Traduzione e definizione
the line is busy: la linea è occupata
I couldn't get through to you because your line was busy all day. Every time I called, it seemed you were speaking to someone else. Non riuscivo a contattarti perché la tua linea era occupata tutto il giorno. Ogni volta che chiamavo, sembrava che stessi parlando con qualcun altro.
Esempi
- "I tried to call your office, but the line's been busy all day."

2 bad: This is the correct answer. A "bad line" is a phone call of poor quality, when you cannot hear someone properly at the other end of the line. In this context, "bad" shares a similar meaning with defective, "not working properly" or poor quality. Example: The TV has a really bad reception.
2 busy: This is incorrect. "Busy" shares a similar meaning with "engaged" or "occupied".
2 wrong: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "wrong" with "bad". "Wrong" means "incorrect" or "not wanted" but not "of poor quality".
