This is a true statement. The doctor writes that Philip isn't "taking the necessary precautions...in his personal life" and that "this could pose problems in the future". Since she says she has "spoken to Mr. Cheeter at length about a number of sexually transmitted diseases", it seems clear that Dr. Shvitzenheimer is concerned about Philip's risky sexual behavior.

1 CD: "A CD" or "certificate of deposit" is a type of account which generally "yields" or "returns" a significant rate of interest upon certain conditions. For example, you could place your money in a CD with a 3% interest rate on the condition that you do not touch the money for a period of 1 year or 2 years. Icarus wants to invest the second third of the 1.2 million dollars in a CD.
2 interest: In financial terms, "interest" refers to a fixed charge (usually a percentage) for money borrowed, lent or placed. In this context, the company will receive "interest" (a percentage of the sum invested) from the placement of 400,000 dollars into a CD.
3 stock: "Stock" refers to values or shares traded publicly on the "stock market" or "stock exchange". These shares represent money placed in a publicly owned business, a commodity, etc. Icarus wants to invest the last third of the 1.2 million dollars in the stock market in the hopes of getting a return over the long term.
4 market: The "stock market" is an exchange (it is both a physical location as well as a virtual marketplace) where "stocks" (shares or values) are traded (bought, sold or exchanged). Icarus wants to invest the last third of Delavigne's surplus cash in the stock market for a long term return.
5 risky: "Risky" is an adjective which describes the danger or potential danger of an action. In this case, Icarus is explaining to Bruno that investing in the stock market can be "dangerous" or "risky" because of the potential loss of money.

If something is "likely to decrease the risk of health complications", this means that it will make health complications .
If something is "likely to decrease the risk of health complications", this means that it will make health complications less likely.
less likely: This is the correct choice. The sentence "going vegetarian decreases the risk of colon cancer" means "going vegetarian makes you less likely to get colon cancer". If a risk is decreased, then it is less likely to happen! In Kevin's email, we read that a breathing device is "likely to decrease the risk of health complications". This means that health complications (or problems) will be less likely with this product.
more likely: If the sentence read "increased risk of health complications", then this would be the correct answer. Unfortunately, it reads "DEcreased", not "INcreased", so this isn't the best choice here.
Esercizio 4
If an offer is off the table, it is .
If an offer is off the table, it is no longer available.
no longer available: This is the correct choice. "(To put) an offer on the table" is to make an offer available to someone. The opposite expression is to take an offer "off the table", which means to remove it as a possibility. In other words, an offer which is "off the table" is no longer valid, or available. In this scene, Philip decides to keep his dog, and his offer to pay Hannah or Brian to take it is "off the table".
too good to be true: This choice is incorrect. The expression "too good to be true" describes something which seems so appealing or beneficial that one doubts its veracity. For example: Your offer to clean my home for the next 10 years seems too good to be true.
uninteresting: This choice is incorrect. The expression "the offer is off the table" does not refer to an unappealing or uninteresting offer, but rather to one which is "no longer valid" or "available".
risky: This choice is incorrect. A "risky" offer is potentially dangerous, or might result in negative consequences. The expression "the offer is off the table" does not refer to a risky or dangerous offer, but rather to one which is "no longer valid" or "available".

Complete the following sentences with the most appropriate term or phrase.
This train is for Vladivostok. Estimated journey time: 13 days. Our train crew will be to help you if you need any further information. For your own safety, please do not lean out of the windows, even when the scenery is beautiful. Some areas contain giant bears, which eat any body parts shown to them.

1 bound: If a person or vehicle is "bound for" somewhere, then that is its destination. For example: "We are currently on a plane bound for Shanghai". We can also use "bound for" to refer to something that a person is very likely to achieve. For example: "She is such an incredible singer that she is bound for stardom".
1 apt: We generally do not use "to be apt" before the word "for". Rather, we use "to be apt to (do something)". For example: "My sister is apt to shout when she gets angry".
1 going: We use "to go to", not "to go for", to refer to a destination. For example: "I am going to the supermarket". "To go for" has a different meaning: it means "to choose" or "to select". For example: "-Which wine shall we go for? -I'd like to try the Zinfandel".
2 happy: "Happy to help" is a common idiom used in the service industry to refer to a worker's willingness to provide assistance. For example: "If you have any problems with any of our products, our support team will be happy to help you".
2 apt: "To be apt to" generally refers to something negative: a bad habit, or a risk. It is unlikely to be used in this context to refer to the positive action of "help(ing)". We might say: "Their staff are so rude. They are apt to insult you if you complain about anything".
2 about: This option is very unlikely. If someone is "about to" do something, then they will do it very soon. For example: "Can I call you back, Mum? I'm about to serve dinner". The staff of the train are unlikely to be "about to" help passengers at the exact moment when they want information.
3 are apt to: If the bears "are apt to eat body parts", then there is a risk that the bears will eat body parts. "To be apt to" expresses a risk or a bad habit. For example: "I am apt to chew my fingernails when I'm nervous".
3 feel like: The term "to feel like" is followed by a noun or a verb in the "-ing" form, not a verb in the infinitive like "eat". For example: "I feel like a burrito" (I would like to eat a burrito); "I feel like watching a movie" (I would like to watch a movie).
3 risk to: We do not form sentences with the verb "risk" in this way. Generally, the subject of the verb "to risk" is the person potentially in danger, not the source of the danger. For example: "You risk being eaten by a bear if you camp alone in that forest" (or "You are at risk of being eaten by a bear…").
