Horatio asks Polly to "hand him a towel" on (her) way out. He wants Polly to pass him a towel 1.
Another way to say "on your way out" is as you are leaving 2.
Another way to say "on your way out" is as you are leaving 2.
1 pass him a towel: This is the best choice here. In English "to hand" is used as a verb meaning "to pass" or "to give". It is often used in the imperative voice, as Horatio is using it in this dialogue. Horatio is asking Polly to physically pass him a towel.
1 lend him a towel: This is not what Horatio asks of Polly. To "lend" means to "loan" or "to give something temporarily", with the understanding that it will be returned eventually.
1 take his towel: This is not what Horatio wants Polly to do.
1 dry his hands with a towel: This is not what Horatio wants Polly to do. "To dry (one's hands)" is to remove the moisture or liquid from them, as one might do with a towel.
1 request a towel from management: This is not what Horatio is asking Polly to do. Horatio simply wants Polly to pass her a towel, not to "request one from management".
2 as you are leaving: This is the best choice here. The expression "on your way out" is synonymous with the expression "as you are leaving". When Horatio says "hand me a towel on your way out", he is essentially saying "give me a towel as you exit the laboratory". We use this expression to indicate the moment when someone exits a room, house, apartment or building.
2 once you are outside: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio is not requesting that Polly hand him a towel "from outside of Horatio's laboratory, but rather he is asking her to hand him a towel "WHILE" or 'AS she is leaving his laboratory".
2 if you'll be kind enough: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio's expression refers to Polly exiting his office, and is not related to her "kindness" or consideration.
2 when you return: This is not what Horatio's idiom expresses. Horatio's expression refers to Polly exiting his office, and is not related to her return.

The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express the idea of an event 'being held' or 'taking place' at a certain location.
The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express that an object was 'placed', 'put' or 'hung' somewhere. We might say that the jackets were hung on the wall; this originates from the verb 'to hang'. Often we 'hang' things on a small hook.
In this context, the verb 'to handle' means to physically manipulate or even 'to touch'. It is related to the noun 'hands' and is one of the most common meanings of the verb. 'Handle with care' is often marked on packages and simply means that the item inside is 'fragile'.
Do not mistake the verb 'to hand', which means to pass something (to someone). The verb 'to handle' cannot be used to express this.
As a reflexive verb, 'to handle oneself' means to 'conduct oneself' or 'to behave'. The sentence 'Susie always handles herself with dignity and class' means that Susie always 'conducts herself' or behaves with dignity and class.
This is a correct use of the verb 'to handle'. Here the verb expresses a similar meaning to the verbs 'to treat' or 'to manage'. The sentence 'I didn't like the way the problem was handled' expresses that the speaker didn't like the way the problem was 'managed', 'treated' or 'dealt with'.
The verb 'to handle' expresses a meaning similar to the verb 'to tolerate' or 'to take' in this sentence. 'To handle the pressure' is a common English idiom (both American and British).

This statement is false. Polly begins her email by listing some of "the more ridiculous suggestions" she received. She then goes on to list the ones that did "catch (her) eye". This indicates that she considered at least some of the suggestions she received. Polly seriously considered both the "Secret Santa" and "Christmas card recycling box" initiatives proposed by Luna.
This statement is false. Polly writes that she will be placing recycling bins "throughout" the office, meaning that she will be putting recycling bins "all over" or "in several places" within the office. In this context, when she says "the office", she is referring to the whole space in which everyone works. This is different from "her office", which refers to the smaller space in which only Polly works.
This statement is false. Polly writes that "the presents will be handed out by "Santa" just before Bruno's "end of year" speech." As is the case with many CEO's, Bruno will be giving a speech at the Christmas party but he will not be giving out any presents as this is "Santa's" job. Santa refers to "Santa Claus" or "Father Christmas", that jolly, bearded, morbidly obese man who wets our whistle during the Christmas season.
This is a true statement. Polly writes that one or two of the staff's suggestions got her attention. She then goes on to list Luna's suggestions (for a Christmas party and gift exchange) as the only ones which interested her.
This is a true statement. Polly writes, "You will then be required to buy a Christmas gift for the person you selected". The term "required" signals that buying a present is mandatory or obligatory.

This is an incorrect choice. "I handed out for a taxi" doesn't make any sense. If we wanted to describe an attempt to signal for a taxi, we might say "I hailed a taxi". If we wanted to describe movement (towards a taxi) we might say, "I headed out to find a taxi".
This sentence uses the expression correctly. To "hand something out" means to distribute it. Teachers often hand things out to their pupils in classrooms. In her email, Polly writes, "The presents will be handed out by "Santa", meaning that 'Santa" will be giving out, or distributing presents to the Delavigne staff.
This is an incorrect choice. Do not confuse the phrase "to hand out" which means to distribute, with the phrase "to give a hand" (or lend a hand) which refers to helping someone. Example: Can you give me a hand with my maths homework please?
This is a correct choice. To "hand something out" means to distribute it. Polly writes in her email "The presents will be handed out by "Santa", meaning that 'Santa" will be giving out the presents to the Delavigne staff.
