Ejercicio 1
True or false? Phillip says that Horatio interrupted him while he was eating.
True or false? Phillip says that Horatio interrupted him while he was eating.
This is a true statement. Philip tells Horatio: "if I have hiccups it's because I was disturbed during my lunch". This is a passive statement ("I was disturbed"), but it implies that Horatio disturbed Philip by calling him. In this context, disturbed and interrupted have a similar meaning: both refer to Philip stopping eating in order to receive Horatio's call.
This is not a false statement. Although to disturb and to interrupt are not always exact synonyms, in this context they have very similar meanings.

1 disturb: "To bother" is a verb close to "disturb", and the two terms are interchangeable in this expression. "Don't let me bother you" is an invitation to act normally, or continue to do something as if no one else was present.
1 frustrate: To "frustrate" means to irritate or cause annoyance or irritation. Although "bothering" someone can sometimes include frustration or irritation, in this context, "bother" is closer in meaning to "disturb".
1 bore: "To bore (someone)" is to say or do something which does not interest ot excite another person. Example: This movie is boring me. Isn't there anything else we can watch? "Bore" and "bother" do not share a close meaning.
2 continue: "To carry on (swimming)" is to "continue" swimming, or to "keep" swimming, generally while another activity or incident may interrupt the action. For example: We carried on with the play even after the main actor quit. "Carry on", the instruction that Bruno gives Edward and Brian, is commonly given when you wish someone to continue an action, despite your presence.
2 interrupt: "To carry on (doing something)" and "to interrupt (an action)" express nearly opposite meanings. To "interrupt (a discussion)" is to "cut" or break into it. For example: Bob interrupted our meeting several times in order to sing "Happy Birthday" to his dog.
2 begin: "To begin (eating dinner)" is to commence or start eating it. This verb has a different meaning than to "carry on", which describes a continuation of an action, and not the start of one.
3 answer: This is the best answer. "Get the phone" is an instruction to "answer" or "pick up" the telephone. Example: Can you get the phone? I'm busy right now. Note that in another context, "get the phone" could refer to buying, obtaining or transporting a phone. Ex: I'm going to the store to get a phone. Do you need anything?
3 obtain: In this context, "obtaining" or "procuring" a phone isn't the best answer here. "Get the phone" is an order to pick up or answer the phone. Note that in another context, "get" can express "obtaining" or "procuring" an item. Example: Please go to the store and get me some orange juice and eggs.
3 ignore: "Ignore" and "get" don't share a similar meaning in this context or any other.
3 hang up: "To hang up (a telephone, on someone)" is to end a telephone call, generally by placing the receiver of the telephone on the "cradle" or "base" of the phone. The term doesn't share a similar meaning with "to get the phone".

This is incorrect. "To interrupt (someone)" is to is to "cut" or break into their speech.
This is incorrect. "Blunt" is not synonymous with "brief". A "brief (presentation)" is short, or concise.

Example: "My boss can be very blunt and he told me immediately that he hated my presentation".
