Bob says that he and Icarus have been working across the hall from each other for "over" 13 years which indicates that they have been working across the hall for "more than" thirteen years. This is a long period of time.
Bob refers to the charges by saying, "Well, I can't imagine what they might be". This is Bob's way of saying that he doesn't know anything about the charges. The verb "to claim" describes the act of declaring or stating something which may or may not be true. Example: The president claimed he didn't know anything about the tax deficit.
This is incorrect. Bruno, Bob and Icarus discuss the problem of Bob's expense account, but they haven't resolved the problem yet. To "resolve (a problem)" is to "answer" or "fix" it. The drinks served at the end of the dialogue are to accompany the meeting.
Bob says that his son "just had a minor case of the flu", which means that he had a minor viral infection (usually with the following symptoms: fever, sore throat, muscle pains, and a headache). A "mild illness" refers to a sickness which is moderate or not serious.

This is correct. Lawrence tells the Delavigne staff he "watched some of the bravest men of his generation die". In this sentence "to watch" is synonymous with the verb "to witness".
Lawrence never says that he himself "nearly" (or almost) died in Namibia. He is expressing that he saw other people around him die while he was in the country.
This is correct. After Lawrence explains that he spent 3 years in "the forests of Namibia". Icarus questions this statement by asking Lawrence if Namibia actually has forests (it does not).
"To threaten" someone is to "menace" them. Lawrence is not threatening to kill Icarus, although he does say that he saw people die during his time in the military.
To "murder someone" is to "kill them". Lawrence is not expressing that he killed anybody himself, but rather that he saw people die.

This statement is true. Calahan "claimed that the marks on his body were scars left after aliens had carried out experiments on him". The phrase "to carry out experiments" describes the act of "experimenting" or performing experiments. Calahan is expressing his belief that the aliens manipulated him while he was aboard their spacecraft. The verb "to claim" describes a belief which isn't necessarily true, or isn't (yet) supported by fact. Example: She claimed she saw a flying pig but I don't believe her.
This statement is false. The doctors examining Verne Calahan did find "strange marks all over his body" but nothing in the report states that these marks were caused by aliens or Martians experimenting on him. To abduct someone means to take them somewhere against their will. Example: Everyone was relieved when the abducted child was returned safe and sound.
This statement is false. It's actually the contrary. Moira reports that Verne Calahan was found after having "disappeared nearly twenty years ago." Verne Calahan believes he had only been gone for a few hours but he had in fact been missing for 20 years.
This is a true statement. Moira MacDonald refers to Verne Calahan as a "devoted husband and father of three". A "devoted" husband cares for his wife and is dedicated to her, and can therefore be considered a "good" husband. In English, we often describe parents as "fathers of three" or "mothers of five", a title which describes how many children a mother or father has.

1 warn: "Warning" is the correct answer. To "warn" someone is to advise or notify them of something, and usually implies that they should be careful. The term often signals approaching danger. Another example: "I warned you not to bother me when I'm sleeping. Now, I'm going to get my revenge!" In the dialogue, Ira states that it is his responsibility to "warn" or alert his fellow shareholders that Delavigne stock is becoming a bad investment, in his opinion.
2 claimed: "Claimed" is the correct answer. To "claim (this land in the name of the Queen)" is to assert or declare the possession of a new land for her majesty. In this example, the speaker would like to assert or take credit for a good idea. In this dialogue, Bruno suggests that Ira doesn't truly represent the shareholders' opinions, as he claims to do. Another example: "He claimed all responsibility for the disaster."
3 retain: "Retain" is the correct answer. To "retain" is to keep possession of something. Another example: "After a long court battle, I was able to retain custody of my children." In this dialogue, Ira says that he can't recommend that the shareholders "retain", or keep, their shares of Delavigne stock because of its recent decline.

This is a true statement. Gertrude says "your address is two two four" before Bruno interrupts her. She then goes on to say "yes, I know it is". She is sure that she knows where Bruno lives. To "claim" is to "assert" something, or insist that something is a fact.
This statement is false. There is no indication in the dialogue that Bruno has won a contest or competition. In fact, Gertrude never really explains why she is calling!
This is a false statement. Bruno and Gertrude do not know each other. She addresses him as "sir", which is a formal title used for men we don't know. She also has to say that her "name is Gertrude Warner", implying that they do not know each other.
