There may be more than one true statement.

Brent asks Ray to call the studio once he is near a big city.

This statement is true. Brent asks Ray to call the studio once he is "closer to a major city", and Ray agrees to do this when he says "sounds good". "Close" and "near" are synonymous in this context. Both terms describe proximity to a location.

In the next segment, Brent and Moira are going to talk to someone who builds pogo-sticks.

This statement is false. Brent and Moira are going to speak with someone who traveled around the world on a pogo stick. The expression "to circle the globe" describes the act of traveling all over the world. A "globe" is a sphere (a three dimensional circle), and the term is often used to describe the planet earth. "To build (an object)" is to construct, assemble or create it.

Ray says that he, Bonnie and Rachid are close to Lisbon.

This statement is true. Ray tells Brent and Moira that he, Rachid and Bonnie are "not far" from Lisbon, meaning that they are "close" (in proximity) to Lisbon.

Rachid, the helicopter pilot, made a navigational mistake while flying over Barcelona.

This statement is true. Ray reports that Rachid "took a wrong turn over Barcelona". The expression "to take (or make) a wrong turn" describes the act of turning at the wrong place.

Ray and Rachid are flying over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

This statement is false. Ray reports that he and his team are flying over the coast of Portugal. The "coast" describes the strip of land which borders the sea or ocean. The helicopter is flying over land, not over the middle of the ocean.
