Choose the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is incorrect. Brian says in his phone message that Bruno and Donna "will be traveling first class to Logan Airport on Big Generic Airlines". This is a good indication that Bruno and Donna are not trying to economize and travel in the cheapest seats.
This is a false statement. Brian says "I've made arrangements for your flight", but he does not mention anything about transport arrangements when Bruno and Donna arrive at Boston airport.
This is correct. Brian says "I do recommend the Bristol Arms Hotel if you're looking for a place to stay. The buffet is quite extraordinary". By this, we can assume that he has already eaten at the hotel and likes the food there.
This statement is false. Brian says that because Bruno "neglected" (or failed) to mention, where the conference is taking place, he was unable to reserve a hotel room. Brian does recommend the Bristol Arms Hotel, however.
This is not a true statement. Brian does hope that the arrangements he has made "suit" Bruno. Here, the verb "suit" means to be convenient or to please someone. Brian is simply stating that he hopes that the preparations he has made are acceptable to Bruno. Brian hasn't prepared "a suit" or smart outfit for Bruno.
