Übung 1
What is the meaning of the phrase, "One of my assistants came across your application"?
What is the meaning of the phrase, "One of my assistants came across your application"?
To "come across" does not mean to "file". Also, Delavigne submitted an application, and not an appeal.
To "come across" does not mean to "alter". Also, this assistant would probably be out of a job if they tried such a thing.
"To come across" means to "find by chance" or to "happen upon". One of Mayor Flimshaw's assistants found Delavigne's application by chance. This is the best choice here.
This is not what the mayor says. Flimshaw says only that one of his assistants "came across" Delavigne's application, but no one made a decision about it. Also, normally an assistant does not have the power to refuse an application.

"You might also have come across an email with the subject...". --> You may have found 2 this email.

1 preserve: This is the right answer. "To preseve" and "to recover" are synonymous in this context: Both terms indicate that data was "found" and "not lost". Note that in a different context, a person can also "recover" from an illness.
1 forward: This is not the right answer. "To forward (an email, a video)" means to send it on to a new person. Example: "Can you forward me the whole conversation? I want to see all the emails both of you wrote". This does not mean the same thing as "to recover".
1 send: This is not the right answer. "To send (data, an email)" is to
2 found: This is the best choice here. "To come across (a dead body)" is to find it by chance. Bob's sentence "you might have... come across an email" means "you might have found, seen or read an email".
2 deleted: This is not the correct choice. "To delete" means "to erase", or to destroy. This is not synonymous with "to come across".
2 sent: A synonym for "to send" is "to transmit" or "to post", but not "to come across".
2 missed: This is incorrect. "To miss (an important clue)" is to ignore it or be unaware of it. The term Bob uses, "to come across", actually has a nearly opposite meaning.
3 proceed: This is correct. "To go ahead" is a phrasal verbs meaning "to proceed", "to act", or "to continue". Here are some more examples: "I went ahead and ordered you a drink: I hope you don't mind!", or "Horatio decided to go ahead with the project despite Bruno's request that he stop". "Proceed" and "go ahead" are synonymous in most contexts.
3 copy it: This is not the right choice. "To copy" means "to duplicate". It is not a synonym of "to go ahead".
3 consider it: This is not the right choice. "To consider (an offer)" is "to reflect on" or "to think about" it. It is not a synonym of "to go ahead".
4 disregard: This is the correct choice. "To disregard" means the same thing as "to ignore". If we "disregard" or "ignore" something, we do not pay attention to it. For example: "I had lots of good ideas in the meeting, but my boss ignored them all. He doesn't value my opinion".
4 forward: This is not the right answer. "To forward (an email, a video)" means to send it on to a new person. Example: "Can you forward me the whole conversation? I want to see all the emails both of you wrote". This does not mean the same thing as "to ignore".
4 paste: This is incorrect. "To paste" means "to stick". This term is often used in an IT context. For example, we talk about "copying and pasting text from one page to another". This is not synonymous with "to ignore".
