The original features of an apartment are its authentic characteristics: the elements of the apartment which have been there since the apartment was built or designed. An original feature of an apartment might be hardwood flooring, or a stone fireplace: physical elements of the apartment. A fireplace is a chimney, or a space used for making a fire within a house or apartment. "Stone" is concrete or mineral matter, formed from rock.
The original features of an apartment are physical elements of an apartment. The low rent of the apartment can't be considered an original feature. Rent is the money (generally paid monthly) by a tenant to live in a property owned by someone else.
The original features of an apartment are physical elements of an apartment. The location of the apartment can't be considered an original feature.
The original features of an apartment are its authentic and unique characteristics: the elements of the apartment which have been there since the apartment was built or designed or the elements which set it apart from others. An original feature of an apartment might be hardwood flooring, or a stone fireplace: physical elements of the apartment. Hardwood floors are a series of wooden pieces which create the flooring of a house or apartment.
Esercizio 3
Select all of the TRUE statements from the list below according to Bruno's email.
Select all of the TRUE statements from the list below according to Bruno's email.
This statement is false. Although Bruno does mention that Polly has reserved a plane ticket for him, she hasn't arranged transportation from the airport to the ranch. To "rent" (a car) is to pay for the use of a car for a short period of time. Polly has not rented a car for Bruno.
This is a true statement. Bruno writes in his email to Warbuckle, "I will arrange my own transportation". He means that he will take care of his transportation on his own, that he will get himself from the airport to the ranch, and doesn't need Warbuckle to organise anything for him.
This statement is false. Bruno writes, "Although I don't own a rifle, I'm pretty sure they're not allowed on commercial flights". Bruno is indicating that he does not have (or "own") a rifle, and even if he did, he doubts that he would be permitted to bring it on a plane. Bruno is not expressing that he doesn't want to bring a rifle, but rather that it is illegal!
This statement is false. Bruno writes in his email, "I must admit I'm curious to know what's on your mind". He means that he is intrigued or curious to find out what is "troubling" or "bothering" Warbuckle. From this information, we can assume Bruno doesn't yet know what Warbuckle wants to discuss with him.
This statement is false. There is nothing in Bruno's email to suggest that he is surprised by Harold's invitation. On the contrary, Bruno writes "your invitation warms my heart", meaning that the invitation has made him feel happy or content.

This is a true statement. Warbuckle calls Polly a "secretary", but she is a "personal assistant".
This is a true statement. Warbuckle asks Icarus: "Would you mind if my accountant gave you a call sometime?", and later tells him that his accountant will "be in touch before April". He is asking Icarus if it would be possible for one of his representatives to contact him, most likely for tax or financial advice, and then confirming that he will "have this person call" before April. "To have someone (call)" is to instruct or order another person (usually an employee) to make a phone call.
This is a true statement. Polly says: "Mr. Delavigne is running a bit late. He should be here very shortly". To "run late" means to be behind schedule, usually for a meeting or appointment. Polly is explaining to Harold that Bruno Delavigne has been delayed, or not "on time".
This is the only false statement here. The Delavigne Corporation "owns" the 14th floor, it does not "rent" it. To "own" something is to possess it, for example: I own my flat, I do not rent it. I bought it for $150,000 two years ago. The verb "to rent" describes a payment or series of payments made for the use of something such as a car or apartment.

1 lent: This is correct. To "lend (a pen to someone)" is to give someone the use of a pen on the condition that it will be returned, for example: Can you lend me 20 dollars? I'll give it back to you tomorrow. Note that this term should not be confused with "to give" (where there is no sense of a return) or "to borrow" (which often has an opposite meaning).
1 rented: This is incorrect. "Renting" a t-shirt would imply that a charge is involved, which is not the case here. Also the correct grammatical version would be to say "My friend rented a t-shirt to me".
1 hired: This is incorrect. "Hired" is grammatically incorrect in this sentence.
1 borrowed: This is incorrect. Do not confuse "to borrow" and "to lend". To "borrow" is to get or receive something from someone with the intention of giving it back after a period of time, for example: I borrowed a t-shirt from my friend, and promised to give it back to her.
2 hired: To "hire (a taxi)" is a term that is used in British English to describe paying to use a taxi for a short period, for example: We hired the hall for the marriage. Note that the term "to hire" is only used in American English to mean "recruiting (someone)".
2 rented: This is incorrect. To "rent (a taxi)" would imply paying to use (and drive) a taxi for a long period of time, such as a day or a week.
2 lent: This is incorrect. "Lent" makes no sense in this example. "Lending (a taxi)" implies giving it to someone on the condition that you will get it back.
2 borrowed: This is incorrect. "Borrowing (a taxi)" is possible, but very unlikely. "Borrowing (a taxi)" implies asking to use the taxi (without paying for it) with the condition that you will give it back.
3 borrow: This is correct. To "borrow (money from a bank)" is to take money from a bank and pay it back over a period of time, for example: Like many companies at the time, we had to borrow a lot to survive. Note the use of the preposition: to borrow something FROM someone.
3 lend: This is incorrect. A bank may "lend" money to you, but it very unlikely that you would lend money to a bank!
3 rent: This is incorrect. Money itself cannot be "rented".
3 hire: This is incorrect. Money itself cannot be "hired".
4 rent: This is correct. To "rent (something)" is to pay or receive a fixed amount of money for the use of something such as a car, flat, house, etc, for example: I rented a car for a week when I went to the south of France. Note that in British English the term can have a similar meaning with "hire", however you cannot "hire" a flat.
4 hire: This is incorrect. "Hiring" something implies paying for the use of it for a short period of time. In the case of property (flats, apartments, house, etc), the term "to rent" is always used.
4 borrow: This is incorrect. "Borrowing (an apartment)" would imply that no charge is involved, which makes little sense here.
4 lend: This is incorrect. We might "lend" the use of an apartment to someone, however this makes little sense given the context of the sentence.
5 rent: This is correct. A movie is "rented" in American English. In her letter, Luna writes that she has rented a film. This means that she is paying for the short term use of a film.
5 hire: This is incorrect. In American English, one cannot "hire" a movie. This term is only used in British English. In American English, the verb "to hire" means to engage the services of someone, for example: We need to hire a new secretary for our international team.
