Esercizio 1
What is Bob's conclusion regarding his technical problem?
What is Bob's conclusion regarding his technical problem?
This is the best choice here. Bob says: "So I should probably return all these access points I just bought". In this context, the verb "to return" is synonymous with "to take back".
This is incorrect. Bob is worried that Bruno is going to be upset or angry that Bob must return the access points. Bob hopes that he still has the receipt, he wouldn't ask Bruno for the receipt.
Although Bob may do this, it is not the conclusion indicated within the dialogue.
This is incorrect. Although the technician recommends that Bob hire an IT consultant, Bob objects, because he is in fact an IT consultant himself.

There may be more than one correct answer!
"Response" shares a similar meaning with "feedback". Both terms refer to the reply or reaction which someone makes: for example after an event. In the context of the dialogue, Icarus is referring to the opinions which he and the other members of the focus group will express. Example: "I'd like you to write your responses on the back on a postcard".
When used as a noun, the term "return" refers to the moment at which somebody comes back, or comes home. Example: "I will answer my emails on my return to the office". It is unrelated to the term "feedback".
Not likely! A "food bag" is a soft container for holding edible items. It may sound like "feedback", but it's completely unrelated!
"Reaction" is similar in meaning to "feedback". These terms refer to the comments a person makes in response or in reply to an event or item. In the dialogue, the Delavigne employees will give their "reactions" about the new products. Example: "What was Jane's reaction when you told her that her brother was ill?".
Esercizio 3

True or false? Horatio will send his ingredients back to the supplier.
This statement is not true.
This statement is false. At the end of the dialogue, Icarus says "agreed" to Horatio's proposal that he keep his ingredients, and teach Icarus to be "cool". This means that they have reached a deal, and Horatio will not return his products to the supplier.

1 currently: "Currently" means "at present" or "right now". It is the best choice in this sentence and a term often found in automatic reply messages.
1 actually: This is not the best choice. "Actually" means "in reality" or "in fact". The term doesn't indicate the present time.
1 soon: Using "soon" in this sentence is grammatically incorrect. The future tense would be more appropriate for using soon ("I will be away soon"), but even this sentence is not likely to be used in a professional automatic reply email.
2 limited: "Limited" is the best choice here to describe "infrequent" or "occasional" consulting of emails. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
2 sometime: "Sometime access to emails" is a very unnatural phrase which shouldn't be used in this context, or any other. We might say, "I will be checking my email sometimes", however this sentence doesn't express the same idea of having limited access.
2 rare: Although the term "rare" indicates something "infrequent", or "occasional", the term shouldn't be used in this context. "Rare" is generally used to describe something such as a painting or animal which is hard to find!
3 returning: "Returning" is the best choice for this sentence. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
3 making my comeback: This sentence should never be used in an automatic reply message. The expression "a comeback" is generally reserved for people or objects that are making a resurgence, or regaining popularity after a period of unpopularity or failure. For example: "Vinyl records made a comeback in the late 90's" or "Mickey Rourke made a comeback after years of obscurity".
3 going back: "Going back" shouldn't be used in this sentence. "To go" expresses sense of traveling somewhere for the first time, and "going back" is an awkward expression to use in this type of professional email.
4 on: "On" is the correct preposition to use here. When speaking about specific dates, we use the preposition "on" to precede the date. Example: On March 14th, on the third of May.
4 in: "In" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "In" can precede larger periods. Example: In May, In 2007, In two weeks.
4 at: "At" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "At" can be used in prepositional phrases to describe more vague periods: At the end of the week, At the start of the month.
5 reached: "Reached" is the best choice here. "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting by telephone". "You can reach me..." is a common phrase found in this type of message.
5 joined: The term "joined" is not used to describe "reaching" or "contacting" someone by telephone or email. The term is generally used to describe physically meeting with someone. For example: Please join us at the restaurant at 7:00. "Join" can also be figuratively when inviting someone to watch or listen to a program: "Please join us tomorrow on the Rich Morning Show!"
5 touched: The verb "touched" is not used to describe contacting someone by telephone or email. The term is used literally to describe physical contact, or figuratively to describe a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction: I was touched by his wonderful letter.
6 please: "Please" is the best choice here in order to form a polite request.
6 thanks to: "Thanks to" cannot be used in this sentence. We use this expression to indicate a cause or reason: "Thanks to your help, we signed the contract".

1 return: In this context, the verb "to return" is synonymous with "to exchange" or "to take back". Products are generally "returned" for other items (of the same value), "store credit" (a voucher or coupon good towards another item or items) or a "refund" (repayment of the money originally spent on the item).
2 receipt: A "receipt" describes an acknowledgment of purchase or payment, often in the form of a piece of paper. For example: Many people keep their receipts for major purchases: televisions, cars, etc. In this conversation, Brian asks Philip if he has his receipt, or proof of purchase, for a bottle of Delavigne cologne.
3 defective: A "defective" product is broken or dysfunctional, however the term is used mostly to describe a problem due to a manufacturing default. In other words, a defective product is not the fault of the consumer, but rather the manufacturer. Example: Toyota is recalling 1000 cars due to a defective steering wheel.
4 credit: A "(store) credit" refers to a coupon, voucher or a payment, an amount of money, a sum (towards a purchase). Store credit is often given to customers instead of a full cash refund, which obliges them to spend their money in the store. In this conversation, Brian tells Philip that maybe a "clerk" at the store will give him "store credit" for his bottle of perfume.
5 refund: A "refund" is money credited to someone for the return of a product or service which has been purchased. Note that it is actual cash (or a reimbursement via transfer), rather than a credit. "A full cash refund" is reimbursement in the form of cash.
