Bob never mentions that his copy of BareMinimum is secret, but he does suggest that he is willing to make an illegal copy of the software for Bruno and "keep it their little secret". "Let's keep this our little secret" is a common English expression which shares a similar meaning with the idiom "Let's keep this between us".
Bob offers to "burn a few copies" of BareMinimum software for Bruno. In this context, the verb "to burn" means to create a copy of the software on CD. "To burn" can mean to destroy (by fire) in a different context, however when speaking of computers, "to burn" is to copy using a CD or DVD writer.
Bob writes that "the price is right". This idiom expresses that Bob believes that Delavigne can afford this software, or that the cost is reasonable.
Bob writes that his copy is still "under warranty", which is another way of saying that it is still guaranteed (the manufacture promises that the product is of good quality and works correctly).

This statement is false. Brent tells Candy that "London hasn't seen smog since 1952", indicating that "smog" is no longer common in London (though it once was, during the industrial revolution).
Candy says that "the fog will be around all weekend". The expression "to be around" indicates that fog will "be present". Example: "Humans have been around for thousands of years". The main point of Candy's report is that there is a lot of fog in London this weekend.
This statement is false. Although Brent describes "smog" as the result of coal "burning", he is not referring to a burning building.
Towards the end of this broadcast, Candy falls down a hole in the street and ends up in a "sewer" which smells "really bad". "Sewers" are the network of underground tunnels and pipes which drain waste and water. Brent concludes the dialogue by thanking Candy, who is "reporting live from the heart of the London sewers".
This statement is false. Candy initially reports that London is full of "smog" this weekend. Brent then corrects her saying that there is no longer a lot of "smog" (which describes industrial pollution) in London. Brent explains that "smog is caused by a mixture of smoke and sulphur dioxide. 'Fog" is a natural occurrence which has to do with condensation in the atmosphere. Fog and smog are terms which describe different weather conditions.

1 rewind: This is the correct answer. The "rewind" button is used to go back to a point in a recording, CD/DVD or tape. Note that the verb form is irregular: rewind / rewound / have rewound. Example: I rewound the cassette tape to the beginning of the song.
1 time jump: This is incorrect. The term "time jump" sounds like it should be used for some sort of time travel.
1 playback: This is incorrect. "Playback" is a term which describes "replaying" a piece of audio or a video recording.
1 auto reverse: This is incorrect. "Auto-reverse" is a feature of some cassette players (common in the 1980s) which are able to play the "reverse" (or B) side of a cassette tape automatically.
2 fast forward: This is the correct answer. The "fast forward" button on a remote control allows the user to rapidly advance to a point in a recording. Note that the verb form, "to fast forward", is commonly used. Example: I don't have time to see everything, so can we fast forward until the end of the film?
2 back to the future: Best action-adventure, sci-fi, romcom, teen-high-school, period, screwball comedy of the 1980s starring Michael J. Fox, but not the right answer though.
2 double speed: This term is incorrect. "Double speed" means two times the normal speed.
2 advance play: The term "advance play" is is not used to describe this function.
3 record: This is the correct answer. The "record" button is used to make a digital or video copy of a TV program. Note the verb form: "to record". In the audio Bruno says to Brian, "I want you to record a few of my favorite television programs."
3 replay: This is incorrect. "To replay" is to play again, or to play a second time.
3 register: This is incorrect. Although the term "to register" is "to record" something in writing. The noun (and verb) are never used in relation to making a copy of an audio or a TV program.
3 burn: This is incorrect. In other contexts, a "burn" button might be selected to copy and store information on to a digital storage device such as a CD or DVD-Rom. Example: I burned the photos onto a CD and developed them at the store.
4 stop: This is the correct answer. The "stop" button is used to end a recording while it is playing.
4 long pause: This isn't the correct term to use for this type of feature on a TV remote control. The "pause" button is used to suspend a TV program temporarily.
4 freeze: This isn't the correct term to use for this type of feature on a TV remote control. "To freeze" is stop the motion or progress. Example: "Freeze it right there, don't make another move!"
4 break: This isn't the correct term to use for this type of feature on a TV remote control.
