There may be more than one.
This is a true statement. Bethany tells Donna that she is "doing great business" as well as "making a name for herself". Both of these statements indicate that Bethany is successful professionally at the moment. To "make a name for oneself" is to establish oneself (in a field or profession).
This statement is false. At no point in the dialogue does Bethany say she is going to "give up" her work or stop working "altogether" (or completely). Bethany is considering putting her career "on hold" if she decides to have her baby. To "put (something) on hold" is to delay or postpone it.
This statement is false. Bethany tells Donna that she is "working reasonable hours", which indicates that she is actually quite happy with her work schedule.
This statement is false. At no point in the dialogue does Bethany decide not to keep the baby. Bethany tells Donna "I don't know if I should keep the baby" which indicates that she hasn't made her decision yet.
This is a true statement. Bethany tells Donna "with a baby, I'll have to put my career on hold". To put (a career) "on hold" refers to taking a break from it, or stopping it temporarily. As Bethany tells Donna, her career is going well and if she stops now she "may never get back to where (she) was". One can also be put on hold by a telephone operator whilst waiting to be connected to someone. Example: -Hello, can I speak to Mr Delavigne please? -Certainly, please hold.

1 has changed her name: This is an incorrect choice. To "make a name for (oneself)" has nothing to do with changing one's name.
1 is happy professionally: This is an incorrect choice. To "be happy professionally" has nothing to do with "making a name for oneself".
1 has started her own business: To "start one's own business" is unrelated to "making a name for oneself", which refers to "establishing oneself professionally".

In other words, if she has a baby she will have to take a break from her career and it will affect her progress.
2 start her career over: This is an incorrect choice. To "put (something) on hold" does not refer to "starting it over" or "beginning it again".
2 resign : This is an incorrect choice. To "put (something) on hold" does not refer to "resigning", which is to officially terminate one's period of employment at a company. "Resigning" is usually the choice of the employee, though in some cases employees may be asked to resign by management.
2 retire: This is an incorrect choice. To "put (something) on hold" is unrelated to "retirement", which describes the act of discontinuing work. Example: The average age of retirement in America is 65.
3 you're having doubts: This is the correct choice. To have second thoughts refers to changing one's mind about a decision or course of action. In the dialogue Donna tells Bethany that "It's normal that (she's) having second thoughts". Donna is referring to the fact that Bethany wanted a baby but now she is pregnant she is not sure she wants to be a mother. In other words Bethany is having doubts or second thoughts about wanting to be a mother.

Why is Larkin MacFooFoo unhappy?
(Choose one or more of the following)
(Choose one or more of the following)
Why is Larkin MacFooFoo unhappy?
(Choose one or more of the following)
(Choose one or more of the following)
This is an incorrect choice. Larkin obviously values the Delavigne skin cream very highly because she "can't live without it". However, there is no evidence that this cream is "out of stock" or no longer produced by Delavigne.
This is a correct choice. When Bruno answers, Larkin says she has been "waiting on hold for 15 minutes". This means she has been waiting to be connected (probably listening to classical music!) for a quarter of an hour! Larkin shows she is unhappy by saying "finally" when Bruno answers.
This is a true statement. Larkin ordered a tube of skin cream in the morning and is upset that it still hasn't arrived! Bruno reassures her that "shipping (or delivery) can take two to three days".
This is an incorrect choice. A Delavigne product hasn't damaged Larkin's skin. In fact, Delavigne skin cream has a positive effect on Larkin's beauty because it stops her from getting "dry skin". Having "dry skin" mans that your skin is dehydrated.

1 noon: "Noon" is the best choice. "Noon" means "midday" or "12 o'clock" or 12.00 PM.
2 on hold: "On hold" is the right answer. To be "on hold" means to be "waiting on the line". In customer services we can often ask customers to "hold the line" if we are dealing with an enquiry or putting them through to someone else who can answer their questions.
3 shipped: "Shipped" is the term we were looking for. When an order is "shipped" it is "sent" to the customer. "Shipped" is usually used in the context of sending an order to foreign customers living abroad. However, things can also be shipped within one country, and they may not take a "ship" or "boat" at all! Example: "Shipping for this order within the US costs $6".
4 business days: "Business days" is the right answer. "Business days" are the days of the week we work. In many countries, this means Monday to Friday. We also refer to these days as "working days" or "the working week".
