There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a true statement. Bruno makes several observations about the offices, noting the porcelain door handles, the marble floors and the gold-plated ceilings, all of which seem excessive to him. At one point Bruno says "This building seems rather excessive". It is clear that Bruno feels that the offices are "extravagant".
Bruno does not refer to the service of the bank in any way. His comments and criticisms are based entirely on the appearance of the building. This is logical, as he has not yet met with anyone from the bank!
This statement is not true. At the end of this conversation, a woman announces "Mr. Shadetree will see you now, gentlemen". This indicates that Icarus and Bruno have not yet met with Sam Shadetree.
Towards the end of the dialogue, Icarus tells Bruno, "Frankly sir, this bank makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Uncomfortable is synonymous with "uneasy" in this context.
This statement is false. Icarus tells Bruno that while he was in the rest room, a man tried to "dry his hands". Because Icarus was unfamiliar with this sort of thing, he ran away. However, the man in the bathroom did not "assault" Icarus in any way.

Ejercicio 4

Another way to say "on your way out" is .
Another way to say "on your way out" is .
Horatio asks Polly to "hand him a towel" on (her) way out. He wants Polly to pass him a towel 1.
Another way to say "on your way out" is as you are leaving 2.
Another way to say "on your way out" is as you are leaving 2.
1 pass him a towel: This is the best choice here. In English "to hand" is used as a verb meaning "to pass" or "to give". It is often used in the imperative voice, as Horatio is using it in this dialogue. Horatio is asking Polly to physically pass him a towel.
1 lend him a towel: This is not what Horatio asks of Polly. To "lend" means to "loan" or "to give something temporarily", with the understanding that it will be returned eventually.
1 take his towel: This is not what Horatio wants Polly to do.
1 dry his hands with a towel: This is not what Horatio wants Polly to do. "To dry (one's hands)" is to remove the moisture or liquid from them, as one might do with a towel.
1 request a towel from management: This is not what Horatio is asking Polly to do. Horatio simply wants Polly to pass her a towel, not to "request one from management".
2 as you are leaving: This is the best choice here. The expression "on your way out" is synonymous with the expression "as you are leaving". When Horatio says "hand me a towel on your way out", he is essentially saying "give me a towel as you exit the laboratory". We use this expression to indicate the moment when someone exits a room, house, apartment or building.
2 once you are outside: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio is not requesting that Polly hand him a towel "from outside of Horatio's laboratory, but rather he is asking her to hand him a towel "WHILE" or 'AS she is leaving his laboratory".
2 if you'll be kind enough: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio's expression refers to Polly exiting his office, and is not related to her "kindness" or consideration.
2 when you return: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio's expression refers to Polly exiting his office, and is not related to her return.

Choose best term to replace absorb in this sentence:
Sandbags are being used to the water.
Choose best term to replace absorb in this sentence:
Sandbags are being used to the water.

Choose best term to replace absorb in this sentence:
Sandbags are being used to soak up the water.
Choose best term to replace absorb in this sentence:
Sandbags are being used to soak up the water.
soak up: "To soak up (a liquid)" is to absorb it. A sponge "soaks up" liquid by absorbing it. This is the best, most natural choice to replace "absorb" in the sentence above. Note that "to soak up" can be used figuratively as well, as in the sentence, "I soaked up all the information from his lecture".
drink up: "To drink up" can't replace "absorb" in this sentence. The expression "to drink up" is generally used to refer to the act of physically drinking. It can be used as an imperative command to drink: "Drink up! There's plenty of wine for everybody".
dry off: Although "drying" refers to the process of becoming less wet, "dry off" cannot replace "absorb" in this sentence. Water can dry, however one cannot dry it off (in the active sense). The phrasal verb "to dry off" is a variation of the verb "to dry", often used to refer to an object or person. Example: I need to dry off, please pass me a towel.
reduce: "Reduce" can't replace the term "absorb" in this sentence. One doesn't "reduce" water itself, but an amount of water or water levels can be reduced.
