"Would you deny me my tse-tse flies, Icarus?"
me: "Me" is the missing word here. Horatio should have said "would you deny ME my tse-tse flies". To "deny someone something" is to refuse to give them something. Example: "You can't deny me my legal rights: I want to see my lawyer".
to me: It is grammatically incorrect to say "would you deny to me (my legal rights)".
I: It is grammatically incorrect to say "would you deny I (my legal rights)", because the speaker is the object of this sentence so we need to use "me".
myself: It is grammatically incorrect to say "would you deny myself (my legal rights)".

Which of the following sentences use(s) the verb "to deny" correctly?
There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a correct answer. To "deny" an accusation or an allegation is a very common way of using this term in English. It is often followed by the gerund form. Example "I deny eating all the biscuits from the tin. It wasn't me!".
This sentence does not use the term correctly. A better choice here would be "refused". Although "refuse" and "deny" can share a similar meaning, the terms cannot be used interchangeably.
This is not a good choice. The correct way to write this sentence would be "you have to deny yourself alcohol" or "you have to refuse or give up alcohol".
This sentence uses the verb to "deny" correctly. To "deny someone something" is to "prevent" or "stop" someone from having something. This was correctly used in this sentence.
Esercizio 3
Why has Kevin sent this email to Bruno?
Why has Kevin sent this email to Bruno?
Kevin does not have an existing appointment with Bruno. He is writing this email in order to schedule one. To "cancel" is to annul or make something void. In this context, it would signal that Kevin wanted to "break" or "call off" a meeting with Bruno.
Kevin's secret love for Bruno is not the issue here!
In the first line of his email, Kevin writes: "I have decided to send you this email to confirm a meeting time". In other words, Kevin wants "to schedule" an appointment with Bruno.
"Rescheduling (an appointment)" indicates that one appointment has already been made. There is no indication that Kevin has already made an appointment with Bruno.
To "deny" is not an appropriate choice here. Kevin in fact wants an appointment with Bruno.
Esercizio 4
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Horatio knows what he is working on, but he does not want to give this classified information to Warbuckle.
This statement is false. Horatio does not lie, he simply does not want to give certain information to Warbuckle.
To deny is different than "to disclose". "To deny" usually means to state that something is not true, for example: I deny these allegations that I killed his dog.
This is the true statement. Horatio says that he cannot "disclose" information about what he is working on (it is confidential), and so he cannot "reveal" or "disclose" any information.

1 to promise: This is the correct answer. "To swear" has two primary meanings and several idiomatic ones. The first is "to promise" something. In this case, Warbuckle swears that he "didn't know (Pedro) was an illegal in this country", which means that he promises he is telling the truth that he didn't know Pedro was an illegal immigrant. "To swear" can also mean to "curse" or to speak with foul language.
1 to curse: This is incorrect. In the context of the sentence, "to swear" does not mean "to curse". Note that in other contexts "to swear at (someone)" or "to swear (in a language)" is to curse or use fowl or insulting language. Example: He swore at me in Italian, so I headbutted him and received a red card.
1 to agree: This is incorrect. "To swear" does not mean "to agree". "To agree (with someone)" is to have the same views as them.
1 to deny: This is incorrect. "To swear" does not mean "to deny". "To deny" usually means to state that something is not true, for example: I deny these allegations that I killed his giraffe.
2 swore: This is correct. The irregular past form of "to swear" is "swore". Example: He swore to me he had never stolen the crown jewels.
2 sweared: This is incorrect. "To swear" is an irregular verb: swear/swore/sworn.
