I don't know

Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer! Choose all that apply.

Polly has prepared some information about the review process.

This statement is true. Polly writes, "I have compiled a short checklist of three of the most common issues". "Issues" are topics or potential problems, and "to compile a checklist" refers to preparing or writing down several points which someone (in this case, Horatio) should work through.

Miss Stake wants to meet Horatio before their scheduled appointment on Friday.

This is the only statement which is not true. Polly writes that she (Polly herself) wants to meet with Horatio before his review "next Friday", which is the day when Miss Stake comes for her meeting with Horatio.

According to Polly, efficiency reviews can cause mental tension.

This statement is true. Polly writes, "these reviews can be stressful". A "stressful (event)" causes mental tension or psychological pressure.

Horatio will be reviewed before the rest of the staff.

This statement is true. Polly writes, "it seems that you are first on the list to be reviewed", meaning that Horatio will be reviewed before any other staff members.
