a rival: A "competitor" is a "rival" or "adversary". The term is used frequently in both business and sports contexts.
a small computer: This is simply incorrect. Although the word "competitor" has the prefix "com" and the word "petit" within it, a "competitor" is not actually a small computer.

1 Incorrect: A "competitor" is a "rival" or "adversary". The term is used frequently in both business and sports contexts.
1 Correct: This is not correct!
2 Incorrect: This sentence is incorrect. One cannot "have envy" for something grammatically, nor does this term express that you want to do something. To express that you want to go swimming, you could say "I feel like swimming". "To envy (your neighbor)" is to be jealous of them or want to be like them. In general, this term has a negative connotation in English. If the competitors "envy" Horatio's talents, then they are jealous of his talents, or want them for themselves.
2 Correct: This sentence is not correct.
3 Incorrect: This sentence is incorrect. The term "envy" does not express a simple desire or a feeling of wanting to do something. "To envy (your neighbor)" is to be jealous of them or want to be like them. In general, this term has a negative connotation in English. To express that you want to eat at a restaurant, you could say "I feel like eating at a restaurant tonight."
3 Correct: This sentence is not correct.
4 Correct: This sentence is correct, both grammatically and in terms of meaning. If Tarzan "envies" Jane's ability to calm the monkeys, then he wants to have the same ability himself. "To envy (someone or something)" is to be jealous of it, or want it for yourself.
4 Incorrect: This sentence is not incorrect.

Fill in the blanks with terms used in the conversation you have just heard.

This term means to reduce company costs, often by firing personnel. "Many European firms are being forced to downsize 1 in order to reduce their wage bill."

This term is synonymous with "prospect", "forecast" or "expectation" and describes a belief about the future. "Exporters to the Middle East face an uncertain outlook 2."

This term describes a rival company active in the same market. "Coca Schmola has begun a price war with its main competitor 3, Pepschitt."

Delavigne is the best 1 company on the Earth 2,
No one else 3 can compare to our worth 4,
We will eat 5* the competition 6,
Beat 7* our enemies into submission 8!

* : these words are repeated three times, but you can write them once!
1 best: "(The) best" is the superlative form of "good" (good, better, the best). Example: The Sopranos is better than Lost, but Star Trek is the best TV series ever! According to Edward, Delavigne is the best company on the Earth.
2 Earth: The Earth is the name of the planet we live on (unless of course you are doing your Gymglish in space!). Example: In Star Trek, by the year 2200 AD, the planet EARTH has become a utopia. Edward sings that Delavigne is "the best company on the Earth". That means that the company is pretty good.
3 else: "Else" is a common yet difficult word to master! In this context (no one else can compare to our worth), the "else" us added to emphasize the fact that "no one", or no other company, is as good as Delavigne. Another example: No one ELSE can make soup like my grandmother - ONLY my grandmother makes soup as good as that.
4 worth: Your "worth" is your value. It can be in terms of money, usefulness or importance. Edward thinks that "no one else can compare to Delavigne's worth", which means no other company can compete with Delavigne in terms of excellence or importance. Note: "worth" rhymes with "earth".
5 eat: To eat is to put food in your mouth and swallow so that it goes to your stomach - yum! Edward says that "(Delavigne) is going to eat the competition". This is a metaphorical way (I hope!) of saying that they are going to beat or out-compete other companies!
6 competition: The "competition" is rivals: people or companies that are competing against you. Example: Coke's principal COMPETITION is Pepsi. Edward wants "to eat the competition", which is an exaggerated way of saying he wants Delavigne to perform better than rival companies.
7 Beat: "To beat" is to strike forcefully and repeatedly. Example: My teacher BEAT me with a ruler because I forgot my homework. Edward sings that they will "beat (their) enemies into submission" (see more below). Note: "to beat" also means "to defeat". Example: Hannah BEAT the other candidates to get the job.
8 submission: "Submission" is the act of submitting to the power of another. "To beat someone into submission" literally means to use physical force to make someone surrender! Example: The Romans BEAT the Goths INTO SUBMISSION. However, this expression can be more metaphorical, meaning to make someone accept your conditions. Example: I didn't want to go and see Avatar, but my girlfriend finally BEAT ME INTO SUBMISSION.

According to Scott McCully, what advantages does New Zealand offer for a new Delavigne office?

There may be more than one correct answer!
According to Scott McCully, what advantages does New Zealand offer for a new Delavigne office?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is correct. Scott McCully says that "rent prices are reasonable". "Rent prices" refer to the amount of money that ones pays to use or live in a building, apartment or office. A "reasonable (price)" is one which is affordable or moderate.

This is correct. Scott McCully says that "with a bit of careful management, both the Sydney and the Wellington teams will enjoy some healthy competition." Scott is expressing an opinion that having 2 offices - one in Sydney and the other in Wellington - will encourage healthy rivalry, and will be a positive force in increasing sales results. "Competition" refers to "rivalry": people or companies that are in a contest against you.
This is correct. Scott McCully says that "corporate taxes are a lot lower than in Australia." "Corporate taxes" refers to the charges imposed by public authorities on the incomes of corporations.
