Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!

Donna thinks the speech in Boston will give good publicity for the company.

This is a true statement. Donna tells Bruno that his trip as public speaker to Boston "will be great exposure for the company". "Exposure" refers to press or publicity, especially in the media.

Bruno has been asked to speak at a conference on keys.

This is incorrect. Bruno says "I was invited to be the keynote speaker at a conference on cosmetics tomorrow morning in Boston." Do not mistake "keys" for a "keynote speaker", a term which refers to someone who gives an important speech, usually at a conference.

Brian is going to write Bruno's speech.

This is incorrect. While it is true that Bruno is having difficulties writing his speech, it is Donna who offers to help him: "I could help you write (the speech) if you want". Donna also says "Why don't you have Brian make the reservations for you, and we can get started on your speech after lunch". She is suggesting that Bruno ask Brian to book or reserve the plane tickets, but Donna herself will help Bruno with his speech.
