Esercizio 1
Bob talks about "discount" software. Which of the following words or phrases shares a close meaning with "discounted"?
Bob talks about "discount" software. Which of the following words or phrases shares a close meaning with "discounted"?
"Compatible" does not share a similar meaning with "discount" or "discounted". If a software program is compatible with another program, it means that it "works well" or "complements" the other program.
A "name brand" product is one which is manufactured by a known company or label ("Armani" or "Reebok" for example). The term doesn't share a similar meaning with "discount" or "discounted".
This is the best choice here. As an adjective, "budget" expresses a similar meaning as the term "discount". If we talk about "budget software" or "budget automobiles" we are talking about "discount" or "inexpensive" software or automobiles. Example: My dad sells budget mobile phones from the back of his car.
"Generic" products are usually products that are manufactured by "brand" companies, however they are not packaged with the brand name on them. Although generic products tend to be cheaper than expensive brand products, the term "generic" suggests an average price, rather than a "discounted" or "budget" price.

1 discount: A "discount" is a "reduction" in the normal or standard price, for example: I can give you a discount if you buy more than 10. In this conversation, Quentin says that he and Brian "could even discuss discounts" if the Delavigne Corporation decides to buy the Frantastiques method. Brian replies by saying "Discounts? You said the magic word Quentin", which means that Brian thinks that discounts are a good thing, which could convince Delavigne to purchase the training.
2 commitment: A "commitment" is an obligation or promise, often financial. Quentin says that "the trial version (of Frantastiques) is one hundred percent free! Without commitment!", meaning that there is no financial obligation after the test has been completed. Note that "non-binding" is often used as a synonym for "without commitment".
3 rates: In a business context, "rate" is generally synonymous with "cost" or "price", but strictly speaking it is a fixed charge per quantity or per unit. Example: The rates of my English classes are 30 euros an hour. Quentin says that Frantastiques "sells annual subscriptions at very competitive rates", this means that the prices per lesson are not expensive and compare well to similar programs.

1 gloomy: "Gloomy" means "unpromising", "grim", or "hopeless". It is frequently used in weather bulletins and economic predictions: "The forecast for the weekend is gloomy."

According to Kevin's email, what did option A consist of?
(choose one or more of the following)
(choose one or more of the following)
According to Kevin's email, what did option A consist of?
(choose one or more of the following)
(choose one or more of the following)
This is incorrect. There is no mention of issuing an apology in Kevin's email.
This statement is false. According to Bruno, changing his telephone number is "option B" (the second of Kevin's solutions mentioned in the P.S.). Bruno doesn't mention "option A" in his email, but we can assume it refers to Kevin's first and more expensive solution which includes buying back the product at a cost of 1.8 million dollars.
This is a correct choice. Kevin's lists the retailers that sell Eiffel Shower Gel and estimates the cost of buying back the product.
This is correct. Kevin writes in his email that Delavigne will have to "issue product vouchers to customers who have already purchased Eiffel Shower Gel." This means customers will be given coupons that entitle them to buy Delavigne products.
This statement is true. Kevin writes that Delavigne will have to "offer significant discount on future shipments to all retail partners". A "discount" is a price reduction, a "shipment" is an act of shipping or sending goods. For example: I ordered a shipment of wine and was given a 10 percent discount.
This is not a correct choice. There is no suggestion that Kevin is going to leave the company.

This is an incorrect statement. Steffi does not change her original order of 80,000 units of Bruno's Brew, despite Philip's attempts to encourage her to purchase more of Delavigne's products.
This is an incorrect statement. Steffi tells Philip that the Epikure Kosmetiks' buying commission were very impressed with Delavigne's perfumes. Steffi says: "I admit that the samples we received were a success with the buying commission". To "admit (something" is to "acknowledge" or "be honest" about it. Example: I admit that I make mistakes occasionally.
This is a correct statement. Philip says "Just for you a 30 percent discount on all units of Liquid Dynamite". A "discount" is a price reduction, generally offered in an attempt to increase retail turnover. Philip says that this offer is exclusive to Epikure Kosmetiks.
