This statement is true. Although Bruno lists 4 suggestions, he obviously has a clear favorite. Bruno writes that he is "happy to consider any of the above options, as long as it's number 4". This is a humorous way of saying he is only interested in option 4! Bruno then invites Brian to offer him "pro-statue feedback". If you are "pro" something, you are in favor of it. Example: People in New York tend to be PRO-OBAMA; though people in the countryside are often ANTI-OBAMA.
This statement is false. The subject of the email "30 years" does not correspond to Bruno's age; it indicates the time that has passed since Bruno's first perfume sale.
This statement is false. The list contains ideas or suggestions about which Bruno wants Brian to provide feedback. Bruno does not ask Brian to organize each of the options.
This statement is true. Bruno writes, "on this day, 30 years ago, I sold my first perfume!" A "sale" is the noun form of the verb "to sell", to exchange something for money.

Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb.
When he was a boy, Bob [not done] spent 1 a lot of his time alone with his mother. His father [not done] flew 2 all over the country, delivering tractor engines to farmers. He [not done] had been 3 a fighter pilot in the war, but when he [not done] got 4 back home he no longer had a job. So the family [not done] sold 5 their home to buy an airplane. While his father was making deliveries, Bob and his mother would sleep in churches and abandoned buildings.

While his father was making deliveries, Bob and his mother would sleep in churches and abandoned buildings.
1 spent: Because we are speaking about the past (when Bob was a boy), we can use the past simple tense (preterit). To spend: I spend / I spent / I have spent. In this case, the simple past expresses 'habit in the past' and doesn't describe a single completed action as it often does. In this construction, 'When he was a boy, Bob spent...' expresses the same meaning as 'when he was a boy, Bob USED TO spend...'
2 flew: Because we are speaking about the past (when Bob was younger), we must use the past simple tense. To fly: I fly / I flew / I have flown. In this case, the simple past expresses 'habit in the past' and doesn't describe a single completed action as it often does. This construction expresses the same meaning as 'Bob's father USED TO fly...'
3 had been: The past perfect tense (he had been) can be used here. It uses the past participle form of 'to be' (I am / I was / I have been). The Past perfect is used to clearly define the sequence of events in the past by showing that one event happened before another event. In this exercise, the fact that Bob's father was a fighter pilot BEFORE returning home and not having a job is made very clear.
4 got: Because we are speaking about the past (when Bob was a boy), we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To get: I get / I got / I have gotten (US), got (UK). Usually 'I have got' is understood to mean 'I have' or 'I must'. For example: 'I've got six cars': 'I own six cars'; or 'I've got to go see my sister': 'I need to go see my sister'.
5 sold: Because we are speaking about the past (when Bob was a boy), we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To sell: I sell / I sold / I have sold.

This means that Kevin glass bottles and seaweed.
"Kevin Connors purchases materials ranging from glass bottles to seaweed."
This means that Kevin buys 1 materials including 2 glass bottles and seaweed.
This means that Kevin buys 1 materials including 2 glass bottles and seaweed.
1 buys: Kevin "purchases", or "buys" seaweed, glass bottles and more. "To purchase (an item)" is to buy it!
1 sells: "To sell" is an antonym of "to purchase", the terms have opposite meanings. "To sell (an item)" is to exchange it for money.
1 puts in order: Don't confuse the term "ranging (from)" with the verb "to arrange", which can mean to put something in order!
2 materials including: "Ranging from (A to Z)" is an expression which describes a variety or spectrum of items, ideas or subjects. This sentence expresses that Kevin buys (or purchases) all kinds of materials including glass bottles, seaweed, and more.
2 mostly: The term "ranging" doesn't express the idea of usually or "mostly" buying an item, but rather it describes many items from a group or series.
2 only: The term "ranging" doesn't express the idea of exclusion or uniqueness, but rather it describes many items from a group or series.
