This is not a true statement. Bruno tells Philip 'don't interrupt', and later tells him to 'calm down' which indicates that he will not 'allow' or 'permit' Philip to interrupt Susie during her argument.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'immediately after the public became aware of their labor practices, Shmike's stock dropped 44% despite a booming stock market.' When she says 'the public became aware' she means that the public 'found out' or 'discovered the truth' about the company's labor practices.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'Angry factory workers in Indonesia actually raided their own facility and stole merchandise and equipment...' This means that mistreated Shmike workers entered their own factories in order to steal merchandise and machinery from the factory. To 'raid' is to invade, usually for the purpose of stealing. To break into (a house) is to enter it by force.
This is not the best choice. It is Philip who 'insists on making this a financial issue'. Susie presents an argument which takes into account both the ethical and financial disadvantages of using cheap labor. It would be inaccurate to say that Susie believes that labor abuse is 'strictly', or 'purely' a financial issue.
