Exercice 1

At the end of the dialogue, Edward realises that he has:

been asleep in his bed.

This is not the right choice. Edward thinks he is in a hotel room, but in fact he is in the Delavigne office. He is not in his bed!

hit Bruno in the face.

This is not the right choice. Luckily, Edward doesn't "hit", "slap", or "strike" Bruno in the face. Bruno is Edward's boss, and hitting him would be a bad idea!

caused a paper jam in the photocopier.

This is not the right choice. Edward realises that he is hitting the photocopier at the end of this dialogue, but there is no reason to believe that he has caused paper to get stuck in it!

been fantasising or imagining things.

This is the best answer here. At the end of the dialogue, Edward says "I was daydreaming again". To "daydream" is to "dream", "imagine", or "fantasise" about things while you are awake. Children often do this when they are not interested in their lessons! Example: "I didn't learn anything at school: I just stared out of the window and daydreamed".

Exercice 2

Now select the TRUE statement(s).

There may be more than one correct choice!

Bruno tells Brian about a nightmare or bad dream.

Bruno believes that he may have been too egotistical.

Bruno is worried that the statue is too expensive.

Bruno wants Jackson Bollocks to finish the statue as soon as possible.

Now select the TRUE statement(s).

There may be more than one correct choice!

Bruno tells Brian about a nightmare or bad dream.

This is a false statement. Bruno writes that he was "daydreaming" about his statue when he fell out of his chair. "To daydream" means to indulge in a reverie or fantasy while still awake (=not asleep). For example: The teacher shouted at Alice because she was looking out of the window, daydreaming. Bruno didn't have a nightmare - the falls really happened!

Bruno believes that he may have been too egotistical.

This is the only true statement. Bruno writes that he "got too big headed wanting (his) own statue". If someone is "big headed", they are arrogant and have an exaggerated sense of their own importance. For example: Becoming a millionaire at such a young age made Fred very BIG HEADED. Bruno thinks that he became too self-important wanting a statue and now "the gods" are punishing him by making him fall out of his chair.

Bruno is worried that the statue is too expensive.

This is a false statement. Bruno doesn't express any concern about the cost of the statue.

Bruno wants Jackson Bollocks to finish the statue as soon as possible.

This is a false statement. Bruno says that he has "decided to cancel the statue project". Brian does not want Jackson to finish the statue.
