Exercise 1
Choose the TRUE statement from the list below.
Choose the TRUE statement from the list below.
Susie says that she knows of a great sushi bar "just around the corner from the building". This indicates that the sushi restaurant is "close by" or "near by" in the neighborhood, however the restaurant is not in the same building.
Miss Stake uses the idiom "on the dot" to refer to the time she is meeting with Susie. "On the dot" expresses something exact or precise, and is generally used to refer to the time. Example: Our train left the station at 3 o'clock on the dot. "On the dot" means "precisely" or "exactly" in this context.
Miss Stake tells Susie that she has been in the Delavigne offices for more than a week, and that she would prefer to meet with her outside the offices. There is no indication that she has been trying to schedule an appointment for more than a week.
Susie never suggests meeting for an evening meal or "dinner". She does speak of a "diner across the street", however a "diner" is a cheap restaurant. Rather, Susie and Fiona plat to "meet over lunch". "Lunch" is the meal eaten around midday to 3PM, in the middle of the day not the evening.
