Esercizio 1
Someone who is studying abroad is studying .
Someone who is studying abroad is studying in a foreign country.
in a foreign country: This is the best choice here. "To study abroad" means to study in a foreign country, or a country which is not your native one. By itself, "abroad" means "overseas" or in "a foreign country". Study abroad programs are a common aspect of American college students second and third year of studies.
a second language: "To study abroad" does not express that someone is studying "a second language", but rather that they are studying in a foreign country.
for an extended period: "To study abroad" does not express that someone is studying for an "extended period", but rather that they are studying in a foreign country.
during the summer: "To study abroad" does not express that someone is studying "during the summer", but rather that they are studying in a foreign country.

Susie says that Shmike was "guilty" of labor abuses in China, Vietnam and Indonesia in 1999. To be "guilty" of something is to be responsible for it (legally, financially, etc). A criminal is found "guilty" or innocent by a court of law. If Shmike was revealed to be guilty of labor abuses, they committed labor abuses.
Susie says that Shmike's facilities in Asia were essentially "sweatshops". A "sweatshop" is a factory or manufacturing plant in which workers are exploited, abused or underpaid. The term "sweatshop" is unrelated to "sweatshirts", or any type of merchandise.
Susie says that Shmike's products were "dominant", meaning they were successful (even that they dominated the market) during the 1990s. Susie adds that the products were dominant both "domestically", meaning on a national level (or within the U.S.), and "abroad", meaning "overseas" (or outside the U.S.). "Domestic" and "abroad" are synonymous with "national and international" in this context, and "dominant" shares a close meaning with the term "successful".
On the contrary, Susie says that Shmike refused to pay their Asian workers the money they were promised. This isn't an example of "overpaying", which is to pay more than what is expected or appropriate.

This is a true statement. The pharmacist asks Kevin if he is going "overseas", which is synonymous with "abroad". Both terms express the idea of traveling to another country. Kevin confirms that he will be traveling to Bangkok.
The expression "to do something on the spot" means to do something immediately or without planning or premeditation. We know that Kevin has actually called to order his medication in advance because he tells the pharmacist, "I called you earlier this week to pick up some medication." This tells us that Kevin isn't ordering his medication "on the spot". Medication refers to the pills and anti-biotics Kevin has ordered (not the condoms).
Kevin spells his name for the pharmacist, saying that it is just like the tennis player (Jimmy Connors). The pharmacist responds by saying that he doesn't "follow country club sports". The expression "I don't follow" has two primary meanings: either the speaker doesn't understand, or the speaker isn't a fan, or isn't interested in a subject. In this case, the pharmacist is expressing that he isn't interested in country club sports. A country club is a place where wealthy or rich people gather to socialize and play sports. Country club sports are generally golf and tennis. These clubs have the reputation of being places reserved for elite members of society.
This statement is false. The pharmacist asks Kevin to repeat his request for condoms by saying "what's that?". He then offers Kevin the "24 maxi-pack of condoms", which is a larger box of condoms. There is no indication that the pharmacist doesn't have any condoms.

1 abroad: "Abroad" is the right answer here. The term "abroad" describes any countries which are "foreign" or "in a different country". Examples: "Bruno can't take your call because he's abroad on business this week". Note that we do not need a preposition before the term "abroad".
2 reimburses: "Reimburses" is the correct answer. To "reimburse someone" is to return money to them, for example if they advanced you some money. Example: "If the concert is cancelled, we will reimburse the money you paid for your ticket".

When we want to welcome someone to a boat, a plane, etc., what can we say? There may be more than one correct answer!
"Welcome abroad" is not a good way to welcome someone to a ship etc. The term "abroad" means "in a foreign country": "I studied abroad in Spain for a year when I was younger". It is unrelated to the terms "aboard" and "on board".
This is not a good choice. The expression "Welcome to the board" could be used in a business context to greet a new member of the group of shareholders or directors of a company. It cannot be used in a literal sense to describe boarding a boat or other vehicle.
This is an appropriate answer. We say "welcome aboard!" to express our happiness that someone has arrived on an aeroplane, a ship, etc. Similarly, we can welcome a new member to a team, a group, a business, etc. Example: "Welcome aboard, Edward! We're happy you've joined our hockey team!".
This is a correct choice. If somebody or something is "on board", they are either literally on a boat, plane, bus, etc. OR they are part of a team or company. Examples: "There were thirty people on board the bus which crashed", "We have a new member of the Delavigne Corporation: welcome on board, Edward!".
