Polly writes that Delavigne's Director of personnel has tendered her resignation. Judging from the context of this email, what does this idiom express?
Polly writes that Delavigne's Director of personnel has tendered her resignation. Judging from the context of this email, what does this idiom express?
A "medical leave" is not the same thing as to "tender a resignation".
The idiom "to tender one's resignation" does not express that someone has been fired.
Although "tender" can mean soft, smooth or supple, it seems clear that this is not the reason that Delavigne's Director of Personnel has left the company.
This is correct. The idiom "to tender one's resignation" is very common in business environments. It expresses that someone is leaving the company by completing the proper forms. Note that someone who resigns usually does so of their own volition or free will, they have not been fired.

Icarus has already "drawn up the paperwork".

Icarus has already "drawn up the paperwork".
This means he has already prepared the paperwork.
This means he has already prepared the paperwork.
prepared: The phrasal verb to "draw up (a paper or a contract) means to "prepare" and 'put together" paperwork. Drawing up a contract may include defining its terms as well as finalizing the language. It is a preliminary step. Example: Before we can hire you, we must draw up a contract.
submitted: To "submit paperwork" is to officially "file" or "send" it. Icarus has not done this, he has simply prepared the documents to submit them in the future.
signed : To "draw up" a contract is to prepare the paperwork, but not to sign it. Signing a contract is generally the final step in negotiations.
applied for: To "apply for" something means to submit a demand or request for something. Example: I applied for admission into MIT University, but I never received a reply. To "apply for (a job)" does not share a similar meaning with to "draw up (a contract)".

This statement is false. The meter man tells Kevin that his car will be taken to the impound lot, however there is now indication that Kevin will go to prison, or "jail".
This statement is false. Kevin's car is being towed, he is not being arrested. To be arrested is to be stopped by the police and taken to jail or a police station for a criminal offense. Kevin is not being arrested, his car is being removed for parking illegally.
This is a true statement. The meter man asks Kevin for his license and registration, the proof that he is legally permitted to drive and that he is the owner of the car. A driver's license is proof of the legal right to drive, and registration is the proof of ownership of a vehicle.
This is a true statement. The "meter man" in this dialogue tells Kevin that his car is being "towed". "To tow a car" is to physically remove it (using a truck usually). A car generally is towed because it isn't working properly, or if it has been parked illegally, as is the case with Kevin's car. If something is "taken away", it is being "removed".

Miss Stake never asks for anything in writing. It is Susie who offers to provide further information in writing by saying "If you have any more questions, I would be happy to answer them in writing".
There is nothing to indicate that Susie must "catch a flight". Susie does speak about being able to get most of her work done on the airplane when she travels, however this does not indicate that she must end the interview to catch a flight.
Susie says that most of the administrative work she must do "can be done on the airplane", which means that she is able to do most of her paperwork on the plane. The terms "administrative work" and "paperwork" are synonymous in this context.
Susie explains to Miss Stake that her job requires that she understand certain things about marketing. First, she must understand "the marketing restrictions and consumer rights policies in different countries". Susie also speaks of "the complexities of different consumer markets". These two statements both indicate that "marketing strategies vary from country to country". The verb "to vary" means to change or "differ".
