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

There may be more than one.

Warbuckle invites Bruno to extend his stay on the ranch.

This is a true statement. Warbuckle says to Bruno "Say, why don't you stay for a few more days?" To "extend a stay" is to prolong the time you are staying somewhere or with someone. Warbuckle is asking Bruno to stay with him for a few more days.

Bruno warns Warbuckle that it will take a long time for Warbuckle to rectify his financial situation.

This statement is false. Bruno tells Warbuckle that if he makes a few changes to his spending habits, then he's "bound to get (his) financial situation sorted out in no time". If something happens "in no time", it means that it happens very quickly. Also, the "be bound to" construction used by Bruno indicates that an action is "almost certain" to occur.

Warbuckle realizes that he should spend his money more prudently.

This is a true statement. Warbuckle begins this dialogue by saying "I suppose I should start exercising a bit of fiscal restraint". The term "fiscal" refers to financial matters in general. To "exercise restraint" means to behave more carefully or "prudently". Here Warbuckle acknowledges that he should try to be more careful with his money.
