1 a person who makes financial decisions in a family: A "head of household" is the family member who makes important decisions for the rest of the home. For example, it is usually this person who decides things such as which internet service provider, gas, and electricity companies to use. Speculative letters are often addressed to the "head of household" or "bill-payer", and cold callers usually ask to speak to this person too. A "household" is a "home".
1 a person who lives in house or apartment: The "head of household" does usually live in a house or apartment, but this is not their defining characteristic.
1 a person who runs or manages company: The term "head of household" is unrelated to managing a company.
1 a person of voting age: A person of voting age is 18 or over, but is not necessarily a head of household.
2 someone who wakes up early: The expression "the early bird catches the worm" is the origin of this idiom. The meaning is that those who get up early in the morning (like birds) get rewards (like worms!). Gertrude says that Bruno is an "early bird" because he will be meeting one of her company's representatives at 8.30AM.
2 a baby chicken: A baby chicken is called a "chick" and has nothing to do with the term "an early bird". Chicks are lovely, aren't they?
2 an enthusiastic person: Although getting up early is often a sign of enthusiasm, this does not define the term "an early bird".
3 a sales assistant: A "courtesy clerk" is a sales assistant. This term is generally used in American English, and often refers to an employee in a shop or store. The job involves assisting clients and customers, and encouraging them to buy products. This is the role of Gertrude Warner in this conversation.
3 a finance director: A "finance director" manages a company's monetary issues. This is unrelated to the term "courtesy clerk".
3 a polite person: The term "courtesy" can share a similar meaning with "politeness", but this is not appropriate here.
3 a scribe: Hundreds of years ago, the term "clerk" used to refer to a "scribe" or any literate person, often associated with the church. It is not appropriate here, however.
