Exercice 1
Towards the end of the conference, Susie says "I think it's time to wrap things up."
Which of the following idioms or expressions could replace Susie's phrase without changing its meaning?

This is the best choice here. The idiom to "wrap things up" means to "conclude" or "end" something. When Susie says this she is signaling the end of the press conference.
The idiom Susie uses is a way of saying "it's time to end the event", not that we should forget what happened.
This is not what Susie's idiom expresses. It is not a reference to food or a "buffet".
If Susie were a flight attendant on a plane, she might say this, but not at a press conference.
This is an extreme interpretation of this particular idiom. Susie's expression is not a request for people to leave, but rather a polite way of saying "let's end this now".

1 show up: In his letter Bruno writes "I doubt that my brother will be attending this year, but there's always a small chance that he'll show up." This means that although Bruno doesn't think his brother will attend the meeting, there may be a small chance he will make an appearance, or "show up".
2 wrap up: "To wrap up (a meeting)" means to conclude a meeting. When Bruno writes "we'll wrap up the proceedings", he means that they will finish the "proceedings" (the meeting). To "wrap up" can also mean to summarise or recapitulate, for example: And so to wrap up, I'd just like to thank everyone for attending.
3 go over: "To go over (a report)" is to review or to examine a report, as in the example: "Can we go over it one more time? I don't understand." In the letter, Bruno writes "everyone will have a chance to go over this year's figures", which means that everyone at the meeting will have the opportunity to examine (or review) the budget figures. Note that "to go over" can have different meanings in different contexts.

1 we're getting a lot of phone calls: This is the correct choice. The expression "the phones are ringing off the hook" expresses that the phone is ringing frequently, and in this context that Donna is receiving many phone calls. A "hook" is a curved piece of metal, plastic or wood that used for holding things or hanging things up. Old fashioned phones had a hook used to hold the "handset" or "mouthpiece" of the telephone.
1 the phones aren't working properly: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "the phones are ringing off the hook" does not mean that the phones aren't working properly.
1 the phone lines are now open: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "the phones are ringing off the hook" does not mean that the phone lines are "open", or available for calls.
1 we're making a lot of calls: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "the phones are ringing off the hook" does not mean that a lot of calls are being made, but rather that they are being received!
2 small: This is the correct choice. "A slight chance (of rain)" refers to a "small" chance, or low probability (of rain)". On its own, the term "slight" describes something or someone that is fine and narrow, or a person of small build. In the broadcast, Donna tells Rupert that there is a 'slight chance of rain" in Scotland, meaning that there is a small chance that it will rain there.
2 thin: This is an incorrect choice. The term "thin" cannot be used to describe the probability of rain. The term "thin" is used to describe something that is very fine and narrow or a person of small build.
2 great: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "a slight chance of rain" does not refer to a "great" chance of rain, but rather to a small chance of rain.
2 decent: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "a slight chance of rain" does not refer to a "decent" or "reasonable" chance of rain.
3 bring things to an end: This is the correct choice. The expression "to wrap things up" refers to bringing something to an end, or concluding something, in this case a radio program. When Donna says, "We'll be back after the break to wrap things up", she means that after a commercial break, she will end her show.
3 continue as before: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "to wrap things up" does not mean to "continue as before". Donna wants to end the program, not continue it.
3 try something new: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "to wrap things up" does not mean to "try something new". Donna wants to end the program, not experiment or "try something new".
3 discuss this in detail: This is an incorrect choice. The expression "to wrap things up" does not mean to "discuss things further" or in more detail. Donna wants to end the program, not continue it.

"So that about wraps up my visit today gentlemen."

This is not what Curtis's idiom expresses. The expression "to wrap things up" does not mean to "continue as before".
"To wrap up (a meeting)" means to conclude a meeting. When Curtis says "that about wraps up my visit", he means that the visit is about to conclude, or that it is being brought to an end. To "wrap up" can also mean to summarise or recapitulate, for example: And so to wrap up, I'd just like to thank everyone for attending.
This is not what Curtis's idiom expresses. The expression "to wrap (something) up" does not mean to begin it.
This is not what Curtis's idiom expresses. He does say whether the visit has been instructive or not.
Exercice 5
"I'd like to wrap this meeting up"
This means:
This means:
"I'd like to wrap this meeting up"
This means:
This means:
This is incorrect. To summarize the main points discussed, we might say: "I'd like to go over the main points" OR "I would like to resume what we've discussed today."
This is correct. "To wrap (something) up" is to conclude or finish work on (something). Example: We need to WRAP UP this project before Christmas. In the conversation, Edward says, "Unless there are any other comments, I'd like to wrap this meeting up." This means that if nobody has anything else to say, he would like to end the meeting.
This is incorrect. To make a meeting move more quickly, we might say, "Let's speed things up, shall we?".
This is not the best choice here!
