This is not a true statement. Kevin is speaking about labor practices, not leaders.
Kevin is still looking for such a party factory, as are we all.
Although it is true that Kevin has found a factory which will produce things for Delavigne Corp, this is not at all what the statement indicates. Kevin is speaking about labor practices, not production.

Esercizio 3
Luna writes that Polly so that .
Luna writes that Polly marked the date of the meeting 1 so that Jean can be introduced to Bruno 2.
1 marked the date of the meeting: This is the best choice here. Luna writes that she has scheduled a meeting for Bruno and Jean to meet, and that Polly "noted it down for Tuesday". This means that Polly wrote down the meeting time in Bruno's schedule.
1 checked her calendar: Although Polly "noted down" the day of the meeting, this does not mean she checked her calendar. Also, this choice is not the cause for the meeting of Bruno and Jean.
1 is available Tuesday: There is no indication in the text of when Polly is available. Polly simply notes the time of the meeting for Bruno.
1 took some notes: To "note down" and to "take notes" are not necessarily synonymous. To say that Polly "noted down" the meeting time means that she "made a note of it" or "wrote it into an agenda". To "take notes" refers to the act of writing down key points: during a lecture or meeting, for example.
2 Jean can be introduced to Bruno: This is the best choice here. Luna writes that she has scheduled a meeting "for the two of you to meet". This means she has scheduled the meeting so that Bruno can be introduced to Jean.
2 Bruno can interview Jean for a job: This is incorrect. Luna has already interviewed and hired Jean. Luna would like Bruno to meet Jean because they do not yet know each other.
2 Luna and Jean can start working: This is incorrect. The meeting is for Bruno and Jean, not Luna and Jean. Luna already has a job at Delavigne, and would not attend a meeting to "begin working".
2 Bruno and Luna can discuss business: This is incorrect. The meeting is scheduled for Bruno to meet Jean, not for Bruno and Luna to "discuss business".

"Here's some information I've gathered from various news sources"
A synonym for "to gather" is to collect 1.
"Some members of the Delavigne staff plan to leave early on Friday so that they can attend the march":
A synonym for "to attend" is to participate in 2.
"Here's some information I've gathered from various news sources"
A synonym for "to gather" is to collect 1.
"Some members of the Delavigne staff plan to leave early on Friday so that they can attend the march":
A synonym for "to attend" is to participate in 2.
1 to collect: This is the right choice. To gather means to collect or to assemble. For example, "I've collected all the figures and entered them into the database". We also "gather flowers, mushrooms, etc.".
1 to read: This is incorrect. An example of the use of to "read" is "I read all of Shakespeare's plays in two days." It does not mean the same as to "gather". The verb "to read" is irregular: read/read/read.
1 to hunt: This is not the correct choice. To "hunt" means to "seek" or to "search for". It is usually used in the context of killing animals for sport or food. Example: "It's forbidden to hunt foxes and other wild animals on both public and private land in Britain, but some idiots still do it".
1 to hear: This is not correct. "Hearing" and "gathering" are different actions: one refers to the collection of something, while the other refers to the (audible) perception of it.
2 to participate in: This is the correct response. To "attend" is synonymous with to "participate in", to "take part in", to "be present at" or to "go to". (Don't forget the all important prepositions with these terms!) Example: "I won't be attending the staff barbecue. I've decided to become a vegetarian."
2 to wait for: This is not the right answer. To "wait" is not a synonym of to "attend". To "wait" for someone (or something) means to expect it at a certain place and time and to stay there until it, he, or she arrives. For example: "I've been waiting for you for over half an hour. Where have you been? I thought you were dead!"
2 to meet at: This is incorrect. To "meet at" does not mean the same as to "attend". Let's look at an example of a sentence with to meet at: "I'm going on a blind date tonight. We're meeting at a restaurant. He said he will be holding a pink rose so I'll recognize him!"
2 to launch: This is not the right choice. To launch is not synonymous with to attend. To launch means to establish, to release or to set up. For example: We're going to launch the new website tomorrow'.
