Which of the following statements is true?
Which of the following statements is true?
This is not the correct choice. Although as a noun a "patient" is someone who is sick or staying at a hospital or medical institution, as an adjective, the word has a much different meaning.
This is the only true statement here. Polly says Warbuckle is "getting" impatient'. Another way to say this is "He is becoming impatient."
Harold Warbuckle has not left yet!
Although Polly tells Bruno that Harold Warbuckle is "getting impatient", this does not indicate that Harold Warbuckle has a history of impatience, or that he has "always been" impatient.

Polly writes that she knows "how you guys get when the alcohol starts flowing". Judging by the context of the phrase, this means that Polly knows how Horatio, Bruno and Bob:
Polly writes that she knows "how you guys get when the alcohol starts flowing". Judging by the context of the phrase, this means that Polly knows how Horatio, Bruno and Bob: act when there is alcohol present.
act when there is alcohol present.: Polly is stating that she is familiar with the way that Horatio, Bruno and Bob "act" when alcohol is present. In this phrase, the verb "to get" is synonymous with "to become". This use of the verb "to get" is one of several; it is a very versatile term in English.
drink their alcohol.: This is incorrect. Polly is familiar with "how" the men act when drinking, not literally "how they drink".
obtain their alcohol.: This is incorrect. In this context, the verb "to get" is not being used in the sense of "to obtain". In a different context however, "to get" can mean "to obtain" as in the sentence "Where did you get that piece of cake?"
feel about being sick during parties.: This is incorrect. Polly is explaining her familiarity with the men's actions when they drink, not their feelings on her own poor health.
