Bruno says "We're blessed to have (Horatio) as part of our team."
Which of the following expressions could replace "blessed" as it is used in the dialogue?

Be careful, there may be more than one correct answer!
This is the only expression which cannot replace "blessed" in the dialogue. To be "blessed (to have something or someone)" indicates the one is very fortunate, or lucky (to have the opportunity to have someone). "To be blessed", in the religious or ceremonial sense, should not be taken literally in this context. Although "blessed" and "revered" can be synonyms, they are not in this case.
"Lucky" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.
"Fortunate" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.

It's time to construct some sentences! Below are the beginnings for three different business letters. Select the most appropriate expression to fill each blank.

"Following 1 our recent interview, I am pleased to tell you 2 that your application has been accepted 3. Congratulations and welcome to the team!"

"Given 4 the current ban on air travel, it is my unfortunate task to inform you 5 that I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting 6. Let's arrange a later date."

"As part of 7 our customer information project, you may be interested to know 8 that our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint. 9. We are doing our bit to help the environment."
1 Following: "Following" is the best choice here. This term is often used to begin formal letters, and generally refers to a past event such as a meeting or interview. Example: "Following changes to your bank account, you will now be able to withdraw cash when travelling abroad".
1 As part of: The expression "as part of" does not make sense in this context.
2 I am pleased to tell you: "I am pleased to tell you" makes the most sense here. We use this expression when we have some pleasant or happy news to give to our correspondent. Example: "I am pleased to tell you that your offer of £1.5m for the house has been accepted".
2 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This construction does not make sense here, since the following sentence is congratulatory, and this expression is only used to announce bad news.
3 your application has been accepted: This is the best choice here. Because the writer goes on to "congratulate" the other correspondent, we can deduce that the application has been accepted and successful. The recipient of this letter is being offered a job.
3 your profile does not match what we are looking for: This does not make sense here, since the writer goes on to congratulate the recipient. Their application has not been rejected.
4 Given: "Given" is the best choice here. This term shares a similar meaning with "due to" or "considering" and is used to introduce a cause and effect construction. Example: "Given that she is 8 months pregnant, Julie will not be able to attend the football match".
4 In reply to: It does not make sense to use this construction here: we cannot "reply to a situation" in this context.
5 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This is the best choice here. We use this construction as an introduction when we need to announce some bad news to our correspondent. Example: "It is my unfortunate task to inform you that your husband has been lost at sea".
5 I am pleased to inform you that: This expression is used to introduce positive or happy news, and does not make sense in this context.
6 I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting: This is the best choice here, as the writer is explaining that they cannot be present at the arranged meeting. This expression is often used in a business context when one has to cancel or postpone a meeting.
6 your application has been successful: It does not make sense to use this construction here, since there is no application involved in this sentence.
7 As part of: This is the best choice here. The writer is explaining that it is the "customer information project" which is leading them to give out this information. Another example of this expression in use: "As part of ongoing reforms, it is now illegal to remove dogs" tails in Britain'.
7 In spite of: The term "in spite of" shares a similar meaning with "despite" or "notwithstanding". It is used to introduce contrast in a sentence, and does not make sense here.
8 you may be interested to know: This is the best choice here. This expression is used when giving someone information which they might find important or relevant. Example: "You may be interested to know that I'm going on holiday to Cornwall this summer".
8 it is none of your business: This statement is very informal and impolite and has no place in a business letter.
9 our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint.: This is the best choice to complete this sentence. The expression "carbon footprint" describes the damage done to the environment by a person or company. This can be calculated by looking at their transport habits, production methods, consumption levels, etc.
9 our carbon emissions have increased this year.: This is incorrect. This is no way of "helping the environment".
Übung 3
"Eventually, Bruno transformed Xavier's humble perfume shop..."
In this sentence, eventually means:
"Eventually, Bruno transformed Xavier's humble perfume shop..."
In this sentence, eventually means:
"Suddenly" means "abruptly" or "without warning", for example: While I was walking in the park it suddenly started raining.
"Eventually" means "over time" or "finally", for example: Eventually I will earn enough money to buy a house. In this text, "eventually" indicates that it took time for Bruno to transform Xavier's perfume shop into a large corporation, and that it didn't happen immediately.
"Possibly" indicates possibility or chance. Often it is synonymous with "maybe", for example: That is possibly the worst idea I have ever had.
"Fortunately" is synonymous with the term "lucky". For example: Fortunately, I had my umbrella when it started raining. Using "fortunately" here would express that Bruno was "lucky", or had the good fortune to transform Xavier's perfume shop. This is not what the term "eventually" indicates.
