1 dropped out: The phrasal verb "to drop out (of school)" means to stop attending or ending one's studies. This expression is American, though it is currently used in British English. Dr. Loblaw explains to Dr. Donna that his brother "dropped out of high school" and joined the Navy (the marine branch of the military).
2 beat: The verb "to beat" literally describes "striking" or "hitting" someone or something forcefully and/or repeatedly. Figuratively, the term can also describe victory or defeat, in a sport for example: "I beat him in a game of chess", or "We were beaten 5 to 2 by the team of dwarves". In this conversation, Dr. Loblaw confesses that his father "beat him" regularly.
3 beat: The verb "to beat" is irregular and is conjugated as "beat" in the simple past tense. To beat: beat/beat/beaten.
4 beaten: This construction must use the present perfect tense. The verb "to beat" is irregular and is conjugated as "beaten" in the past participle form. To beat: beat/beat/beaten.

Select the TRUE statements about Susan Bliss according to the audio you heard. There may be more than one correct answer!
Select the TRUE statements about Susan Bliss according to the audio you heard. There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Brian Jones introduces Susan by saying that she "handles all our public relations and advertising". "To handle (a task)" is to manage it or take care of it. Susan Bliss is in fact the director of public relations for the Delavigne Corporation and the head of the marketing department.
This is a false statement. "To drop out of (a school, a university)" is leave without finishing. Example: I dropped out of my school to become a plumber. On the contrary, Brian says that "Susan graduated at the top of her class at Oxford". "To graduate at the top of the class" is to receive an academic degree with better results compared to all the other students.
This statement is false. Harold asks if Susan has an Irish accent, but Susie denies this, saying it is "British actually".
