This is a true statement. Brent explains to Candy that "in the winter, water freezes and turns to ice". Candy replies "that's good to know Brent, thanks for the tip". A "tip" is a useful piece of information. The fact that Candy thanks Brent for the "tip" indicates that Candy didn't know that when water freezes it turns to ice. Moreover, Candy wasn't aware that the plain of snow and ice she was looking at was actually Lake Baikal, the lake she had been looking for.
This statement is false. Moira is indeed out of the studio, however she is not on holiday. Brent tells us she is "out sick" or "ill". Please note that in British English, the expression to be "off sick" is more widely used. Example: Moira is off sick today, so Brent will do the report alone. Brent also specifies that Moira has "laryngitis", an inflammation of the larynx and vocal chords.
This is a true statement. Candy tells Brent that "sub-zero temperatures can last up to 6 months" in Siberia. The prefix "sub" means "under", and precedes terms such as "submarine", "subway" and "subcontract". The verb "to last" describes the duration of something (in this case freezing temperatures) Example: Daylight can last up to 24 hours a day in Northern Sweden. Candy is telling Brent that the temperature stays below zero-degrees for 6 months (or half a year) in Siberia.
This statement is false. Brent tells Candy that he has heard that the "deepest lake in the world" is near Irkutsk. The terms "deep", "deeper", and "deepest" refer to a vertical measurement (from the surface of the water to the bottom). The terms "wide" and "width" refer to a lateral or horizontal measurement (from one side of the surface to the other). The lake with the largest surface area happens to be in America and is called Lake Superior. It's not surprising really, everything always has to be bigger in America.
