Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is false. There is no indication that assassinations or hand-to-hand combat are requirements for the job at the Delavigne Corporation. Brian does write, "I am trained in a variety of hand-to-hand combat techniques, and I am an expert marksman as well, should Mr. Delavigne ever require a bodyguard." Here, "should" expresses the conditional to form a suggestion. Brian is suggesting that he could do these things if his employers wanted him to.
This statement is false. Brian writes, "I work equally well both independently and within a team." Brian is not stating his preference for one method of working, rather he is expressing working in either situation. "To work within a team" is to collaborate with other employees or members of a team.
This statement is true. In the beginning of his cover letter Brian writes, "I am writing in response to the advertisement currently running in the San Francisco Herald..." When a newspaper "runs an advertisement", it publishes an advertisement (for a job opening) in its pages. The verb "to run" is synonymous with the verb "to publish" in this context. Note that any published content in a newspaper such as articles, photographs and advertisements can be "run". For example: The newspaper is running a story on global warming on the front page.
This statement is true. This is Brian's "cover letter". A "cover letter" officially or formally states a person's interest in a job. Brian also writes in the letter's subject (and again in the body of his letter) that he is interested in the vacant, or available, position of "Special Assistant to the CEO". He writes that he is "seeking an executive assistant opportunity" and would be "proud to be part of a company with Delavigne's reputation". In other words, he wants to be an assistant at the Delavigne Corporation.

This statement is true, and is one of the main purposes of this phone call. Candice Peterman (the caller), is a "headhunter", a professional recruiter whose job involves finding qualified candidates to "fill positions".

This statement is true. Candice Peterman has offered Brian a chance to become the president (or boss) of a small cosmetics company. Brian has refused however, saying that he is happy being Bruno Delavigne's personal assistant.
