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

There may be more than one correct answer, or there may be only one.

Brian and Donna are from the same town in Great Britain.

This statement is false. Brain states that he is from Oxford, while Donna says that she is from Cambridge, two towns which are very different.

Brian Jones is visiting Donna Donovan in the United States for a little while.

This statement is not true. Brian is Bruno's new special assistant. He works at the Delavigne Corporation and is meeting Donna for the first time in this scene.

Brian and Donna are old friends from university.

This statement is false. Brian and Donna are meeting for the first time in this scene. Upon meeting Brian, Donna says "pleased to meet you", an expression which is used only when meeting someone for the first time. Although Brian and Donna do share a funny moment when discussing where they are from in England, there is no indication that the two went to university together.

Bruno wants to know how Donna treats her patients.

This statement is false. Bruno asks Donna "how the life of a psychologist is treating her". The question "How is (life) treating you?" is a common way of asking a person how things are going, specifically, how a given activity or profession is working out for them. The verb "to treat" is not used here in the sense of a doctor caring for a patient, but figuratively to ask about a specific aspect of someone's life. Example: how is the life of a teacher treating you?

Brian Jones and Donna Donovan are both British.

This statement is true. Upon meeting Donna Donovan, Brian says "a fellow Brit, I take it?", then "Nice to know there are a few of us working here". The expression "a fellow (Brit)" means "a British person (like me)". "Fellow" is used to signal that the speaker and the person being spoken to have something in common.
