This is not one of the conclusions of this dialogue. Bruno has already "authorized" a new software program. He is not considering potential solutions, he has already given his permission to Icarus to buy the program. Icarus simply wants Bob to make the purchase.
This is not one of the conclusions of this dialogue. Bob actually refuses to buy the Miracle software right away because he is convinced that he can find a cheaper alternative.
This is one of the conclusions of this dialogue. Icarus asks Bob "to keep him informed of his progress" (regarding the software issue they have discussed). This idiom is synonymous with the expression "keep me up to date". Both expressions indicate that the speaker wishes to be kept apprised of someone's progress.
This is one of the conclusions of this dialogue. Bob says "I'll see what I can find in the way of discounted systems", which means that he will look for "systems" or "software solutions" that are cheaper than normal.

This is incorrect. The expression 'keep me posted' is unrelated to the notion of 'posting' or 'sending' a letter.
This is correct. The expression 'keep me posted' is a request to be given new information as it arrives or develops. To 'keep someone up to date' is to tell them of new developments or events. This shares a very similar meaning with the expression 'keep me posted'.

This is incorrect. This is not an expression used in English. Something which is 'current' is 'up-to-date'. However, it doesn't make sense to ask 'to be kept current'.
This is incorrect. The expression 'to put someone in copy' is used in emails when sending a message to more than one person. Cc. and Bcc. are two fields used in email to put people in copy. 'Putting someone in copy' is unrelated to 'keeping someone posted'.

1 recall: "Recall" is the best choice here. To "recall" something is to "remember" it. Here, the speaker is saying that they "remember" someone talking about skiing. Another example: "I can't recall the man's name, but his face was amazing".
2 broke even: "Broke even" is the right answer here. To "break even" is to earn or "win back" an amount equal to that invested, usually in a business venture. Example: "I've invested 4000$ in a sausage company. The boss says he's sure they'll break even within a month".
3 keeps up to date: "Keeps up to date" is the best answer here. To "keep up to date" is to stay informed about recent developments, events, and news in a certain subject. Example: "I enjoy keeping up to date about developments in neuroscience".
