Excerpt: So I'd like to extend a formal invitation to my new ranch in Crawford, Texas.

This statement is false. Warbuckle writes that there is a "matter" he would like to discuss with Bruno, although he doesn't specify what it is. Warbuckle clearly does want to talk about something with Bruno.
This statement is false. There is nothing in the text to suggest that Bruno has been to Warbuckle's ranch in the past. Moreover, Warbuckle writes "I would like to extend a formal invitation to my NEW ranch." This indicates that it has been built recently and therefore it is very unlikely that Bruno has been there before.
This statement is true. Warbuckle's e-mail is an invitation to spend some time on his newly remodeled Texas ranch. Harold details all the new additions to the ranch and encourages Bruno to take some time off and visit him. Warbuckle also, "I would like to extend a formal invitation to my new ranch in Crawford, Texas". To "extend an invitation" is a formal way of inviting someone somewhere.
This statement is false. Although Warbuckle does offer to pick Bruno up on his new Harley Davidson motorcycle, he writes that Bruno should "book (himself) a ticket". To "book" a ticket means to reserve one and/or pay for it in advance. This tells us that Bruno should make his own arrangements to get to Texas.

This is correct. Bruno tells the clerk (Camilla) "your hotel was highly recommended to us by our colleague Brian Jones". The clerk then replies "Oh, Brian Jones! Please tell him that Camilla says hello." This tells us that Brian Jones not only likes the hotel but also that he and Camilla know each other.
This is incorrect. Although the hotel clerk does inform Bruno and Donna that it will be "tough (or difficult) to find a room for tonight" she makes no mention of a conference. Her statement does not indicate that the hotel is full either. Towards the end of the dialogue, Bruno does mention a conference, but only because he wonders whether breakfast will be served there.
This statement is true. Donna says "You know, Bruno, we could book one room. Just to save a little money, and I wouldn't mind sharing a room with you". She is offering to sleep in the same room as Bruno. By the tone of her voice, she may have an ulterior motive for wanting to sleep in the same room as Bruno...
This is a true statement. At the end of the conversation, Bruno tells the clerk that he wants to book two separate rooms. He declines Donna's offer to share one room. The verb "to book" is often used to refer to reserving something, such as a hotel room, a plane ticket, etc.
This statement is false. The hotel clerk makes no mention of payment or checks (or "cheques" (UK)) in this dialogue. She does ask when Bruno and Donna will be "checking out" of the hotel, however here she wants to know when they will be leaving. The expression "to check out (of a hotel)" describes the act of officially ending a stay in a hotel and usually involves paying the bill.

This statement is false. Although Bethany does want to discuss a "delicate" matter with Donna, there is no indication that this is a "legal matter" (a matter which concerns the law). A "matter" in this context refers to a subject of conversation or an issue. Bethany mentions that she will be in court on Thursday, which is the only reference to "law" or "legal matters" in this message.
This is a true statement. In her outgoing message, Donna specifies that people who wish to make an appointment should use her "online booking form". To "book (an appointment)" refers to scheduling or reserving one. Example: I have booked an appointment at the dentist for 2:30pm on Tuesday. An "online booking form" is a form accessible by Internet which allows people to reserve appointments "online". This tells us that Donna doesn't want people to schedule or "book" appointments over the phone.
This is a true statement. Bethany tells Donna that she changed her number because she was getting "abusive calls from a man (she) sent to prison". An "abusive phone call" is one that is "menacing" or "threatening". We can assume that these phone calls are unwanted.
This statement is false. Bethany says in her message, "It's been ages since I've seen you". The expression "it's been ages" expresses that "it has been a long time" since Donna and Bethany have spoken. This tells us that Donna and Bethany have not spoken to each other recently.

This is incorrect. When Brian asks Bruno "And you'd like me to make arrangements for your stay in Rome?", Bruno replies "Actually, no. I've had Polly do that already." To "make arrangements for a trip" is to schedule and organize things (airfare, accommodation) for a trip.
This is correct. Bruno has asked Brian to do some research on Mr. Wang, saying: "I need to know if he's someone I should watch out for." In this context, to "watch out (for someone)" is to "be careful of" or "be vigilant of" them. Example: Do you think I should watch out for Sarah? She's been acting very strangely lately. A "threat" is someone or something regarded as a possible danger or menace.
This is incorrect. Bruno says "I've been invited to Rome next week for an international congress". The location of the cosmetics congress is Italy not Asia. The theme of the conference "the changing face of the cosmetics industry given the increased presence of Asian players on the market."

1 to: When describing a location, in the imperative voice, "welcome" is always followed by the preposition "to". Example: "Welcome to England", "Welcome to the annual board meeting".
2 booking: "To book" means "to reserve" or "to buy in advance", and is the correct term here. A "booking" is a reservation. Example: "I've booked twenty tickets for the opera tomorrow night".
3 Press: "To press" is "to apply pressure or force", and is the best answer here. We often use this verb to talk about "touching or dialling buttons or keys" on the telephone or a computer keyboard. Example: "If you are calling about a technical problem, press "1" now".
4 pound: The "pound sign" is this symbol: "#". Note that this term is only used in the US: it is called "the hash sign" in British English. Example: "The pound key on my phone is broken". Note also that "pound" has several meanings, both as a noun and a verb. The term "pound" rhymes with "sound", "around", and "found".
5 key: "Key" is the best answer, as part of the two-word term "pound key". This describes the button of a telephone where we find the "#" sign. Example: "Press the star key if you want to talk to an operator".
6 tone: "Tone" is the best choice here. In a telephone context, the "tone" is the "beep" which often indicates the moment at which you can leave a message for the person you are calling. Example: "At the tone, please leave your name and number, and I'll contact you as soon as possible".
