Esercizio 1
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."

This sentence could be rewritten:
", Bob has been with you for 5 years and the IT department."
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
"As you probably know 1, Bob has been with you for 5 years and supervises 2 the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
"As you probably know 1, Bob has been with you for 5 years and supervises 2 the IT department."
1 As you probably know: This is correct. To be "aware" means to "have knowledge" or "be informed". For example: I am aware that eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day is good for my health. "As I'm sure you are aware" is a common phrase that means "as you probably know" or "as you have probably been informed". Fred Fuchar uses this phrase because he assumes, as Bruno is a good boss, that he probably knows that Bob performs an important role in the Delavigne IT department.
1 As you'll be surprised to learn: This is incorrect. The phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne are unknown to Bruno. It is probably not a good idea to presume that a CEO doesn't know about his company! Moreover, the phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" has the opposite meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware".
1 As you've probably forgotten: This is incorrect. The terms "forgotten" and "aware" are unrelated. If something is forgotten, it is no longer remembered.
1 As I was pleased to discover: This is incorrect. The phrase "as I was pleased to discover" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne were unknown to Fred Fuchar. This would not only be unprofessional, but has a different meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware"!
2 supervises: This is correct. In this context, to "oversee" means to "direct", "supervise" or "watch over". For example: As factory manager, Mr Smith oversees production at the factory. According to the information in Fred Fuchar's email, we can assume that Bob Carter is more or less in charge of the Delavigne IT department.
2 supports: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "support" are not synonyms. In a business context, "to support" means to assist or to aid. For example: When the Delavigne finance department is busy, Brian Jones sometimes provides administrative support.
2 collaborates with: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "collaborate" are not synonyms. "To collaborate" means to work together. For example: James and his brother collaborated on a book about giraffes. "To collaborate" does not contain the idea of leading or directing.
2 evaluates: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "evaluate" are not synonyms. "To evaluate" means to examine and judge carefully. For example: Luna is currently evaluating candidates' CVs for an accounting vacancy at Delavigne.

1 supervise: "To oversee" is to watch something closely to make sure that an activity is done correctly. Example: As head architect, I oversaw the construction of the skyscraper from start to finish. "To oversee" is a close synonym of "to supervise".
1 inspect: "To inspect (something)" is an official visit to check or verify standards. Example: My job is to inspect schools to make sure the teachers give the students enough homework. "To inspect" implies a one time activity performed by an external organization, whereas "to oversee" is a continuous process performed by a manager or supervisor.
1 perform: "To perform" is "to do a job" or "carry out (a task)". "To oversee" is not a synonym of "to perform".
2 fabrication: "To manufacture" is "to make" or "fabricate" goods in large quantities, usually using machinery. Example: This factory manufactures cars... and dreams!
2 repairs: "To repair" is "to fix" or "mend" something so that it functions correctly after being broken. "To repair" is not a synonym of "to manufacture".
2 billing: "To bill (someone)" is to charge someone money for services rendered. Example: My lawyer BILLED me 500 dollars for an hour of his time OR That woman billed me $500 for a massage.
3 factories: A "plant" is a "factory" or a place where an industrial process takes place. Example: a chemical plant, a manufacturing plant, a car plant.
3 warehouses: A "warehouse" is a place where products are stored, usually before they are sent to shops to be sold. Unlike "plants" or "factories", products are not fabricated in warehouses.
3 greenhouses: A greenhouse is a building made from glass where plants and flowers grow! A "greenhouse" and a "(manufacturing) plant" are sadly two very different things!

1 warehouse: "Warehouse" is the right answer. A "warehouse" is a storage facility, usually in the form of a large hangar. Warehouses are used to store all kinds of things: merchandise, textiles, cars, drugs, guns just to name a few. In the dialogue, we are told that Horatio's supplies are in a warehouse. Example: "I like to keep the warehouse clean and tidy".
2 overseas: "Overseas" is the best choice here. If something happens "overseas", it happens in a "foreign country" or "abroad". In the dialogue, Horatio has ordered lots of products from "overseas". Example: "Lucy spent eight years living overseas and now she has a strange accent".
3 supplies: "Supplies" is the right answer here. "Supplies" are the "items", "articles", or "products" needed to perform a certain action. The dialogue discusses Horatio's supplies; the ingredients he needs to make his beautiful perfumes. Example: "I love stealing office supplies from work: paperclips are my favourite". Note that there is a related verb: "to supply (somebody with a product)".
