This statement is true. Polly writes, "I have compiled a short checklist of three of the most common issues". "Issues" are topics or potential problems, and "to compile a checklist" refers to preparing or writing down several points which someone (in this case, Horatio) should work through.
This is the only statement which is not true. Polly writes that she (Polly herself) wants to meet with Horatio before his review "next Friday", which is the day when Miss Stake comes for her meeting with Horatio.

1 Meeting : This is correct. Brian says "I'm in a meeting all morning... that won't finish before 12.30." Note that Brian pronounces the time, "twelve thirty". He could also have said "twelve thirty p.m." or "twelve thirty in the afternoon". Note: "a.m." is used for times before midday (10am = 10:00); "p.m." is used for times before midnight (10pm = 22:00).
1 Respond to emails: This is not the best choice here. Brian does not mention "emails" in his message.
1 Finish report: This is not the best choice here. Brian does not mention a "report" in his message.
1 Presentation: This is not the best choice here. Brian says "I'm giving a presentation to a group of Asian businessmen at 2pm". Brian will be giving a presentation in the afternoon, not in the "morning" between 9.00 and 12.30.
2 4.15pm: This is correct. Brian says "I'm seeing an animal doctor at 4.15". In English, "vet" is a common abbreviation of veterinarian, a doctor who treats animals. Note that Brian pronounces the time, "four fifteen". He could also have said "four fifteen p.m." or "four fifteen in the afternoon". Note: "a.m." is used for times before midday (6am = 06:00); "p.m." is used for times before midnight (6pm = 18:00).
2 3.15pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "three fifteen".
2 4.50pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "four fifty".
2 3.50pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "three fifty".
3 Elkie Johns Concert: This is the right choice. Brian says "Ah, in the evening? Oh no, I've got tickets to see Elkie Johns in concert - I'm not gonna miss that!". The "evening" is the part of the day between the afternoon and the night. "8pm" is the only appointment that Brian has in the evening.
3 Meet with Charlie Braithwaite: This is incorrect. Brian doesn't manage to find a time to meet Charlie.
3 Sprain groin: This is incorrect. Brian has an appointment with a vet because his horse has "sprained his groin" but does not have an appointment to sprain his own groin (to injure the delicate region at the top of his thighs!). I suppose some masochists might make an appointment to injure themselves, but there is no evidence from the dialogue that Brian belongs to this disturbed minority of people.
3 Play polo: This is incorrect. Brian says, "My horse has sprained his groin playing polo again!". This is a reference to a past event. Brian doesn't say that he will be playing polo at 8pm on Monday evening. "To sprain one's groin" means to injure the muscles at the top of the thighs.

Friend: So, how was your lunch?
You: Horrible! I chose the carrot surprise as a starter 1. The "surprise" was a black hair. Then for my main course 2, I had the liver and onions. I think it was made with human livers. After that, I had no desire to try a dessert 3!

1 starter: "Starter" is the best answer here. The "starter" is the first course of a meal, used to prepare your taste-buds for the courses to come, and to stop very hungry people from eating the people sitting next to them. Example: "This restaurant offers over 20 different starters!".
1 before: The term "before" refers to a period of time, not a course during a meal. It does not make sense here.
1 beginner: A "beginner" is someone who is new to something, such as someone who has recently started to play a certain sport. This does not make sense here.
1 entry: "Entry" shares a similar meaning with "entrance" or refers to the act of entering a building. This does not make sense here.
2 main course: "Main course" is the right answer. The "main course" of a meal contains the largest quantity of food, and it's usually the focus of the meal. Example: "The starter was so big, that I couldn't eat all of the main course!".
2 high course: This term does not make sense here.
2 big course: Although the "main course" of a meal is usually the biggest, this term does not make sense here.
2 principal course: Although the "main course" of a meal is usually the focus, this term does not make sense here.
3 dessert: "Dessert" is the best choice here. "Dessert" is also called "pudding" in the UK. It refers to the sweet course which comes at the end of a meal. Example: "Raspberry sorbet is my favourite dessert". Be careful not to confuse this term with "desert", which is a dry, sandy patch of the earth!
3 after table: This does not make sense here.
3 last plate: The "last plate" is the only flat china item left in the cupboard. This does not make sense here.
3 finals: "Finals" refers to the set of exams taken at the end of one's university career. This does not make sense here.
