This statement is true. Sylvio Mazerati took control of Dulce and Carpaccio by buying the shares (or stocks) of family members (relatives of Giovanni and Alberto) who were in financial trouble. In the final paragraph of this article, we read that this takeover was "completely legitimate, and cannot be challenged in a court of law".
This statement is false. In the third paragraph, we read that Mazerati bought stock "discreetly" (=without people noticing) and "without the knowledge or approval of other stockholders". Consequently, most D&C shareholders had no idea that Mazerati had accumulated the majority of the company's stock (and was able to take over the company). This is confirmed at the end of the paragraph: "it came as a total surprise to all involved when Mazerati was elected CEO".
This statement is false. There is no indication that fashion house Dulce and Carpaccio was experiencing financial difficulties before the takeover. Sylvio Mazerati bought shares from "the struggling members of the Dulce and Carpaccio families (=the members who were in financial trouble), but this does not mean the company as a whole was 'struggling" or experiencing financial difficulties.
Esercizio 2
"Kevin Connors purchases materials ranging from glass bottles to seaweed."
This means that Kevin glass bottles and seaweed.
This means that Kevin glass bottles and seaweed.
"Kevin Connors purchases materials ranging from glass bottles to seaweed."
This means that Kevin buys 1 materials including 2 glass bottles and seaweed.
This means that Kevin buys 1 materials including 2 glass bottles and seaweed.
1 buys: Kevin "purchases", or "buys" seaweed, glass bottles and more. "To purchase (an item)" is to buy it!
1 sells: "To sell" is an antonym of "to purchase", the terms have opposite meanings. "To sell (an item)" is to exchange it for money.
1 puts in order: Don't confuse the term "ranging (from)" with the verb "to arrange", which can mean to put something in order!
2 materials including: "Ranging from (A to Z)" is an expression which describes a variety or spectrum of items, ideas or subjects. This sentence expresses that Kevin buys (or purchases) all kinds of materials including glass bottles, seaweed, and more.
2 mostly: The term "ranging" doesn't express the idea of usually or "mostly" buying an item, but rather it describes many items from a group or series.
2 only: The term "ranging" doesn't express the idea of exclusion or uniqueness, but rather it describes many items from a group or series.

1 evidence: "Evidence" and "proof" share a similar meaning. They both refer to "proving" something. "Proof of purchase" is often a receipt or invoice, which proves that you have bought something.
1 an announcement: This is not the best choice. An "announcement" is a "declaration" or "statement": these terms do not share a similar meaning with "proof".
1 a decision: This is not the best choice. When we make a "decision", we make a "choice". These terms do not share a similar meaning with "proof".
2 something you have bought: This is the best option here. When we "make a purchase", we "buy something". The term "to purchase" is more formal than "to buy", and it is often used in a business context. "Proof of purchase" is evidence that you have bought something.
2 something you need: This is not a good definition of "purchase".
2 something you plan to do: This is not a good definition of "purchase".
3 receipt: "Receipt" is the best choice here. A "receipt" is a little piece of paper which you receive when you buy something, for example in a shop. We usually need the receipt if we want to return an item to a shop. At work, we need to show receipts if we want our expenses to be reimbursed.
3 passport: A "passport" is an official form of identification used when travelling between countries. It's not the right answer here.
3 signature: A "signature" is an "autograph" or a "signed name". It is not the right answer here.

This statement is true. Hannah tells Philip that she is "allergic to dogs", meaning that she has allergy problems when she is around these animals. She may cough and sneeze when she is near dogs for example. Allergies to animals are common, but people may also be allergic to pollens, milk, nuts, etc.
This statement is false. After examining Philip's new dog, Brian claims that the dog has 8 nipples (projections of the skin through which milk is delivered), and no "dingaling", (an infantile term for a penis). This tells us that Philip's dog is a female, or girl dog.
This statement is false. At the conclusion of this scene, Philip decides to keep his dog, and not "give it away". Philip's decision to keep the dog is based both on his desire to reconcile with his attractive ex-girlfriend, but also because neither Hannah nor Brian will take the dog from him.
This statement is true. Philip explains to his colleagues that if he "takes care of" or "is responsible for" his ex-girlfriend's dog, then she may "get back together" with him. To "get back together (with an ex-girlfriend)" is to reconcile with them, or to renew a relationship that was previously troubled. At the end of the scene, Philip exclaims that he is "keeping this dog, because (his) ex-girlfriend is super hot", suggesting that he wants to reconcile with her.
This statement is false. Philip never "purchased" or "bought" his new dog, rather it was left at his apartment by an ex-girlfriend. "To purchase (an item at a store)" is to pay for it, or exchange money for it.
