This is incorrect. Philip attempts to get Steffi to purchase more units of Bruno's Brew, he doesn't mention any other Delavigne perfumes. To "carry a line (of perfumes)" is to sell or distribute a stock of perfumes. "Yet" has a similar meaning to "still" (in negative sentences) or "at this present time" and can be situated before or after the verb. Example: "My film isn't ready yet" or "the end has not yet come".
This is correct. Steffi says that "Epikure Kosmetiks" order will be 80,000 units of Bruno's Brew' which, as Philip notes, is "was what you ordered last time." To "renew (an order)" is to continue an order so that it is the same as the previous one. Example: Our best customers renew their orders every year. "Last time" refers to the "previous occasion" or the "most recent instance".
This is correct. Steffi says that Epikure Kosmetiks have "sold (all their units of Bruno's Brew) in 2 months." In this context a "unit (of perfume)" refers to a bottle of perfume. "Sold" is the past form of the verb "to sell" (= to exchange for money).
This is incorrect. Steffi tells Philip that Epikure Kosmetiks have agreed to order more perfumes and that their current stock of perfume has been "sold" already. "Until" shares a similar meaning to "before", for example: You cannot leave until your work is finished.
