1 False: This statement is false. Luna uses the common expression "I'm dying (to share my ideas)", which indicates a great desire or even a desperation to do something, in this case to share her ideas. For example: I'm dying to see the new film by Goddard. I heard it's really exciting and easy to understand. Luna is not literally dying, nor is she suffering from any life-threatening diseases.
1 True: This statement is not true.
2 False: Although Luna recommends (or urges) her colleagues to recycle in general, and specifically encourages that they use recycled "wrapping paper" for their gifts, she doesn't suggest that the staff recycle the gifts themselves. To recycle a gift is to give someone an older gift, for example one which was not appreciated, and thus given away a second time.
2 True: This statement is not true.
3 False: This statement is false. There is no indication in Luna's suggestion that she has made a list of people to buy presents for. Luna requests that Polly make a list of the entire staff but this is unrelated.
3 True: This statement is not true.
4 True: This is a correct statement, and the main idea of this text. Luna writes to suggest that everyone participate in a "Secret Santa" event at the Christmas party. She then goes on to explain how the event will work: everyone buys a gift, and brings it to the party where it will be given to the appropriate person.
4 False: This statement is not false.
