Esercizio 1
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
This is the only choice which is not true. Even though Delavigne and Warbuckle will have a drink together, this is not their reason for meeting. They are meeting to discuss business and later they will have a drink to celebrate a new business agreement over some cold Scotch and peanuts. The drink is a future event, not one that has already happened.
This is a true statement. The text tells us that "Philip combs his hair" which implies that he cares profoundly about his appearance.
This is a true statement. In the text, we read "Susie calls her date", which means she has an appointment or meeting later.

1 make: This is correct. In English, one 'makes' an agreement. 'Should' (a modal auxiliary) is always followed by a verb in the infinitive form (without 'to') in constructions such as these. For example: You should GO to the meeting, we should FIND a new apartment.
2 do: This is correct. To 'do one's best' is to 'make an effort', or to try to accomplish something to the best of one's ability. Wendy uses the simple future tense in this construction, formed with the future auxiliary 'will' + the infinitive form of the main verb. Example: I will BUY a house, We will START a family.
3 to make: This is correct. 'To make a few bucks' is an informal expression meaning 'to make money'. For example, 'robbing banks is a good way to make a few bucks'. This expression is formed with the verb 'to make'. Note that 'bucks' is a slang term for 'dollars', and the entire expression is synonymous with 'to make money'.
4 to do: This is correct. 'To do one's hair/to do one's make up', is to style one's hair/to apply cosmetics. Wendy is speaking about an event in the future, using the construction 'be going to + infinitive'.

"All right" can replace "agreed" in this context. "All right" is used to check or ensure that someone agrees with you, or that they share the same opinion. It shares a similar meaning with "okay". Note that this term is often written as "alright", especially when reporting spoken English. Example: "Let's discuss this later, alright?".
"Do you agree?" is a good alternative for "agreed" in this sentence. Bruno wants to check that Luna has understood what he has said, and that they share the same point of view. Example: "I think the lounge needs re-decorating, do you agree?".
The term "agreement" is a noun, and it doesn't make grammatical sense to use a noun here.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect. We never use the verb "to be" with "agree".

This line usually comes at the end of a "letter of inquiry". It would most likely appear as a conclusion to Susie's letter to Kevin. If someone is writing to a company to request information about a product, they might end their letter with a line such as this.
This is the best choice here. Kevin thanks Susie for her "letter of inquiry". This means that Susie has written to him to ask for information. Thus, it would make sense for Kevin to begin his email by saying that he is happy she "contacted him" about "this matter".
This does not make sense here. Kevin and Susie have not "come to an agreement" about anything, because nothing has been discussed. He is simply providing her with information.
This line would not make sense in this context. Kevin has not received a "response" from Susie. Rather, his letter is a "response" to Susie's email.
Esercizio 5
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
1 aware of: This is the correct choice. To be "up-to-date (on current events) is to know about or understand current events. Example: "I'm not up-to-date on the situation in the Middle East. What has happened there recently?". Similarly, an "up-to-date computer" is one which is new or current. "To be aware of a situation" and to be 'up-to-date" share a close meaning in this context.
1 in agreement with: This isn't the best choice. To "be in agreement with (someone) is to share someone's opinion, or to think the same way about something. To be 'up-to-date (on a situation)" is unrelated.
1 adhering to: This isn't the best choice. To "adhere to (a rule)" is to follow or obey it, which doesn't mean the same thing as to be "up-to-date".
2 employment: This is the right answer. "Hiring" and "employment" both refer to the practice of giving people jobs. Example: "Luna DeLune is the HR Director, and deals with hiring new employees to the company".
2 termination: This is incorrect. "Firing" refers to terminating someone's employment, perhaps due to incompetence or repeated mistakes. "Firing" and "hiring" have opposite meanings.
2 compensation: This is incorrect. "Compensation" refers to payment in a business context. This idea is unrelated to the "hiring policy" which Luna is referring to.
