Esercizio 1
Polly writes that "Horatio has recovered our monkey".
In this context, this means:
In this context, this means:
Polly writes that "Horatio has recovered our monkey".
In this context, this means:
In this context, this means:
To "heal" someone means to "take care of their injury" or "bring them back to a state of good health". Example: The wound "healed" by itself, without any medication. Giuseppe was kidnapped, and Horatio found him and brought him back, which indicates that Horatio "recovered" Giuseppe, not that he "healed" the monkey. It is true that the verb "to recover" can indicate this sense of "medical improvement" in another context, and in the active voice.
This is not the best choice. To "comfort" a monkey means to "help him to relax" or "calm him down". Example: The flight attendants comforted the passenger who was afraid of flying.
This is the best choice. The term "recovered" means to "get something back that has been lost" in this context. Example: We "recovered" the files that had been accidentally deleted. Note that in another context, "to recover" can mean "to feel better" or "recuperate" from an illness or injury. "To rescue" expresses a similar meaning to the verb "to recover" in this context.
This is not the best choice. "To recover" does not indicate that Horatio has put the monkey in a bag. Although a similar term, "to re-cover" can mean to cover something second time with cloth or other material. Example: We "re-covered" the two old chairs in the living room. However, this does not share the same meaning with the term "recovered" as it is used in Polly's email.

1 ransom: "Ransom" is the right answer. A "ransom" is an amount of money demanded (under threat) as payment for the release of a captured person. Here's another example: "The businessman paid the £4 million ransom for his son, but his captors killed him anyway. You can't trust criminals".
2 encircled: "Encircled" is the correct answer. Other useful synonyms for to "encircle" include "hem in" or in this context "cordon off". Some difficult phrasal verbs today! For example, "The police encircled the area. There was a suspicious package, so they called the bomb squad."
3 loudspeaker: "Loudspeaker" is the correct term here. A loudspeaker is a device that transforms a voice or electrical signals into loud sounds. It increases the volume and is useful when talking to a large group of people, for example at a demonstration or march.
4 rescue: "Rescue" is the right answer. To "rescue" means to "save" or to "recover from danger". Another example of this is: "After surviving three weeks on the side of the glacier by eating his fingers and toes, a helicopter finally came to rescue him."
5 injured: "Injured" is the term we were looking for. To "injure" here means to "hurt" or "cause bodily harm". It is used in the adjective form in the dialogue. The noun is "injury". (Don't forget it becomes "injuries" in the plural). You now know everything about this word!
