Philip lists several advantages of the Delavigne Corporation's current situation. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages mentioned by Philip?
This is true. Philip tells Barbara that Delavigne has a "new factory".
This is true. Philip says "We've got Bümbüm on board". This means the company is working with Ivana Bümbüm. "On board" is an expression meaning "on the job" or "part of a team".
This is true. Philip tells Barbara that Delavigne has "exotic new chemicals". Chemicals are the main "ingredients" of most perfumes.
This is the only statement which is not true. Philip tells Barbara that Delavigne is "set to release a new line in less than a month". To be "set to" do something means that one is "about to" or "ready to" do something. Philip says that the company will release the perfumes in the future. Also, "in less than a month" expresses that the perfumes will be released in the future.
