This is a false statement. Bruno doesn't mention Bob's organizational skills. For example, he could have said: Bob allocates time and resources effectively. But he didn't!
This is a false statement. An adaptable person is able to easily adjust to different conditions or situations. However, Bruno does not mention these qualities in Bob!
This is a true statement. In this context, "available" means to be approachable and ready to provide assistance. Bruno says that Bob is "always free to help you with problems". In this context, "free" and "available" are synonyms. For example: I'm sorry, I'm not available at the moment. I'll contact you as soon as I'm free.
This is a true statement. The term "reliable" means "dependable" or "trustworthy". For example: My car is very reliable, it always starts even on cold winter mornings. In the dialogue, Bruno says that Bob "seems like a solid worker - the kind of guy you can depend on". In this context, "solid" means reliable or dependable. If you can depend on a guy (or man), you can rely on them, therefore they are a reliable guy!
This is a false statement. Bruno describes Bob as being both reliable and available, therefore it would be a mistake for Brian to select the "none of the above" option.
This is a false statement. If an individual is resourceful, they are able to act effectively or imaginatively, especially in difficult situations. For example: Fred is a resourceful cook - he was able to feed 20 people with a box of eggs and some bananas. Bruno doesn't comment on Bob's resourcefulness. For example, he might have said: Bob finds innovative solutions to problems.
