  • "Bruno : I don't like that idea one bit."
Exercise 1

Choose all the true statements from the list below:

This is not a good choice. At no point in the dialogue does Bruno disagree with Susie. His statement "I don't like that idea one bit" is a response to Susie's warnings about the consequences of Giuseppe revealing Delavigne's secret formulas, and not an indication of disagreement with Susie's opinions. "I don't like this one bit" is an idiomatic expression which means "I really don't like this (at all)".
This is a true statement. Bruno and Susie are discussing the possibility of Delavigne's perfumes being copied or "duplicated" by Delavigne's competitors. Susie tells Bruno "if our competitors were able to duplicate our perfumes..." which clearly indicates that the Delavigne Corp runs the risk of having their perfumes copied.
This is a true statement. It is safe to assume that Susie enjoyed her vacation after hearing the exchange between Bruno and Susie at the beginning of the dialogue. Bruno asks Susie how her holidays were and responds that they were both "fantastic" and "spectacular".
This statement is false. Susie never suggests that Delavigne should "reduce distribution costs and increase volume". Susie actually warns Bruno that if Giuseppe talks, their competitors could copy their perfumes and "distribute them cheaply and in great volume".
