"Not to mention, it's the morally correct thing to do!"
Which of the following expressions could replace not to mention and express the same meaning?
Which of the following expressions could replace not to mention and express the same meaning?
The expression "not to mention" adds further information to a previous idea. "Not to mention" has nothing to do with expressing the idea that would not otherwise be said.
The expression "not to mention" adds further information to a previous idea. "Not to mention" has nothing to do with "causing misfortune" or "bad luck".
The expression "not to mention" adds further information to a previous idea. "Not to mention" has nothing to do with keeping an idea secret.

Esercizio 2
Which of the following words might replace the term "furthermore" in Bruno's email and express the same meaning?
Which of the following words might replace the term "furthermore" in Bruno's email and express the same meaning?
"Subsequently" means "as a result of" or "afterwards". It doesn't share a similar meaning with Bruno's term "furthermore" from the text. "Subsequently" is a word often used to introduce a conclusion, and never to express the sense of "additionally" or "in addition to".
"Periodically" has nothing in common with "furthermore", the term used by Bruno in the text.
"Furthermore" and "moreover" share very similar meanings. Both terms express that the writer or speaker wants to make an additional point, or add something to what has already been discussed or written about.
The term "henceforth" means "from now on", or "starting from now". It does not share a similar meaning with the term Bruno uses ("furthermore").

1 Granted: "Granted" means "it is acknowledged that". It is used to introduce an initial idea that is quickly cancelled by a contrasting idea (often introduced by "however" or "but"). Example: GRANTED, Spain is beautiful, BUT its warm climate would make it impossible to live there (=I acknowledge that Spain is beautiful, however the hot weather means I could never live there). Note: in a different context, "to grant (a request)" is to allow it or to consent it. Example: My boss granted me 3 weeks' holiday!
1 But: "But" is usually used mid-sentence (after a comma, and NOT before a comma as in the text). The term "but" would be more natural if we re-wrote the sentence: "Edward the intern has become a valued member of the Delavigne Corporation, BUT he still needs to improve his social skills."
1 Moreover: "Moreover" doesn't work here: we are not providing important additional information; this sentence is (starting by) providing information that contrasts with the positive opening sentence.
2 but: "But" is used to introduce a statement or idea which contrasts with the previous one, for example "I love books, BUT I hated yours". In the exercise, "but" is used to introduce a positive statement about Edward ("his ability with a photocopier has impressed everyone") that contrasts with the negative statement that starts the sentence ("he still needs to improve his social skills").
2 granted: This is incorrect. This sentence could only work if the sentence was re-written: Edward needs to improve his social skills, but granted, his ability with a photocopier has impressed everyone.
2 moreover: "Moreover" doesn't work here: we are not providing important additional information; this clause is providing contrasting information that opposes the negative opening clause of the sentence.
3 Moreover: This is correct. "Moreover" means "in addition" or "furthermore". It is used when adding an important point that needs to be considered. Example: Fred is a good worker. MOREOVER, he's very popular with the customers'. In the question, the "moreover" is suggesting that Edward's tea making is as important as (if not more important than) his photocopying skills!
3 But: This is incorrect. The end of the last sentence is positive; the beginning of this sentence is positive too. There is no contrasting or opposing information, therefore, "but" does not make sense here.
3 Granted: "Granted" would only work here if everything before was negative and the author wanted to acknowledge something positive to finish with. Example: Edward the intern needs to improve his social skills, and, moreover, his ability to use a photocopier. Granted, he regularly makes everyone tea, but this is his only good point!

Skin Care
The line of Delavigne products which have seen the largest is skin care. We can attribute this trend to the Japanese market. The world's oldest population is also one of the wealthiest, and they're ready to money on looking younger. making up only 2% of the world's population, the Japanese account for one fifth of skin care sales. Moreover, sales of Delavigne skin care products in Japan are 14.6% in the past six months.
for the second half of the year
I can predict with confidence that the Delavigne Corporation's strong performance will continue until the end of the year. The company's finances are extremely healthy (as you can see in the eight-page addendum). Retail sales typically increase 50-70% in the three months leading up to December 31st. Even in markets which appear saturated such as Europe and North America, shoppers increase their of Delavigne products towards the holiday season.
Our very healthy profits in the first half of this year will not only result in generous dividends for our shareholders, but will in large part be re-invested into even better results. For example, I am proposing a of $1m to the Marketing Department to a Europe-wide campaign aimed at increasing sales of our mid-range collections. Additionally, the Research & Development Department will be embarking on a three-month trek into the Indonesian jungle to hunt for new ingredients. , we will also be opening several new stores in China, to get the most out of this exciting market. The future's bright.

Skin Care
The line of Delavigne products which have seen the largest growth 1 is skin care. We can attribute this trend to the Japanese market. The world's oldest population is also one of the wealthiest, and they're ready to spend 2 money on looking younger. Despite 3 making up only 2% of the world's population, the Japanese account for one fifth of skin care sales. Moreover, sales of Delavigne skin care products in Japan are up 4 14.6% in the past six months.
Outlook 5 for the second half of the year
I can predict with confidence that the Delavigne Corporation's strong performance will continue until the end of the year. The company's finances are extremely healthy (as you can see in the eight-page balance sheet 6 addendum). Retail sales typically increase 50-70% in the three months leading up to December 31st. Even in markets which appear saturated such as Europe and North America, shoppers increase their purchases 7 of Delavigne products towards the holiday season.
Our very healthy profits in the first half of this year will not only result in generous dividends for our shareholders, but will in large part be re-invested into generating 8 even better results. For example, I am proposing a grant 9 of $1m to the Marketing Department to fund 10 a Europe-wide campaign aimed at increasing sales of our mid-range collections. Additionally, the Research & Development Department will be embarking on a three-month trek into the Indonesian jungle to hunt for new ingredients. Finally 11, we will also be opening several new stores in China, to get the most out of this exciting market. The future's bright.

1 growth: "Growth" is the best choice here. "Growth" is the noun related to the verb "to grow". Example: "Cats" growth depends mostly on their genes: large cats have large kittens'. You might also like to know that the verb "to grow" is irregular: grow/grew/grown.
1 grow: This is a verb, and we need a noun for this sentence to make sense.
1 grew: This is a verb, and we need a noun for this sentence to make sense.
2 spend: "Spend" is the right answer. To "spend money on something" is to buy something. For example, "When I was younger, I spent all my money on partying".
2 prepare: To "prepare" means to "get ready", which does not make sense here.
2 save: To "save money" is to spend less money, which does not make sense here because the sentence is about consumers buying MORE products, not fewer products.
3 Despite: "Despite" is the correct answer here. We use "despite" to begin sentences when we want to introduce a contrast, or a surprising situation. Here's another example: "Despite being only 8 years old, Rupert is very fashionable".
3 However: "However" is generally used in the middle of a sentence: "I like chips, however I prefer chocolate". It does not make grammatical sense here.
3 Moreover: "Moreover" does not make sense at this point in the report. "Moreover" is used to introduce an extra item, which is even more important than the once you just spoke about: "Philip noticed a woman at the bar. Moreover, she was smiling at him".
4 up: This is the correct choice. The expression "(sales) are up" means that sales have increased or got bigger. Other example: The number of fatal road accidents are up 25% this year.
4 across: It doesn't make sense to use this term here.
4 high: It doesn't make sense to use this term here.
5 Outlook: "Outlook" is the best choice here. A company's "outlook" describes its prospects for the future. Example: "The outlook is good: sales seem to be increasing steadily, so we can expect healthy profits in the coming months".
5 Perspective: A "perspective" is either a "point of view" or a "context". It does not make sense here.
5 Future: Sorry, but "future for the second half of the year" doesn't make sense!
6 balance sheet: This is the best option here. A company's "balance sheet" is a statement showing the financial position of a business on a specified date. This will list the business's assets (e.g. cash and stock) and liabilities (e.g. debts such as bank loans). The "bottom line" shows the net income which was kept (or lost) over the period. Example: "Our company's balance sheet shows how our business is being funded and how we are using these funds".
6 balance: Used alone, a "balance" is a device for weighing something, or the amount of money one has in a bank account. Neither of these meanings makes sense here.
6 consolidation: In a business context, a "consolidation" is "the merger of two or more corporations", which does not make sense here.
7 purchases: This is the best option here. A "purchase" refers to an "acquisition" or something bought.
7 buys: Although as nouns "buy" and (the correct answer) "purchase" are mostly synonymous, we do not generally use the term in the following way: a buy of a product.
7 expending: This is incorrect. The term "expending" is the present participle of the verb "to expend": 'to spend or consume. We are looking for a noun here.
8 generating: "Generating" is the right choice. To "generate" something is to "create" or "develop" it. Let's look at another example: "I've found a great way of generating some extra income: selling my soul to the devil!".
8 hoping: "Hoping" for something is wanting it to happen, without taking any positive action to make it happen, which does not make sense in this sentence, as Icarus is talking about "re-investing" money to get even better results.
8 expecting: "Expecting" something to happen is assuming that it will happen, without taking any positive action to make it happen, which does not make sense in this sentence, as Icarus is talking about "re-investing" money to get even better results.
9 grant: This is the best choice here. Icarus refers to $1 million dollars which will "fund" a marketing campaign. In this context, a "grant" is the most suitable term to use. A "grant" refers to an allocation of money, or a "subsidy". Example: The government has given my small company a grant of $50,000 to help me expand my business.
9 fine: This is incorrect. A "fine" refers to a financial penalty. Example: My bank has given me a $10 dollar fine for not paying $1000 dollars into my account this month. Given the context, the use of the term "fine" is incorrect given that Icarus refers to money that he has given (not charged) the Marketing department.
9 fare: This is incorrect. A "fare" refers to the price we pay for something, usually a travel ticket, for example: The bus fare for this journey is $2 dollars.
10 fund: this is the best choice here. To "fund (something)" is to finance it. Given the context, it makes sense to use this term since Icarus has promised $1 million to the Marketing department.
10 found: This is incorrect. The term "to found" means to establish or create. For example: Bruno Delavigne founded the Delavigne Corporation many years ago.
10 funds: This is incorrect. "Funds" refers to a general amount of money available for a specific purpose. For example: We don't have the funds to buy you a horse, darling. The use of the noun form "funds" is incorrect here.
11 Finally: This is the right answer. We often use "finally" in business reports or speeches to introduce our last point: "Finally, I'd like to thank you all for coming to hear me speak today".
11 Last: Sorry, but this is not a natural way to introduce a final point. "Lastly" may be considered as acceptable.
11 Eventually: Sorry, but this is not a natural way to introduce a final point. "Eventually" suggests that something happened over a long period of time, which does not make sense here.
