Mile High Airways
This statement is true. The infomercial tells us that "for a small extra cost, passengers can choose to have some legroom and a seatbelt, and use the toilet facilities". An "extra cost" is more money, a charge, or a fee. Some services have to be paid for at an additional cost with Mile High Airways.
This is a true statement. Mile High Airways' pricing strategy is described as "new", and we read that the company will "revolutionise the low-cost airline industry, setting new standards in price...". If something is "innovative", it is "new" and "revolutionary": something different and exciting! To be precise, customers can choose how much money they want to pay for their Mile High Airways ticket.
This is a false statement. We read that "The world awaits the launch of Mile High Airways", which means that it has not yet been "launched" or "officially created". To "await (someone's arrival)" is to "wait for or expect (their arrival)". Mile High Airways has not begun business yet.
This is not true. We read that Mile High Airways flies "where you least want to go": to "out-of-the-way and obscure destinations". This means that the airline does not fly to major cities, but rather to strange places which nobody wants to visit!

Polly writes that the Delavigne corp must abide by the building owner's decisions regarding the cafeteria.

This means that the company must respect the owner's decisions.
respect: This is the best choice. To "abide by a rule or decision" means to follow, obey or respect a rule or decision. When Polly writes that the staff must abide by the cafeteria's decisions, she means that the staff must respect them.
await: This is not a good choice. To "await" something or someone means to wait for it. Example: We awaited the announcement with much excitement. This is not what Polly means when she writes that the staff must "abide" by the cafeteria's decision.
tolerate: Polly is not asking the staff to "tolerate" the cafeteria's decisions, but rather to respect and accept them. To "tolerate" something is to have patience for it, or to "endure" it.
ignore: Polly is not asking the staff to "ignore" cafeteria's decisions, but rather to respect and accept them. "To ignore" something is to disregard it.
