True or False? Employees of the Delavigne Corporation can dress however they like on Fridays.
True or False? Employees of the Delavigne Corporation can dress however they like on Fridays.
This is a true statement. The employees of the company may dress however they want to each Friday. Polly tells Icarus that on Fridays "everyone is allowed to wear jeans and a tee-shirt, or whatever else they prefer". To be "allowed" to do something is to be permitted to do it.
This statement is not false.
Esercizio 2
Initially, Borbala says that she does not have to .
Initially, Borbala says that she does not have permission 1 to reveal personal details 2.
1 permission: This is the best choice here. Borbala says "she is not allowed" to disclose this information, which means she does not have "permission" or "authority" to give Reed Fountainjot any personal information.
1 the courage: There is no evidence in this article that Borbala does not have the courage, or is not brave enough, to give Reed personal information.
1 time: There is no evidence in this article that Borbala does not have the time to give Reed personal information. This is not the best choice here.
1 the desire: There is no evidence in this article that Borbala does not have desire to give Reed personal information. This is not the best choice here.
2 reveal personal details: Fountainjot writes that Borbala cannot "disclose" any information, which refers to Reed's earlier questions about her name, age and location. "To disclose" means "to reveal" or "to divulge".
2 hide her identity: This is not the best choice here. "To disclose" is not synonymous with "to hide".
2 celebrate her Hungarian heritage: This is not the best choice here. While Borbala is hesitant to give Reed Fountainjot personal information, this has nothing to with Borbala celebrating her cultural heritage.
2 confess her admiration for mechanically-inept American journalists: Hmmn. Interesting theory, but there's really no evidence to support it.
Esercizio 3
In the second paragraph of her email, Polly writes that she Miss Stake's personal files.
In the second paragraph of her email, Polly writes that she was not authorized to read Miss Stake's personal files.
was not authorized to read: This is the best choice here. Polly writes: "I wasn't allowed access to Miss Stake's personal files". "To be allowed access to (the files)" means "to have the authorization to see them". For example: Under the Freedom of Information Act in the United States, citizens are "allowed access" to a huge database of information. Often during a trial, members of the press are not "allowed access" to certain "confidential" information, in order to protect the people involved.
wasn't able to locate: Polly wasn't "allowed access" to the files, but this does not mean that she could not find them.
couldn't unlock the doors to: Although we can say that someone wasn't "allowed access" to a building or a room, there is no indication here that Polly was "locked out". Miss Stake's files are not a location which can be "unlocked" or opened with a special key or other device.
read a short review of: Polly says that she was never able to read the manuals.

This is not a true statement. Bruno tells Philip 'don't interrupt', and later tells him to 'calm down' which indicates that he will not 'allow' or 'permit' Philip to interrupt Susie during her argument.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'immediately after the public became aware of their labor practices, Shmike's stock dropped 44% despite a booming stock market.' When she says 'the public became aware' she means that the public 'found out' or 'discovered the truth' about the company's labor practices.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'Angry factory workers in Indonesia actually raided their own facility and stole merchandise and equipment...' This means that mistreated Shmike workers entered their own factories in order to steal merchandise and machinery from the factory. To 'raid' is to invade, usually for the purpose of stealing. To break into (a house) is to enter it by force.
This is not the best choice. It is Philip who 'insists on making this a financial issue'. Susie presents an argument which takes into account both the ethical and financial disadvantages of using cheap labor. It would be inaccurate to say that Susie believes that labor abuse is 'strictly', or 'purely' a financial issue.

This is an incorrect choice. Rupert never makes any statements about who should be allowed to attend rugby matches. He actually says that more and more women attending rugby matches "can only be a good thing", meaning he is very happy about it!
This is a correct choice. Rupert says, "more and more women are attending the matches", meaning that rugby is becoming more popular with women than it has been in the past. The verb "to attend" means "to participate in (an event)" or "to assist (an event)".
This is an incorrect choice. In fact, Rupert begins this report by asking the rugby fan "why do rugby fans have such a spirit of fair-play?" He is in fact asking why the fans have such a high degree of "fair-play". Both Rupert and the rugby fan agree that rugby fans respect the rules and behave well at rugby matches.
This is an incorrect choice. There is no indication that Rupert thinks rugby is "on the decline", or doing increasingly worse. In fact, he notes that rugby is a sport "on the rise", meaning that it is becoming more and more popular.
