This statement is false. Brent asks Candy whether Oklahoma is a good destination for 'the next Vanderplop family vacation' and she replies 'I wouldn't recommend it Brent'. Brent is not taking his family on holiday to Oklahoma, nor would doing so be a good idea.
This is a true statement. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'the average number of tornadoes per year in Oklahoma is about 52'. The term 'average' refers to the normal or typical amount of (thunderstorms) each year. Example: The average age of Europeans is 65.
This is a true statement. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'for the past two weeks, there have been constant thunderstorms' indicating that there has been bad weather for the past 2 weeks in Oklahoma. A 'thunderstorm' is an intense period of rain, wind, thunder and lightning which passes over land or sea.
This statement is false. Candy tells Brent and Moira that 'there's a tornado on its way', meaning that the tornado is 'coming', or 'will arrive soon'. Moreover, Candy reports that she 'can actually see the tornado now'. Candy is not reporting about a tornado that hit Oklahoma two weeks ago, but rather a tornado which will arrive any minute!
This statement is false. Although Candy does say 'Oh look there's a flying cow', it is because a cow has been picked up by a tornado and lifted into the air. At no point in the broadcast does Candy mention flying cows being indigenous to the state of Oklahoma.

This is a correct choice. The church is "on the way (to the library)" indicates that the church is on the same road or route as the library. This sentence could also express that the route to get to both the church and the library is similar. The expression "on the way" is used here to describe the location of the church in relation to the library. This phrase is often used when giving directions.
This is a correct choice. To (pick up milk) "on the way home" refers to buying milk whilst returning home. To do something "on the way (home)" describes an action performed during a trip from one place to another.
This is a correct choice. The expression "on the way" is used here in the same way as in the dialogue. It refers to the expected arrival of something. Specifically the weather report has predicted rain. In the dialogue, Donna says that Bethany has "a baby on the way", which means that she is "expecting a baby", "pregnant" or even that the baby will be here soon.
This is an incorrect choice. Do not confuse the expression "to be on the way" with the expression to be "in the way", which expresses that one thing is obstructing the path of another. A better way to phrase this would be "your car is in my way", or "your car is blocking mine".

This statement is true. Horatio informs Bruno that the woman in this scene (Lupita Santacruz) is his "wife"! A "wife" (plural "wives") is the woman within a married couple.
This statement is not true. There is no indication that Horatio and Bruno are on their way (or "en route") to the airport. In fact Bruno says that he wants to "reach" Horatio's village before nightfall.
This statement is not true. Bruno tells Horatio that he will find a car and enter the jungle with his dog, Stink. To be "alone" means to be by oneself, or without another person (or animal).

1 fare: This is correct. We use the term "fare" when describing the "cost" of public transport. Example: The fare for the bus, the fare for the cab, etc.
1 pay: This is not correct. As a noun, "pay" generally refers to salary or wages. For example: My pay this month was less than I expected. You can "pay" a fare, but not "pay" a "pay" in the context of public transport!
1 fee: Though a "fee" and a "fare" are synonymous in some contexts, the two terms are not interchangeable. A "fee" is often associated with penalties (a late fee for a library book) and other expenses (tuition fees, membership fees), however the term isn't used in the context of a transportation cost.
2 miss: This is correct. To "miss one's stop" (on a bus or train) is to not exit or get off the bus when you are supposed to. Usually "missing your stop" is due to inattention or even falling asleep, like Edward in this scene.
2 skip: To "skip (school, a party)" is to not attend it, or not go. Kids "skip" school to play with their friends or if they haven't done their homework. You might "skip a party" if you don't feel well or don't want to see your ex-boyfriend. This term can share a similar meaning to "skip", however not in this context. "Skipping a stop" would mean that the bus driver has not stopped at every stop!
2 blow: This is not correct. "To blow" literally means to exhale strongly, as you might do to extinguish a candle. Figuratively, "to blow (off) school" could mean to "skip school" or not attend it, or "to blow (an opportunity)" would mean to not take advantage of it. In any case, "blowing a stop" doesn't mean anything in English.
3 on the way: This is correct. The expression "on the way" means "en route" or "in the middle of a journey or trip". In this scene, Edward sings both "we were on our way", meaning the bus had begun to move, and "on the way downtown I fell asleep", meaning that while he was travelling downtown, he fell asleep.
3 in the way: This is incorrect. To be "in the way (of a car)" is to obstruct or block the path of the car. Example: Can you move please? You're in the way of the TV. This expression is different than the one used in this scene: on the way.
3 at the way: This is incorrect. There is no such expression in English.
