Which of the following statements is FALSE?
This is a true statement. Rachel tells Bob that his cooling system "could be malfunctioning", which means that it is not working properly.
This is a true statement. Rachel tells Bob that she will "have it back within 48 hours", which means that Bob's server will be repaired and returned to him in less than two days (which is less than a week).

Übung 2
Polly says that their server by a service representative.
Polly says that their server has been taken away by a service representative.
has been taken away: This is the best choice here. Polly says: "our server was picked up by one of your service representatives". To "pick up" means that someone has come to the Delavigne offices and taken the server away to be repaired. Note that "was picked up" is in the passive form.
will have taken away: "Will have taken away" is in the active voice, and the future perfect tense. This is incorrect because in the dialogue Polly uses the passive voice in the past tense.
is being taken away: "Is being taken away" is in the passive voice, and the present continuous tense. This is incorrect because in the dialogue Polly uses the past tense.
has taken away: "Has taken away" is in the active voice, and the present perfect tense. This is incorrect because it would mean that the "server" picked up the "representative".

"I'll buy him a bottle of whiskey to make up for it" = Bob will buy a bottle of whiskey .
"We could postpone the meeting" = Bob wants to the meeting.
"I can't find anyone else to take him". = In the context of his email, Bob can't find anyone to his son.
Choose the best definition for each expression from Bob's email.
"I won't be able to make it to the meeting" = Bob cannot attend 1 the meeting.
"I'll pick up a bottle" = Bob will buy 2 a bottle.
"I'll buy him a bottle of whiskey to make up for it" = Bob will buy a bottle of whiskey to compensate for his absence 3.
"We could postpone the meeting" = Bob wants to delay 4 the meeting.

"We could postpone the meeting" = Bob wants to delay 4 the meeting.
"I can't find anyone else to take him". = In the context of his email, Bob can't find anyone to transport 5 his son.
1 cannot attend: The expression "I won't be able to make it to the meeting" expresses that someone cannot attend or assist a meeting. The expression is synonymous with the phrase "I won't be able to attend the meeting".
1 is canceling: To "cancel" a meeting means to "annul" or "call off" a meeting. Bob is not canceling the meeting, he is trying to temporarily postpone the meeting because he cannot "make it" or "attend" the original time set for the meeting.
1 will arrive late to: This is not a good choice. If Bob is unable "to make it to a meeting", it doesn't mean that he will arrive late to the meeting, but rather that he cannot attend or be present at the meeting.
2 buy: This is correct. In this context, to "pick up" a bottle means "to buy" one. Example: On your way home, could you pick up a bottle of wine?
2 lift: To "lift" an object is to physically "raise" or elevate it. In another context, "to pick up" can mean to physically lift an object, however in Bob's email, this is not the case.
2 open: Bob is "buying" a bottle of whisky for Bruno, not "opening" a bottle of whiskey. The phrasal verb to "pick up" does not indicate that one will "open" an object.
3 to compensate for his absence: The idiom "to make up for (something)" means "to pay back" or "to compensate" for it. Example: "I'm sorry I hit your cat, what can I do to make up for it?" Note that the compensation is not necessarily financial.
3 to express his respect: The idiom "to make up for (something)" is not a gesture of respect, but rather a gesture to "compensate" for something.
3 to make Bruno forget about it: The idiom "to make up for (something)" is not an attempt to make someone forget about something, but rather a gesture to "compensate" for something.
3 that he brewed himself: Bob's expression is not an indication that he himself "brewed" the whiskey himself.
4 delay: The verb "to postpone" means to "delay" or to "put off" something, such as a meeting, to a later time. Example: We need to postpone the meeting until next week because Bob won't be there.
4 cancel: To "cancel a meeting" means to "annul" or to "call it off" entirely. Bob does not want to cancel the meeting, just to "postpone" it to a later date.
4 skip: To "skip" a meeting means to fail to attend a meeting. It is true that Bob will not be able to attend the meeting, however this is not what Bob "wants", nor does it express the meaning of the term "postpone".
5 transport: This is the best choice. Bob writes, "I have an appointment to take my infant son to the pediatrician at 2:30". "To take someone somewhere" means "to transport" them, usually by car.
5 pick up: To "pick someone up" from the doctor's office means to "retrieve" them, or bring them back home from the doctor's office. Example: I will pick you up after school. This is a bit different in meaning than the verb "to take" in this context.
5 babysit: Although Bob is looking for a babysitter, when he writes that he "can't find anyone to take him", he is referring "to transporting" or "bringing" his son to the doctor's office, not that he is looking for someone to babysit him.

"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"

Re-write Luna's last sentence, keeping the same meaning and tone.
"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"
Collect 1 an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to send me a message 2 if you want any more information!
"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"
Collect 1 an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to send me a message 2 if you want any more information!
1 Collect: This is the best choice here. In this context, to "pick up (an application form)" is to "take" or "collect" it. Note that we can also use this term to describe "collecting" people: "Could you pick me up from the station tonight? My train arrives at 9pm".
1 Tidy up: This is not the right answer. To "tidy up" is to "clean" or "organise" a space. To "pick up litter or rubbish" shares a similar meaning, but this is not the context of Luna's sentence.
1 Fill in: This is not the right answer. To "fill in" (UK) or "fill out" (US) a form is to complete it: to enter the appropriate information. This does not share a similar meaning with "pick up".
2 send me a message: This is the right answer. To "drop someone a line" is to contact them, usually by writing to them or sending them an email. Example: "If you have any ideas, drop me a line and we can discuss them".
2 drop by: This is not the best choice here. To "drop by (someone's house)" is to pay a brief visit. Example: "I dropped by Brian's office last night after work". This does not share a similar meaning with "to drop someone a line".
2 mail me the application form: This is not the best choice here. To "mail" something to someone is to "post" or "send" it to them. This does not share a similar meaning with "to drop someone a line" in this context.

hang up | pick up | ring
Yesterday at 8:45 AM, the phone [not done] rang 1 twice. Brian Jones picked up 2 the phone and said "Delavigne Corporation, Brian Jones speaking", but he heard only a "click" and a dial tone on the other end. "The caller must have hung up 3!" Brian thought to himself, frustrated. "This is the third time this morning that the phone has rung 4 and nobody has been on the other end!" Then Brian went out and got a manicure.
1 rang: The verb "to ring" should be put in the past simple tense, as indicated by the time frame (yesterday at 8:45 AM). It is an irregular verb. To ring: I ring / I rang / I have rung. "To ring" is make a sound (like a bell, for example). Ringing is the sound a telephone makes when someone calls.
2 picked up: To "pick up (the phone)" is to answer it, as well as to physically lift the receiver to your ear. Because the time frame has been established in the first sentence (yesterday at 8:45 AM), we continue to use the simple past tense.
3 hung up: "To hang up" means to end a phone call and replace the receiver on the base of the telephone. We use "must have" + the past participle to express something that is almost certain. In this case Brian is almost certain the caller on the other end stopped the call by "hanging up", therefore he says "the caller must have hung up ("hung up" is the irregular past participle of "to hang up"). Another example: The lights are out in the house, they must have gone out.
4 has rung: In the present perfect tense, the irregular verb "to ring" becomes "has rung". After phrases such as "This is the first time that..." (or "This is the third time that...", etc.) we generally use the present perfect tense. In this case, this is because the phone has rung in the recent past, and this is still relevant in the present moment. Another example: "This is the fourth time that you've got drunk this week. I'm worried about you".
