1 mistake: "Mistake" is the correct answer. A "mistake" is an "error", or something which you did and now regret. Example: "I only made two mistakes in my English lesson this morning. I'm so happy!".
2 frozen: "Frozen" is the right answer here. A "frozen" omelette is one which has been stored at a very cold temperature (in a "freezer") in order to preserve it for longer. That sounds disgusting doesn't it?! Some frozen products, like peas and soya ice cream are nice! "Frozen" comes from the irregular verb "to freeze": freeze/froze/frozen.
3 catering: "Catering" is the right answer here. The "catering industry" is the sector which prepares, delivers, and/or serves food to customers, usually on a large scale. People who work in this area are called "caterers". Example: "Our current catering company is awful: we really need new caterers".
4 hungry: "Hungry" is the correct answer here. Someone is "hungry" when they suffer from "hunger": a lack of food. Example: "Since I fell pregnant, I've been hungry all the time".

At the start of the dialogue, Hannah tells Eva that she is feeling:
There may be more than one correct choice!
There may be more than one correct choice!
At the start of the dialogue, Hannah tells Eva that she is feeling:
There may be more than one correct choice!
There may be more than one correct choice!
This is not a good description of Hannah's feelings. To feel "hungry" is to "want food" or to "need to eat".
This is not a correct choice. To feel "thirsty" is to feel that you need a drink. There is no indication that this is how Hannah is feeling in the dialogue.
It's right to say that Hannah is feeling "sad" at the start of this dialogue. She says "I'm feeling a bit down". To feel "down" is to feel "sad" or "depressed". Example: "I've been feeling really down since my husband left me for my mother".
"Homesick" is a good way to describe how Hannah feels at the start of the dialogue. Hannah tells Eva "I miss England", and asks "Do you have any music that would remind me of home?". To feel "homesick" is to miss one's country or home. Example: "-Did you enjoy your holiday? -No. The foreign food was disgusting and I felt homesick all the time".
Esercizio 4
Moira and Brent mention a little boy at Balcomfrie Castle. How did the little boy die?
Moira and Brent mention a little boy at Balcomfrie Castle. How did the little boy die?
This is the correct answer. Moira tells us that the "little boy starved to death in the dungeon". To "starve" is to be deprived of food and nourishment. If you "starve to death" then you die of "hunger". Note that the verb "to starve" is often used idiomatically to exaggerate great hunger: "I'm starving! Let's get a taco."
This is incorrect. Moira tells us that the boy in the castle he "starved to death". To "stab (someone)" is to thrust or push a knife (or other sharp object) into their body with great force, causing an injury or wound.
This is incorrect. Death isn't a consequence of not listening to Radio Rhubarb...although I wouldn't want to test this theory!
This is incorrect. The boy in the castle "starved to death", he wasn't "scared to death".
This is incorrect. Moira says that it is possible to see the ghost of a little boy who died at the castle. The ghost (or phantom) she is referring to was the little boy himself. A "ghost" is the spirit of a person who has died. Some people believe that ghosts or spirits remain in the place where the person died.

1 of the right size: This is the best choice here. In this context, shoes "which fit" are shoes which are the "right size". Example: "I love my new dress but I need to lose weight before it will fit me". This usage is different from that heard in the conversation.
1 made of leather: This is incorrect. "Leather" is a material made from animal skin, which is often used to make shoes, coats, bags, belts and sofas. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "to fit".
1 which match: This is incorrect. "(Shoes) which match" are shoes which share the same colour or design, or complement each other. Example: "I refuse to waste my time looking for matching socks in the morning. Today one of my socks is blue, and the other is yellow".
1 designed for sport: This is incorrect. In another context, the adjective "fit" can be used to describe a person who is in good physical form, but it is unrelated to the context of this question. Sports shoes or "trainers" are worn by those who practise sport.
2 capable of raising: This is the best choice here. In this context, the term "fit" is used to mean "capable", "competent" or "able". This is the same usage as in the conversation, when Bruno quotes Sigourney's article: "Bruno Delavigne is hardly fit to run a company".
2 sentenced to raise: This is incorrect. In legal terms, the verb "to sentence" means to "decide" or "determine" a punishment for a guilty party. This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 willing to raise: This is incorrect. The expression "to be willing (to do something)" shares a similar meaning with "consenting", "agreeing", or being "prepared" to do something. Example: "I'm willing to share my sweets with you, if you'll agree to give me some of your orange juice". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 scared of raising: This is incorrect. The term "scared" shares a similar meaning with "frightened" or "afraid". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
3 healthy: This is the best choice here. As an adjective, "fit" means "in good physical shape" or "healthy". Example: "I've decided to eat better and get fit!". This is a different usage from that in the conversation.
3 some fresh air: This is incorrect. We say that we need "some fresh air" when we are feeling too hot, tired, or if there is a bad smell. To "get some fresh air" is a form of refreshment: it is revitalising. This may be true of jogging, but the term "fresh air" is unrelated to the term "fit".
3 thinner: This is incorrect. The term "thinner" is the comparative form of "thin". It means "less fat" or "more skinny" or "more slender". This is not the same meaning as the term "fit". Although "getting fit" may involve losing weight or becoming "thinner", this is not an accurate definition of the term "fit".
3 hungry: This is incorrect. To "get hungry" is to "feel the desire to eat". Example: "I get very hungry if I don't eat for two hours". This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "fit".
