Choose the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!

The pilot will make a scheduled stop in the Rocky Mountains.

This is a false statement. The pilot does talk about the Rocky Mountains, but he is not planning to stop there. In fact, he wants to get to Boston as quickly as possible and knows a shortcut over the Rocky Mountains. A "shortcut" is an alternative route that is quicker than the traditional one.

The plane is scheduled to land in Boston at 1.30AM.

This is a true statement. The pilot says "Our ETA in Boston is 1:30 AM, but again, I'll do my best to make it there by midnight." This means that the scheduled arrival time of the flight (ETA stands for "Estimated Time of Arrival") is 1:30 AM, however the pilot will try to arrive before midnight. To "land (a plane)" means to bring a vessel or vehicle to earth (terra firma).

The co-pilot (Randy) has never flown a plane before.

This is a true statement. During his announcement, the pilot introduces his co-pilot and says "we're happy to have him with us on his first flight". This means, incredibly, that the co-pilot is flying a plane for the first time in his life! "Flown" is the past participle of the irregular verb "to fly".

There is bad weather predicted for the flight to Boston.

This statement is not true. The pilot does not say that the weather is bad. He actually says "The weather looks good, although it is night time, and I can't see much." This means that he believes that there is no bad weather on the way to Boston, and secondly, that because it is dark outside (it is night time), he is not able to see the weather conditions properly.
