Excerpt: The US property market, currently suffering a credit crisis, has suddenly become great value for Britons who cannot cope with the sky-high house prices at home.
There may be more than one correct answer!
This is incorrect. The article states that "British visitors to the US have grown used to the strange sensation of seeing bargains all around." This means that the British find American goods inexpensive. A "bargain" is a "good deal" or "very good value" item. Example: I found a bargain the other day, an original copy of the Beaties Fabbey Rd album for $10.
This is correct. We read in the article that "the US property market has suddenly become great value for Britons" and that "the collapse of the dollar is key". One of the main points of the article is to suggest that the pound is currently very strong against the dollar, meaning that the US housing market is attractive to British property buyers.
This is incorrect. The article mentions the "sheer speed of the collapse of the dollar" and goes on to state that the "pound has risen 34 per cent against the dollar compared with five years ago, including 10 per cent in the past 12 months". This is a very fast rise!
This is incorrect. The article states "British buyers come in all shapes and sizes", meaning that there are many different types of British buyers. There is no mention that only rich Britons can afford to buy property in the US.
This is correct. In the article we read that Britons "cannot cope with the sky-high house prices at home", meaning that British people are finding that house prices are too high in the UK. The verb "to cope" describes being able to tolerate or support a situation. Example: Bruno couldn't cope with the pain in his tooth, so he went to the dentist. A "sky-high (price)" is a price which is very high.

1 bargaining: This is the correct choice. Brian and Donna are bargaining, or negotiating on a price. To "bargain" is to negotiate the terms of an agreement or exchange. For example, "I was able to buy this beautiful Persian rug for almost nothing, but the shopkeeper bargained pretty hard. He told me that, at this price, his 12 children would be starving in the streets".
1 arguing: This is an incorrect choice. "To argue" in this context means to exchange differing views often in an angry way. Although Donna is a "hard bargainer" (a person who will go to great lengths to get her conversation-partner to agree to a price that's favorable to her), she is not actually having an argument with Brian. She's just trying to get him to lower his price.
1 flirting: This is an incorrect choice. To "flirt" is to make playfully romantic or sexual overtures. There's not much about this exchange that's playful or romantic.
1 fighting: This is an incorrect choice. Donna rather unreasonably offers $210 for the pair of scarves at one point, and Brian gets upset with her, saying, "Stop being so silly. If you can't negotiate like an adult, I won't consider you to be a serious customer". He is not fighting with her, though, but trying to get her to bargain with him more appropriately.
2 2 scarves: This is a correct choice. Brian originally wanted to sell the scarves individually for $300 per scarf, but eventually dropped his price to $400 for the pair. A "pair" is a set of two, and can be two of nearly anything - from a pair of aces (if you're playing poker) to a pair of Herpès scarves.
2 a pair of shoes: This is an incorrect choice. Donna actually buys scarves, not shoes.
2 a chair: This is an incorrect choice. "Pair" can sound a little like "chair", but they are very different things indeed.
2 a woman's suit: This is an incorrect choice. When Brian says, "I think they'd really suit you", he's telling Donna that the scarves would look nice on her.
2 nothing: This is an incorrect choice. Donna ended up buying both of Brian's scarves.
3 400: This is the final price which Brian and Donna agree upon.
3 500: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Brian initially wants to sell his scarves, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 200: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Donna initially proposes, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 215: This is incorrect. Although this is on of the prices Donna proposed by Donna, she eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.

This is a true statement. In the article we read that Britons "cannot cope with the sky-high house prices at home", meaning that British people are finding that house prices are too high in the UK. The verb "to cope" describes being able to tolerate or deal with a situation. Example: Bruno couldn't cope with the pain in his tooth, so he went to the dentist. A "sky-high (price)" is a price which is extremely high.
This statement is not true. The article states "British buyers come in all shapes and sizes", meaning that there are many different types of British buyers. There is no mention that only rich Britons can afford to buy property in the US. An "income" refers to one's "revenue" or "earnings", usually one's "salary" or the amount one is paid.
This is a false statement. The article states that "British visitors to the US are used to the strange sensation of seeing bargains all around." A "bargain" is a "good deal" or a "very good value" item. Example: I found a bargain the other day: an original copy of the Beaties Fabbey Rd album for $10. "Goods" refers to "merchandise", "products" or "stock".

This means that the Miracle software:
Icarus tells Bob that the Miracle software ...meets Delavigne's requirements.
This means that the Miracle software:
This means that the Miracle software:
This is not what Icarus is referring to when he says that the Miracle software "meets our requirements". Something "highly-regarded" is recommended or well thought of.
This is the best choice here. The expression "to meet our requirements" shares a very similar meaning with the expression "to fulfill our needs". Both phrases indicate that "expectations", "requirements" or "objectives" are being "met", "fulfilled" or "reached".
A user-friendly program is simple or easy to use. This is not what Icarus is referring to when he says that the Miracle software "meets our requirements"
This expression does not indicate that the software is a great "bargain", which means that it is inexpensive.
