"To be under pressure" expresses that there are restrictions or constraints being imposed upon someone or something. A "great deal" is a common way of saying "very much", the phrase expresses that there is a large amount or quantity of something.
Although as a noun, a "deal" can refer to a contract or an agreement, in this case, a "great deal" refers to a large amount or quantity.
Although "a great deal" (as a noun) can refer to a good business move or discount, here it is being used to describe a large amount of pressure.
Do not confuse "pressure" with "pleasure"!

• put gas in the car 3

1 buy some food: This is correct. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". A "snack" refers to a light or quick meal or food that is eaten between meals. Philip probably means that he will buy chocolate, candy ("sweets" in UK English), or potato chips ("crisps" in UK English).
1 pay for the gas: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will pay for gas. "Gas" refers to fuel that is used for automobiles.
1 buy a road map: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will buy a road map. A "road map" is used by motorists and describes a plan that shows road details and distances.
1 hold up the store with a banana: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean he will hold up the store with a banana. "To hold up (a bank)" is to "rob" it or demand money by theft.
2 go to the toilet: This is correct. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". A "rest room" is a room in a public building that contains toilets (or lavatories) and washing facilities.
2 have a rest: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to have a rest.
2 repair the car: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to repair the vehicle.
2 walk like an Egyptian: This is incorrect. Only the Bangles can walk like an Egyptian in the correct manner.
3 put gas in the car: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". "To fill up (a car)" is to put fuel (gas or petrol) in it so that the fuel reservoir is full. A "tank" refers to the fuel reservoir of a vehicle that contains gas (or petrol).
3 check the oil level: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". This does not mean that he wants Icarus to check the oil level. The "oil level" refers to the amount of lubricant remaining in the car engine.
3 clean the car interior: This is incorrect. Icarus asks an attendant to wash the "windshield", but Philip does not request Icarus to clean the interior of the car.
3 find a tank: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". Philip is referring to the fuel reservoir of the vehicle, not an armoured car.
4 check the tire pressure: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This means that he wants Icarus to check the air pressure in the tires. A "tire" ("tyre" in UK English) refers to the ring of rubber that surrounds the wheels of a car. The "air pressure (in a tire)" generally refers to the amount of air in the tire, and more specifically to the exertion of force upon the surface of the tire.
4 check the lights: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This doesn't mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the lights of the car.
4 check the brakes: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This does not mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the brakes of the car. The "brakes" of a car refer to the mechanisms that reduce the speed of a vehicle.
4 check the state of his pants: This is incorrect. Icarus' pants are in perfect condition, but his little "Icky" is functioning badly.
Ejercicio 5
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
The mayor is being pressured by his colleagues to ignore applications, he himself is not pressuring anyone else.
The mayor is being pressured to ignore the applications for building permits, he himself is not being ignored.
The mayor is being pressured by his colleagues at City Hall to ignore applications for the space, not to apply for the space himself.
This is the best choice here. The mayor's colleagues are "pressuring" him to build government offices, and to ignore applications for building permits from anyone else.
This statement is false. On the contrary, the mayor is being pressured "to ignore" these applications, therefore he is being asked "not to accept" any applications.
