1 hired: This is correct. To "hire" someone is to employ them or to obtain their services to do a particular job, for example: "I've recently hired a new assistant because I have so many things to do at work." In this conversation, Bruno complains about the many decisions he makes professionally and personally, including "who to hire".
2 raised: This is correct. "To raise (a salary)" is to increase it. We also talk about "getting a raise" or "a pay raise" ("pay rise" in the UK), for example: "I raised the salaries of the employees for the good work they had done." In this conversation, Bruno complains about the decisions he has to make ("who to raise") because he is the person responsible for setting pay levels at the Delavigne Corporation. Note that the verb "to raise" also describes the act of lifting or elevating something.
3 dating: This is correct. "To date (someone)" means "to go out with (someone)" or "to have a romantic relationship" with them. In this conversation, Bruno complains about the many decisions he has to make, including what person he should be having a relationship with ("who to date"). Note the use of the progressive form in this construction "to make the mistake of DOING (something)".
4 fire: This is correct. "To fire (an employee)" is to dismiss someone from a job, often because of unprofessional behavior or poor performance. In the conversation, Bruno complains about the decisions he has to make ("who to fire") because he is the person responsible for making personnel decisions at the Delavigne Corporation.

This statement is false. Although Donna does suggest that Icarus should buy some new clothes, it isn't because she thinks he needs them or that she is criticising the way he dresses, it is just one example she gives of things to try in order for Icarus to feel better about himself.
This statement is false. Donna asks Icarus whether his purposes in life are "earning good money" or "finding love". At no point in the dialogue however does Icarus make a comment on this or agree with Donna. To "earn (money)" means to make or acquire it in return for services or labour. Example: If you work hard, you will earn a lot of money.
This is a true statement. Donna says to Icarus "we've gone over by 5 minutes". In this context, to "go over by 5 minutes" means to spend 5 minutes more time than was anticipated or allotted for this session.
This statement is false. Donna does tell Icarus to ask for a "pay-rise" but it isn't because she thinks he is being exploited. A "pay-rise" is an increase in salary. Donna advises Icarus to "do something he wouldn't normally do" and to "challenge" himself by asking for a "pay-rise".

1 deaf: This is the correct choice. A person who cannot hear, whether from birth or due to illness later on in life is said to be "deaf". In the dialogue, Donna talks about her cat being "the only person who ever listens" to her and then reveals that her cat is "deaf", so cannot hear her.
2 pay-rise: In the dialogue, Donna advises Icarus to "ask for a pay-rise" as an exercise to increase his assertiveness. A "pay-rise" is an increase in your weekly, monthly, or yearly salary.
Esercizio 4
According to the audio, which topics were discussed in the previous negotiations between Bruno and the labor union (in the 'collective bargaining agreement')?
According to the audio, which topics were discussed in the previous negotiations between Bruno and the labor union (in the 'collective bargaining agreement')?
This is incorrect. Although the issue of working hours is exactly the kind of topic that would be discussed at a union negotiation meeting, this was not actually discussed at the previous meeting with Leonard and Bruno.
This is incorrect. Staff training (French lessons) is the main purpose of Leonard's visit, but it was not discussed at the previous meeting between Bruno and Leonard. When Leonard says 'My people want professional training, French lessons specifically', he is asking for language courses in the future.
This is incorrect. Although sports facilities (such as a company gym or a ping pong table) are reasonable topics of conversation in a union negotiation meeting, this was not discussed at the previous meeting with Leonard and Bruno.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved a salary increase, a pension fund, a new health plan with the best HMO in California and even spousal benefits!' This means that in the previous negotiations Bruno had with Leonard, the Delavigne Corporation agreed to give 'spousal benefits'. 'Spousal' is an adjective which describes anything relating to a 'spouse'. A 'spouse' is a partner in marriage (a husband or wife) and one half of a 'married couple'.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved a salary increase, a pension fund, a new health plan with the best HMO in California and even spousal benefits!' A 'salary' is another word for a 'wage', and a 'rise' is an 'increase'. Note that a 'wage rise' is commonly used in British English, with the American equivalent being a 'pay raise', or simply a 'raise'.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved... a pension fund.' 'A pension fund' refers to a sum of money set aside by an employer for the use of the employee when he or she retires. This money generally increases in value and in many cases is accessible to the employee after they have worked for a certain amount of time. For example: Police are entitled to a generous pension after they have worked for at least 20 years.

1 rises: This is correct. We say that the sun 'rises' in the morning and 'sets' in the evening, giving us the terms 'a sunrise' and 'a sunset'. The term 'to rise' shares a similar meaning with the terms 'to ascend' or 'to go up'. Note that the verb 'to rise' is irregular: rise/rose/risen.
1 arises: This is incorrect. To 'arise' shares a similar meaning with 'to happen' or 'to occur'. This term does not make sense in this context. Note that 'arise' can mean to 'stand up' or 'lift oneself up', but the term 'rise' is more common in modern English, and to say that the sun 'arises' is unnatural.
1 raises: This is incorrect. The term 'to raise' shares a similar meaning with 'to lift' or 'to make higher'. It does not make sense in the context of this sentence, since nobody is 'lifting' or 'raising' the sun. This verb must be used with an object in order to make sense: 'I raised my head when he said 'hello' to me', 'Could you raise the poster higher so that everyone can see it?'.
2 arise: This is correct. The term 'to arise' shares a similar meaning with 'to happen' or 'to occur' in this context. We often talk of 'problems', 'issues', or 'questions' which 'arise'. This is the same use of the term as heard in the dialogue. Note that the verb 'to arise' is irregular: arise/arose/arisen.
2 rise: This is incorrect. The term 'rise' shares a shares a similar meaning with the terms 'to ascend' or 'to go up'. This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
2 raise: This is incorrect. The term 'to raise' shares a similar meaning with 'to lift' or 'to make higher'. Although it is possible to raise 'questions' or 'points', using 'raise' in this construction is grammatically incorrect. This verb must be used with an object in order to make sense: 'I raised my head when he said 'hello' to me', 'Could you raise the poster higher so that everyone can see it?'. A question cannot 'raise', but it can 'be raised'.R
3 raising: This is correct. The term 'to raise' shares a similar meaning with 'to lift', 'to make higher', or in the context of this sentence specifically, 'to increase'. This sentence indicates that the 'price' or cost of these products has 'been getting higher'. For example, we often talk of 'raising taxes' or 'raising costs'.
3 rising: This is incorrect. The term 'to rise' is grammatically incorrect in this sentence because it cannot take a direct object. We cannot say '(I) rise the prices'; rather we say 'the prices rise' or 'I raise the prices'.
3 arising: This is incorrect. The term 'to arise' is grammatically incorrect in this sentence because it cannot take a direct object. Additionally, the term 'to arise' shares a similar meaning with 'to occur' or 'to happen', and it does not make sense to say that 'prices occur' or 'prices happen'.
