Now select the TRUE statement(s).

There may be more than one correct answer!

Hannah will show Bruno a bottle of "Lion Flower" the next time she sees him.

This is not a correct choice. Hannah writes, "I have sent you a bottle of Lion Flower by express delivery, which should be with you in the next couple of days". "Express delivery" is a rapid postal service. Hannah has sent Bruno a bottle of "Lion Flower" by post, therefore will not be delivering it herself.

"Lion flower" is cheaper than "TigerLily".

This is correct. Hannah writes that "Lion Flower is currently being sold alongside TigerLily at one third of the price". This means that if "TigerLily" is sold for 30 dollars per bottle, "Lion Flower" is sold at 10 dollars per bottle. "Copycat products" normally imitate the appearance of an established brand but are sold at a cheaper price.

Supermarkets in Japan have started selling "Lion Flower" as a replacement for "TigerLily".

This is incorrect. Hannah writes, "Lion Flower, is currently being sold alongside TigerLily". "Alongside" means "by the side of" or "next to" (in supermarkets, toothpaste is usually sold alongside toothbrushes). Lion Flower is not a replacement for TigerLily but a new product that is being sold next to "TigerLily" in Japanese supermarkets.

"Lion Flower" looks like "TigerLily" but smells totally different.

This is not a correct choice. Hannah writes, 'I'm no expert, but (Lion Flower) smells similar enough to merit a closer analysis from our experts. This means that Hannah thinks that Lion Flower's fragrance resembles the scent of Lion flower, therefore the two products do not smell totally different.
