This is not one of Icarus's complaints about the software. He actually says that Quickmate's spreadsheet capabilities are "primitive" or "basic", and that the payroll program still measures French currency in Francs. Icarus is not insulting French engineers.
This is one of Quickmate's flaws according to Icarus. He says that "none of Quickmate's seven different functions are centralized or user-friendly". If a program is "user-friendly" it means that it is easy to use, or that it has a simple interface, for example.
This is not one of Icarus's complaints about the software. Icarus actually says "I don't think it's ever been upgraded", which indicates that Icarus believes the software has never been upgraded.
This is one of Quickmate's flaws according to Icarus. He says that Quickmate is "not compatible" with Microtosh Word Processing programs.

Susan writes that "a one size fits all approach is outdated and unsuccessful."
This means that "An advertising campaign which is is and ".
This means that "An advertising campaign which is is and ".
Susan writes that "a one size fits all approach is outdated and unsuccessful."
This means that "An advertising campaign which is the same for everyone 1 is old-fashioned 2 and likely to fail 3".
This means that "An advertising campaign which is the same for everyone 1 is old-fashioned 2 and likely to fail 3".
1 the same for everyone: This is the best choice here. The term "one size fits all" originally comes from the clothing industry. It is found on items of clothing (for example: dresses, t-shirts) which are only available in one size: they are the same for everyone, however big or small the person is. In her press release, Susie uses this expression figuratively. Another example: "I don't believe that a one size fits all system will be effective for our children's education".
1 too comprehensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "comprehensive", it is "complete" or "detailed". This does not share the same meaning as "one size fits all".
1 very expensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "very expensive", it costs a lot of money, or is "very dear". This does not share the same meaning as "one size fits all".
1 based on female sexuality: This is not the right answer. Although the Delavigne poster campaign does feature sexy model Ivana Bümbüm in a provocative pose, the expression "one size fits all" is unrelated to female sexuality.
2 old-fashioned: "Old-fashioned" shares a similar meaning with "outdated". Both terms refer to something which is "old" or "not modern", and are negative adjectives. Another example: "Your clothes are very outdated. You'll never get a new job when you look so old-fashioned".
2 costly: This is not the right answer. A "costly (item)" is an expensive or dear one: it costs a lot of money. This is unrelated to the meaning of "outdated".
2 too provocative: This is not the right answer. Something which is "too provocative" is "risqué" or even "outrageous", and excessively sexual in nature. Although the Delavigne poster campaign does feature sexy model Ivana Bümbüm in a provocative pose, this is unrelated to the term "outdated".
2 likely to succeed: This is not the right answer. If something is "likely to succeed", it will probably be successful or "do well". This is unrelated to the meaning of "outdated".
3 likely to fail: This is the best choice here. Something "unsuccessful" does not succeed: it "fails" or "doesn't work". Example: "My attempt to climb Everest was unsuccessful. What's more, my toes are very cold".
3 pathetic: This is not the right answer. Something "pathetic" is "pitiful" or it "makes us feel sorry for someone". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".
3 cheap: This is not the right answer. Something "cheap" is "inexpensive" or "doesn't cost much money". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".
3 offensive: This is not the right answer. If something is "offensive", it is "shocking" or "upsetting". This does not share a similar meaning with "unsuccessful".

Fill in the blanks below with terms from Susie's email.
This term means "obsolete", "no longer in fashion" or "no longer current". "The computer model is : we now have machines that are twice as small and ten times more powerful."
This term means to discuss something, specifically to give attention to a particular point of concern. "At today's meeting, we will Bob's concerns about his salary."

1 outdated: If something is "outdated" it is out of date, obsolete or antiquated. This term is a term often used to talk about technology, however in this email Susie uses it to describe Kevin's surplus bottles of Bordello Breeze, which are fragrances from last year.
2 address: "To address (an issue, a concern)", is "to talk over" or "to discuss" a specific point of concern. In US English, the verb "address" is pronounced with a stress on the 2nd syllable, but the noun "address" (the location of a person, company, etc.) is pronounced with a stress on the 1st syllable. In UK English, both forms of "address" are pronounced with a stress on the 2nd syllable.

This is a true statement. Bruno says that he is "bored" of the logo. He also mentions that there is the "weak allusion" to his grandfather in the Delavigne logo. The means that the reference to his grandfather (his initials in the logo) isn't very strong.
This is a true statement. Bruno tells Susie, "I want you to brief some graphic designers." As a verb, "to brief" means "to inform" or "to give essential information". In business terms, a "brief" refers to a document issued by a client to an agency which lists the background, aims and objectives of a potential project.
This statement is false. When Susie tells Bruno that "Edward wants to know which artist designed the Delavigne logo", Bruno replies that it was he who designed it. Susie says that "the initials "XD" (in the logo) stand for Xavier Delavigne", not that Xavier designed it.
This is a true statement. Edward says that the logo "design is outdated and uncool". "Outdated" is synonymous with old-fashioned or obsolete. Example: We used outdated equipment when recording our album, none of the equipment was made after 1963.
