Choose all of the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one!

Donna must work over the Christmas holiday.

This is a true statement. Donna tells Brian that she will not be spending Christmas at home in England because her "call-in show on Radio Rhubarb runs all the way through the Christmas period". This indicates that she will be working throughout or during the Christmas period. If a job "runs through the Christmas period", then the job continues during the Christmas period.

Icarus received a neck tie with flashing lights as a present.

This is a true statement. After Brian compliments Icarus' tie, Icarus explains "it's the "Secret Santa" present I received". He then tells Brian that "it plays music when you squeeze it and the lights flash on and off!" Icarus is describing some sort of fantastic electronic necktie with music and flashing lights.

Brian received a cocker spaniel for Hannukah.

This statement is false. Although Brian does mention cocker spaniels, it is not because he was given one as a gift. He tells Donna that he used to have a cocker spaniel in England. There is no mention of Hannukah, the Jewish festival of lights, in this dialogue.

Brian won't visit his family in England for Christmas.

This is a true statement. Brian tells Donna that he "won't be spending Christmas with (his) family in England". To "spend Christmas (in Sweden)" means to pass Christmas day there, or stay in Sweden for the day.

Brian compliments Icarus on his intelligence.

This statement is false. Brian compliments Icarus on the "smart tie" he is wearing. Although the term "smart" can refer to someone that is intelligent, it can also refer to something that is fancy or nice. Brian is complimenting Icarus on his fancy, good-looking tie, not on his intelligence.
