Exercice 1
'Philip will be travelling by company car in order to save on airfare.'

A 'company car' is a .

'To save on airfare' is to .
'Philip will be travelling by company car in order to save on airfare.'

A 'company car' is a vehicle owned by a business 1.

'To save on airfare' is to not spend money on plane tickets 2.
1 vehicle owned by a business: This is correct. A 'company car' is a vehicle 'owned by' or 'belonging to' a company. 'Company cars' are 'lent' or given to employees, usually with the intention for them to perform work duties. Example: 'We have bought company cars for our salesmen so that they can travel around the country.' 'To own (a house)' is to be its 'proprietor' or 'to possess' it. Example: 'Before I learned to love capitalism, I owned absolutely nothing.'
1 rental vehicle: This is incorrect. 'A 'rental vehicle' refers to a vehicle that is available for use during a (short or finite) period of time, in exchange for a payment or 'fee'. Example: 'When we went on holiday we used a rental vehicle to drive from town to town.' Note: 'rental vehicles' are also called 'hire vehicles' or 'vehicles for hire'.
1 shuttle bus: This is incorrect. A 'shuttle bus' is a multi-passenger vehicle that transports passengers between two destinations. Example: 'I took the shuttle bus between Terminal A and Terminal C of the airport.' Note that a 'car' refers to an 'automobile', and a 'bus' (or 'coach') is a vehicle that carries multiple passengers.
1 personal vehicle: This is incorrect. A 'company car' belongs to a business, it does not refer to a vehicle that personally belongs to Philip. It is possible that company cars can be used by multiple employees of a company.
2 not spend money on plane tickets: This is correct. To 'save on (a new car)' is to save or economise on the purchase of it. By using a vehicle owned by Delavigne, Philip won't need to spend money on a flight. 'Airfare' is the charge or fee to travel on an airplane: the price of the plane tickets.
2 respect the environment: This is incorrect. The expression 'to save on airfare' does not mean to 'respect the environment'. This idiom is not related to ecological issues.
2 avoid traffic: This is incorrect. The expression 'to save on airfare' does not mean 'to stay clear from' (or avoid) traffic (or 'congestion'). 'To avoid (an accident)' is 'to evade' or 'to keep away from' an accident.
2 avoid the airport: This is incorrect. The expression 'to save on airfare' does not mean 'to stay clear from' (or avoid) the airport. 'To avoid (an accident)' is 'to evade' or 'to keep away from' an accident.
Exercice 2
Fill in the blanks with terms used in the dialogue!

The first term describes a journey or trip through the air, for example in a plane: "My was delayed, so I was late for the meeting."

Now find the verb which means to swap, change, or exchange one thing for something else which is less valuable or expensive: "I don't like this new Microtosh operating system. I want to to the older version please!"

Next, we need the verb which means to give someone their money back, or to reimburse them: "This car doesn't work. I want you to the money I paid right now!"

Finally, find the term which refers to the money or price you pay for a plane ticket: "If we invite you for an interview, we will reimburse your and other travel expenses."

Fill in the blanks with terms used in the dialogue!

The first term describes a journey or trip through the air, for example in a plane: "My flight 1 was delayed, so I was late for the meeting."

Now find the verb which means to swap, change, or exchange one thing for something else which is less valuable or expensive: "I don't like this new Microtosh operating system. I want to downgrade 2 to the older version please!"

Next, we need the verb which means to give someone their money back, or to reimburse them: "This car doesn't work. I want you to refund 3 the money I paid right now!"

Finally, find the term which refers to the money or price you pay for a plane ticket: "If we invite you for an interview, we will reimburse your airfare 4 and other travel expenses."
1 flight: "Flight" is the term we were looking for here. A "flight" is a journey through the air, usually in a plane or helicopter. We also talk about "birds" flight'.
2 downgrade: "Downgrade" is the right answer. To "downgrade" something is to get a less expensive, less recent, or less good version of it! In the dialogue, Philip "downgrades" is plane ticket from a business class ticket to an economy class ticket in order to save money. Note that the opposite of "to downgrade" is "to upgrade". Example: "The air hostess upgraded my ticket to business class because I smiled at her".
3 refund: "Refund" is the correct answer here. To "refund someone's money" is to return their money to them. There is also a related noun: "a refund". In the dialogue, Philip receives "a refund" because he swaps an expensive ticket for a cheap ticket.
4 airfare: "Airfare" is the right answer. "Airfare" is the money you pay for an aeroplane ticket. Example: "The airfare alone was $4000, so I won't be able to spend much money on a hotel!".
Exercice 3
The most expensive item on this form is:

The most expensive item on this form is:
This is the right answer. Philip has paid for "Business class airfare to Hong Kong", which cost him $3998.99. This is the highest price, and therefore the "most expensive" purchase on the list. It cost more money than the other items.
The "petrol" expense is only $56.00. This is actually the "smallest" or "cheapest" purchase, not the most expensive.
Philip does not state that he hired a car. In fact, he mentions his "private car", which is probably his own, personal vehicle.
This is incorrect. The "meal" on this list is a "Business lunch with (Harold) Warbuckle". This cost $256.45. That may seem expensive, but it's not the MOST expensive purchase on the list.
