This statement is false. Bruno makes no such request. It is Brian who, calling on the intercom, says "I've changed into my boxing shorts just in case we need to settle this the old-fashioned way." Brian is telling Bruno that he has put on his boxing shorts in order to have a fight with Leonard. "To settle (an argument) the old-fashioned way" is an idiom that describes having a fight in order to resolve an argument. An "old-fashioned (person)" is traditional or from the "old-school".
This is an incorrect statement. Leonard says that "my comrade, a salesman, was even offered an improvisational comedy course." However he is not asking Bruno to provide comedy lessons for the Delavigne staff, he is actually using this example to illustrate how good and extensive the French system is for training employees.
This is a true statement. Although Bruno says that he is "more than happy to give "job-related" training to our employees" (training that is relevant to work), he does not feel that learning French is important for Delavigne Corp. The best indication of this is his question: "how can you tell me that French courses are vital to this company's needs?!".
This is a true statement. Leonard asks Bruno "Did you know that in France, every salaried employee is guaranteed 20 hours of professional training every year?" Leonard describes the advantages offered in France: "They have IT, management training, language courses, etcetera...". He then gives an example of how comprehensive the system is in France: "My comrade, a salesman, was even offered an improvisational comedy course." It is clear that he is impressed with what happens in France.

Susan writes that "a one size fits all approach is outdated and unsuccessful."
This means that "An advertising campaign which is is and ".
This means that "An advertising campaign which is is and ".
Susan writes that "a one size fits all approach is outdated and unsuccessful."
This means that "An advertising campaign which is the same for everyone 1 is old-fashioned 2 and likely to fail 3".
This means that "An advertising campaign which is the same for everyone 1 is old-fashioned 2 and likely to fail 3".
1 the same for everyone: This is the best choice here. The term "one size fits all" originally comes from the clothing industry. It is found on items of clothing (for example: dresses, t-shirts) which are only available in one size: they are the same for everyone, however big or small the person is. In her press release, Susie uses this expression figuratively. Another example: "I don't believe that a one size fits all system will be effective for our children's education".
1 too comprehensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "comprehensive", it is "complete" or "detailed". This does not share the same meaning as "one size fits all".
1 very expensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "very expensive", it costs a lot of money, or is "very dear". This does not share the same meaning as "one size fits all".
1 based on female sexuality: This is not the right answer. Although the Delavigne poster campaign does feature sexy model Ivana Bümbüm in a provocative pose, the expression "one size fits all" is unrelated to female sexuality.
2 old-fashioned: "Old-fashioned" shares a similar meaning with "outdated". Both terms refer to something which is "old" or "not modern", and are negative adjectives. Another example: "Your clothes are very outdated. You'll never get a new job when you look so old-fashioned".
2 costly: This is not the right answer. A "costly (item)" is an expensive or dear one: it costs a lot of money. This is unrelated to the meaning of "outdated".
2 too provocative: This is not the right answer. Something which is "too provocative" is "risqué" or even "outrageous", and excessively sexual in nature. Although the Delavigne poster campaign does feature sexy model Ivana Bümbüm in a provocative pose, this is unrelated to the term "outdated".
2 likely to succeed: This is not the right answer. If something is "likely to succeed", it will probably be successful or "do well". This is unrelated to the meaning of "outdated".
3 likely to fail: This is the best choice here. Something "unsuccessful" does not succeed: it "fails" or "doesn't work". Example: "My attempt to climb Everest was unsuccessful. What's more, my toes are very cold".
3 pathetic: This is not the right answer. Something "pathetic" is "pitiful" or it "makes us feel sorry for someone". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".
3 cheap: This is not the right answer. Something "cheap" is "inexpensive" or "doesn't cost much money". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".
3 offensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "offensive", it is "shocking" or "upsetting". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".

1 dull: Bruno says that the typeface looks "faded and dull". "Faded" shares a similar meaning with "dull". Both adjectives describe something which has lost its colour or brilliance. Example: My t-shirt is faded and dull, it used to be bright red, now it's pale pink. "Dull" also describes something that is lacking in liveliness or animation and is also synonymous with "boring" or "tedious".
2 amateurish: An "amateurish (film)" is one which is not professional or which appears to have been made by an amateur or an unskilled person. Susie says that Edward "wants to know why we're still using such an old-fashioned, amateurish design."
3 weak: "Weak" is the opposite of strong, and describes an absence of energy, strength, power, or ability. Bruno describe the logo's allusion to his grandfather as "weak", meaning that the reference to his grandfather isn't very strong.
