And, the day I went to her office, I accidentally got the wrong bus. And, the next thing I knew, I was North Korea.' 'Is that ?' 'Well, yes.'

1 about: We can talk about something, but we talk to someone. 'About' is the best choice here. Example: I want to talk to you about my mother.
2 to: Kevin is telling Philip about his trip to China. 'To' is the best choice because a 'trip' carries the idea of movement. When we speak about movement, we always talk about someone or something going from one place to another. In this case 'to' indicates the destination of Kevin's trip.
3 on: 'On' is the best choice here. "Hold on" is a common expression which means 'please wait' or 'wait a minute'. It is often used when speaking on the phone. Example: Please hold on while I grab a pencil.
4 first: 'First' is the correct choice. Philip says 'let me finish my lunch first', meaning that he wants to finish his lunch 'before' Kevin tells him the story of his trip to Asia.
5 before: 'Before' is the correct answer. It tells us that time has passed before Philip enters Kevin's office. Example: We were talking about you before you arrived.
6 finally: 'Finally' means 'at last' or 'lastly'. It is the best choice here. Example: I've finally finished reading War and Peace.
7 as: 'As you may know' is an expression which introduces a fact or statement which is presumably known by one person or a group of people. Example: As you will know, your mother and I have decided to adopt a guinea pig.
8 to: Kevin is telling Philip that he went 'to' China. 'To' is the best choice because the verb 'to go' carries the idea of movement, and the preposition 'to' indicates the object or destination of this movement. Example: I'm going to London next week.
9 with: 'With' groups together objects, people and ideas. It is the best choice here to tell us 'whom' Kevin met (Mei-Tsing Lee). Example: I had a date with a guy I met online.
10 on: "On the day" is the correct choice. We use this type of expression to give specific information about a date. Example: On August first, on Monday morning, etc.
11 on: 'To get on the bus' is to board a bus. When using prepositions with modes of transportation, we often run into problems. Usually, when we are speaking about public transportation (bus, metro, airplane, etc.) we use the preposition on. But if we are talking about a car, we use in (get in the car).
12 in: Kevin tells Philip that he was in North Korea, which means that he was inside the country or within the country's borders. Example: I was in Puerto Rico when the hurricane hit.
13 all: 'Is that all?' is a question which asks if someone is finished (speaking, shopping, etc.). Example: Is that all the cake you have left?

1 Meeting : This is correct. Brian says "I'm in a meeting all morning... that won't finish before 12.30." Note that Brian pronounces the time, "twelve thirty". He could also have said "twelve thirty p.m." or "twelve thirty in the afternoon". Note: "a.m." is used for times before midday (10am = 10:00); "p.m." is used for times before midnight (10pm = 22:00).
1 Respond to emails: This is not the best choice here. Brian does not mention "emails" in his message.
1 Finish report: This is not the best choice here. Brian does not mention a "report" in his message.
1 Presentation: This is not the best choice here. Brian says "I'm giving a presentation to a group of Asian businessmen at 2pm". Brian will be giving a presentation in the afternoon, not in the "morning" between 9.00 and 12.30.
2 4.15pm: This is correct. Brian says "I'm seeing an animal doctor at 4.15". In English, "vet" is a common abbreviation of veterinarian, a doctor who treats animals. Note that Brian pronounces the time, "four fifteen". He could also have said "four fifteen p.m." or "four fifteen in the afternoon". Note: "a.m." is used for times before midday (6am = 06:00); "p.m." is used for times before midnight (6pm = 18:00).
2 3.15pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "three fifteen".
2 4.50pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "four fifty".
2 3.50pm: This is incorrect. Brian says "four fifteen", not "three fifty".
3 Elkie Johns Concert: This is the right choice. Brian says "Ah, in the evening? Oh no, I've got tickets to see Elkie Johns in concert - I'm not gonna miss that!". The "evening" is the part of the day between the afternoon and the night. "8pm" is the only appointment that Brian has in the evening.
3 Meet with Charlie Braithwaite: This is incorrect. Brian doesn't manage to find a time to meet Charlie.
3 Sprain groin: This is incorrect. Brian has an appointment with a vet because his horse has "sprained his groin" but does not have an appointment to sprain his own groin (to injure the delicate region at the top of his thighs!). I suppose some masochists might make an appointment to injure themselves, but there is no evidence from the dialogue that Brian belongs to this disturbed minority of people.
3 Play polo: This is incorrect. Brian says, "My horse has sprained his groin playing polo again!". This is a reference to a past event. Brian doesn't say that he will be playing polo at 8pm on Monday evening. "To sprain one's groin" means to injure the muscles at the top of the thighs.
