Esercizio 1
What is the meaning of the phrase, "The coffee and cookies will be available in my office from 2:15 until their supply is exhausted"?
What is the meaning of the phrase, "The coffee and cookies will be available in my office from 2:15 until their supply is exhausted"?
Since the cookies and coffee are already prepared, their supply is not dependent upon the endurance and stamina of the cook.
When the "supply" of something is "exhausted" it means that nothing remains. This is what Polly is expressing in her email.
It is a well known fact that cookies have neither vocal chords nor hands, usually necessary when begging or pleading. This choice is incorrect.
Since the subject of the sentence is the coffee and cookies, the hours of the office are not related to their being "exhausted".

Icarus writes that he hopes the stapler "remains in his possession".

Icarus writes that he hopes the stapler "remains in his possession".
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Icarus is not hoping that his stapler stays in good condition, but rather that it stay close to him, or in his possession. "To remain" and "to maintain" do not express similar meanings.
This is the best choice. When Icarus writes that he hopes the stapler "remains in his possession", he is expressing that he wants to keep the stapler with him. He is concerned that the rest of the staff will take his stapler from his office, and so he writes that he wants to keep his stapler for himself.
Icarus' statement doesn't indicate that he wants his stapler to "last" for a long time, but rather that he hopes to keep it in his possession.
Icarus' statement doesn't indicate that he wants people to appreciate his purchase, but rather that he hopes to keep it in his possession.
Esercizio 3
Kevin has about using the accounting staff for his own personal needs. But it remains whether or not he will be punished.
Kevin has been warned 1 about using the accounting staff for his own personal needs. But it remains to be seen 2 whether or not he will be punished.
1 been warned: We use the passive voice here because Kevin is the recipient of the action. He 'has been warned' means that someone else has notified him of danger.
1 warned: We cannot use the active voice here because Kevin is not 'warning' but 'has been warned'.
1 warns: The present tense of the verb is not appropriate in this case.
2 to be seen: We must use the passive voice in this case to express the unfinished nature of the sentiment. 'It remains to be seen' can be learnt as an idiom, and the verb 'to remain' often takes a passive form after it, for example: It remains to be seen how many people will vote in the election.
2 be seen: We must use the full infinitive 'to be' in this case. This is not the best choice here.
2 to see: We cannot use the active voice here. 'It remains to be seen' is an idiom that requires the passive voice.

1 quite: This is correct. "Rather" is synonymous with "quite", "somewhat", or "a little" in this context. For example: "It was rather dark in the office after we turned off the lights".
1 hardly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "hardly". "Hardly" means the same thing as "barely", "only just", or "not very much". For example: "You've hardly eaten anything! Are you sick?"
1 instantly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "instantly". "Instantly" means "immediately" or "right away".
2 considered leaving: This is the correct answer. "To contemplate" and "to consider" are synonymous in this context. Both terms mean to "think about" or "reflect" on/about something. For example "My brother is contemplating moving to France for his job".
2 decided to leave: This is incorrect. "To decide to do something" is to "make a decision" that you will do it. This expresses certainty, whereas when you "consider doing something", you are not sure if you will do it.
2 wanted to leave: This is incorrect. "To want to" is not synonymous with "to contemplate". If somebody is contemplating doing something, they don't know whether they want to do it or not yet.
3 stay: This is the right choice. "To remain" and "to stay" are synonymous in this context. For example: "I know I slept with your wife, but I hope we can remain friends."
3 be discussed: This is not the correct choice. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to discuss". If a topic is "discussed", then it is "talked" or "spoken" about. For example: "Brian's schedule needs to be discussed in the morning meeting!".
3 be understood: This is not the right answer. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to understand"."To be understood" is "to be comprehended". For example: "The rules of the office need to be understood by all employees".

This is one of the topics which Philip wants to discuss with Harold Warbuckle. The term "inventory" generally refers to either a list of items in stock, or the items themselves. In this email, Philip writes that he wishes to discuss what Warbuckle "still has in "stock". "Stock" and "inventory" are synonymous in the context. "Remaining (products)" are those which are 'left over", or which still exist in the store and haven't been sold.
This is not a topic which Philip wants to discuss with Harold Warbuckle. Do not confuse "stock" in the sense of "inventory" or product with "stock" in the sense of a financial product such as a "share"!
This is not a topic which Philip wants to discuss with Harold Warbuckle. Harold Warbuckle is already a distributor of Delavigne products. Philip wants to discuss which products have been selling well at Harold's stores.
