Esercizio 1
In the phrase, "Delavigne is proud to support local environmental initiatives", what is a synonym of the word "proud"?
In the phrase, "Delavigne is proud to support local environmental initiatives", what is a synonym of the word "proud"?
"Proud" means "to be honored or pleased" to do something.
Delavigne is not required to support local environmental, the company does it voluntarily.
"Arrogant" is a synonym of "proud" only when it is used in a negative or pejorative sense.
"Prepared" does makes sense in this context. However it is not a synonym of "proud" so nul points! "Prepared" means to be ready to do something. Example: "I am prepared to listen to you, but only if you put the gun down."
Esercizio 2
of Kevin's comic books were stolen last week. He promised himself he wouldn't shed tears (he would not cry). But when Philip came to comfort him, of Kevin's pride had left him, and he cried like a child.
All 1 of Kevin's comic books were stolen last week. He promised himself he wouldn't shed any 2 tears (he would not cry). But when Philip came to comfort him, all 3 of Kevin's pride had left him, and he cried like a child.
1 All: 'All' is the best choice here. It tells us 'how many' comic books were stolen from Kevin. 'All' represents the total number of Kevin's comic books.
1 Any: 'Any' is grammatically incorrect here. 'Any' is primarily used in interrogative and negative constructions and it cannot be used in this affirmative construction to represent a number of Kevin's comic books. However, we could say that 'Kevin doesn't have any comic books, because they were stolen'.
1 Much: We only use 'much' to qualify uncountable nouns. Because 'comic books' is a countable noun, we cannot use 'much' to describe it.
2 any: Because 'wouldn't' carries the negation of the sentence, we use 'any' here to express that Kevin 'will not cry', or that he 'will not shed tears'. 'Any' is primarily used in interrogative or negative sentences (such as this one) to indicate the absence or lack of something ('tears' in this case). A 'tear' is a drop of water secreted from the eye (the tear duct, to be exact) due to irritation or emotion. 'To shed a tear' is to cry.
2 none: We cannot use 'none' in this case because 'wouldn't' carries the negation of the sentence. Using 'none' here would create a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect.
2 all: 'All' is usually used to indicate the total or number of something and is rarely used in negative constructions such as this one. In this case, we use 'any' to indicate the absence of tears 'shed' by Kevin. In other words, we are trying to indicate that Kevin did not cry.
2 no: We cannot use 'no' in this case because 'wouldn't' carries the negation of the sentence. Using 'no' here would create a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect.
3 all: 'All' is the best choice here. 'All' is usually used to indicate the total, the quantity or amount of something. In this case, we are indicating that 'all' of Kevin's pride disappeared. It tells us 'how much' pride left Kevin.
3 none: While 'none' is grammatically correct here, it doesn't make sense within the context of the phrase. If Kevin's pride had 'not' left him, he would 'not' have cried.
3 any: 'Any' is grammatically incorrect here because we are talking about 'how much' pride Kevin has lost. 'Any' cannot be used to describe a 'portion' or part of Kevin's pride. However, we could say 'After crying, Kevin did not have any pride left', although this sentence is rather awkward.

This statement is false. There is no indication in Bruno's email that he will interview Mr. Steele personally.
This statement is true. Bruno writes: "If you could do me the favor of letting me know how the interview goes with Mr. Steele, I would appreciate it".
This statement is true. Bruno writes, "I consider it a privilege for us to have even received (Mr. Steele's) application". Bruno's phrase could be replaced by "we should be proud", which shares a similar meaning in this context.
This statement is true. Bruno writes that previously the IT team was made up of "bumbling morons". "A moron" is an "idiot", and the adjective "bumbling" also describes incompetence or clumsiness.
This statement is false. Although Bruno seems to be putting pressure on Luna to eventually hire Jeffrey Steele, he leaves the final decision to Luna DeLune. This is why Bruno asks Luna to "keep him informed" about the interview at the end of his email.

Luna asks about Trey's past work in various cosmetics corporations, however this is a standard interview question. A "suspicious (person)" has doubts or reservations about someone or something, and often does not trust others. Luna's questions do not indicate that she does not trust Trey. Her questions are focused on determining why he wants to work for Delavigne.
Trey states that he "would be proud to work for" Delavigne which clearly indicates that he has a positive opinion or thinks "very highly" of the Delavigne Corp.
Trey tells Luna that "the opportunity to manage a customer service department has always been a dream of mine" which indicates that he has wanted a position like this one for a long time, and that it is "in line with" his career objectives. "To comply" with someone or something is "to agree" or "to be in accord" with them. The term shares a similar meaning with the expression "to be in line with".
Trey states that he has known the Delavigne Corporation for a long time, however there is no indication that he has been trying to get a job at the Delavigne Corporation before this particular point in time.

has pride: When used to indicate possession, the verb "to have" must be followed by a noun (or pronoun). "Pride" can be used as a verb or a noun. Example as a noun: I have great pride in my daughter. Example as a verb: He prided himself on living so long. One can "have pride", "take pride", or "be proud". "Pride" is the pleasure or satisfaction that someone takes in doing something.
has proud: "Proud" is an adjective and cannot be used with the verb "to have". The adjective "proud" is generally used following the verb "to be". Example: I am proud of my accomplishments.
is pride: "Pride" is a noun and cannot be use with the verb "to be". One can "be proud" or "have pride", but once cannot "be pride".
is proud: The verb-adjective construction "is proud" is grammatically correct if followed by the appropriate preposition. However in this sentence, "is proud in" is incorrect. We must use the preposition "of" here. Example: He is proud of the work that he does.
