Choose all the TRUE statements from the list below.

Be careful, there may be more than one correct choice!

Bruno is busy all day today

When asked if he can meet Sam right now, Bruno replies that he is "booked solid for the rest of the day". To be "booked solid" is to be very busy, or to have many scheduled appointments.

This phone call takes place before lunch

When asked if he wants to meet Sam right away to eat something, Bruno declines, saying that he is busy all day, then adding "It's also 9 o'clock in the morning". Sam confirms this by saying, "True, true".

Bruno is calling to cancel his previous appointment with Sam

Bruno is actually calling to schedule an appointment with Sam, not to cancel a previous one.

Sam tells Bruno that he is starting to get hungry

Sam asks Bruno to meet him right away, saying that he is starting to "feel a bit peckish". "Peckish" is a primarily British term which means "hungry", although in another context it can mean irritated or angry.

Thursday afternoon is the only good time for Sam to meet Bruno

This is incorrect. Sam wants to meet Bruno right away, and not on Thursday as Bruno proposes. This indicates that Sam is available not just on Thursday afternoon. It is Bruno who is busy until Thursday afternoon. Sam eventually accepts Bruno's offer to meet him on Thursday.
