Esercizio 1
Luna has written a letter to the cleaning company. Complete the letter below with the most appropriate words or phrases.
Dear Sir or Madam,
the standard of service the cleaner you sent us, Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús, is totally . Here are but two reasons for our dissatisfaction.
-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.
-Since he started working here, our once-manageable rodent problem has become out of control, and we've been forced to exterminators to resolve the problem.
Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will be using your company to meet our cleansing needs. I remind you that the cleaner you sent us was caught stealing the office plants, the one before her was discovered hiding under the desk of our marketing director, trying to look up her skirt, and the gentleman before that had to be brought down from the roof by the police. Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation you that the contract between our two companies is terminated.
Thank you for your understanding,
Regards,
Luna DeLune

1 I regret to inform you that: "I regret to inform you..." is a common, polite way to introduce bad news, and is the best choice here. An example: "We regret to inform our customers that we will no longer be selling apples".
1 I have the pleasure of informing you that: It does not make sense to introduce bad news with a positive statement such as this.
1 I would like to know if: Luna is not asking anything, so a question construction doesn't make sense.
2 provided by: "Provided by" is the best choice here. To "provide" a service is to supply it to someone. This sentence uses a passive construction. Example: "Sandwiches were provided by the organisers of the event".
2 monitored by: To "monitor (a situation)" is to "observe" or "survey" it. This does not make sense here.
2 esteemed by: To "esteem" someone is to "respect" them or "hold them in high regard". This does not make sense here.
3 unsatisfactory: "Unsatisfactory" is the best choice here. "Unsatisfactory" service is "inadequate" or "not good enough". Example: "Michael's behaviour at school is unsatisfactory".
3 radical: The term "radical" shares a similar meaning with "extreme". It can also mean "cool" or "excellent" when used by surfers. It is inappropriate here.
3 unsatisfying: Something which is "unsatisfying" leaves us "hungry" or "unfulfilled". It does not make sense here.
3 satisfactionless: This term does not exist.
4 hire: "Hire" is the best choice here. To "hire" someone is to "employ" them or "provide work" for them. Example: "Andrew has hired a cleaner to help him keep his house tidy".
4 fire: To "fire" someone is to "dismiss" or "sack" them. This does not make sense here.
4 release: To "release" something is to "set it free" or "liberate it". This does not make sense here.
5 no longer: The expression "no longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more" or "not any more", meaning that something has ended or stopped. Example: "I will no longer be eating cheese: I'm going vegan".
5 longer: The term "longer" means "more long", and it does not make sense here.
5 more: "More" means "additionally", and does not make sense here.
6 previous: "Previous" is the best answer here. The term "previous" shares a similar meaning with "former" or "past". In this context, Luna is referring to the cleaner who used to work at Delavigne in the past. Example: "Miriam's previous boyfriends were all slightly strange".
6 earliest: The term "earliest" means "first", chronologically. It does not make sense here.
6 following: The term "following" means "coming after or later". It is quite the opposite of the word Luna needs here.
6 ancient: The term "ancient" means "very old", and is not appropriate here.
7 to inform: "To inform" someone of something is to "tell them about it". The construction "it is my obligation to inform you that..." is a useful, formal phrase to introduce an official piece of news. Example: "It is my obligation to inform you that anything you say may be used in evidence in court".
7 to ask: "Ask" does not make sense here. Luna is making a statement; she is not asking a question.
7 to say: It does not make sense to use "to say" here. It is grammatically incorrect to "say someone something". Moreover, "to say" refers to spoken language, not letters.
7 to regret: To "regret (an event)" is to feel sorry or sad that it happened. This term does not make sense here.
8 hereby: "Hereby" is the best choice here. This little word means "by this document" or "as a result of this letter". Luna is saying that her letter serves as notice that the contract between Delavigne and the cleaning company has been ended. Another example: "I hereby resign from my job at this company".
8 by here: "By here" is a very colloquial expression meaning "around here". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
8 thereby: The term "thereby" refers to an action which is distant in time or space. It means "by that document" or "as a result of that letter". Since Luna is writing her own letter, we need the closer term: "hereby".
8 hypothetically: The term "hypothetically" means "in principle" or "in theory". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.

Rewrite this passage using the most appropriate terms. Make sure that both passages express the same idea!
My label 1 is established. It has a proven 2 customer base. All you do is provide 3 the perfumes, and we collect 4 the money.
1 label: Correct! A "brand" refers to a "mark" or "label" in this context. Famous "brands" include Armani or Nike. In this dialogue, Nigel tells Bruno that Pilkington Perfumes is an "established brand" in order to convince him that Pilkington should distribute Delavigne perfumes. A "label" can refer literally to a tag or "mark" like you might find inside a t-shirt, however it can also refer to a "brand" or "brand name". For example: Susie only wears selective labels.
1 offer: An "offer" is not synonymous with a "brand", in this or any other context.
1 store: A "store" is not synonymous with a "brand", in this or any other context.
2 proven: "Proven" is the best choice here. "Proven" means "established" or "reliable" in this context, as does the term Nigel uses, "built-in". A "built-in (customer base)", describes a group of clients or customers who can be depended upon to buy services or products, as opposed to a group of prospective clients or customers, who need to be convinced that a product is worthwhile.
2 large: "A built-in customer base" is not necessarily a large one, rather one which is dependable.
2 potential: "A built-in customer base" is not a potential one, but rather one which is real, and dependable.
2 rich: "A built-in customer base" is not necessarily a rich or wealthy one, but rather one which is dependable.
3 provide: This is correct. The verb "to supply" means to "provide" or to "furnish" in this context (and most others). Nigel explains that all Bruno must do in order to make money is give Nigel his perfumes so that he can sell them through the Pilkington distribution channels.
3 create: Incorrect. "Supplying" and "creating" are different ideas. "Creating" a perfume refers to its production or manufacturing.
3 sell: Incorrect. "Supplying" and "selling" are different ideas. "Selling" a perfume refers to its purchase by a customer or other distributor.
4 collect: This is the best choice. To "rake in (money)" is an idiom which describes "collecting", "receiving" or "making" a lot of money. A "rake" is literally a garden tool used to gather or collect leaves. The verb describes "amassing" or "collecting" something as well, in this case lots of money. Example: Our pyramid scheme will allow us to rake in a ton of cash!
4 spend: Incorrect. "Spending money" and "raking in money" are different ideas.
4 invest: Incorrect. "Investing money" and "raking in money" are different ideas. "Investing money" describes putting money in an account, property, stocks (etc) in the hopes of recovering more money in the future.

Which is the best synonym of "to make up"?
"just make up some sort of excuse to stop him from calling"
Which is the best synonym of "to make up"?
Which is the best synonym of "to make up"?
This is incorrect. "To attempt" means "to try". Example: I ATTEMPTED to swim the Atlantic Ocean but I failed. "To attempt" is not a synonym of "to make up".
In this context, "to make up (an excuse)" means to invent (an excuse), usually with the intention to deceive someone. Example: The student MADE UP an excuse about his dog eating his homework. In the conversation, Brian "makes up" an excuse about Bruno being dead to stop Mr. Floss from calling!
This is incorrect. "To provide" means "to give" or "to make available". Example: My company PROVIDES me with a mobile phone. "To provide" is not a synonym of "to make up".
This is incorrect. "To find" is not a synonym of "to make up".
