Rose tells us a lot about herself in this dialogue.
From the list below, select the TRUE statement(s) about Rose. There may be more than one correct answer!
From the list below, select the TRUE statement(s) about Rose. There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a false statement. Rose says "all I need is some of your sperm", and that she will "raise (the child) on (her) own". She tells Icarus that he doesn't have to "stick around" once the child is born. To "stick around" is to stay. Rose is telling Icarus that he doesn't have to stay with her to raise the child.
This statement is not true. Rose describes herself as "a former model". This means that she was a model in the past, but she no longer is. Another example: "I once dated a former boxer: it was quite an experience".
This is a true statement. Rose says "I earn a six-figure salary", meaning that the amount of money she is paid is at least one hundred thousand dollars. The expression "six-figure (number)" refers to a number containing six digits (like 784,812 or 533,890). Example: "I've bought a book that explains how to get a six-figure income".
This statement is true. Rose tells Icarus that she has her "own two-bedroom apartment". This means that the apartment belongs to Rose; it is hers. A "home-owner" is someone who owns their home (they have bought the house or apartment that they live in), and a "dog-owner" has a pet dog!
