1 summarizes: This is the best choice. "To summarize" means to take all the elements of something (in this case the week's news) and briefly outline the main points. "To summarize" is a perfect synonym for "to round up".
1 compares: This is incorrect. "To compare" means to take two or more elements and study their similarities and differences. For example, we could compare London and Paris. We could say Paris is more beautiful than London, but London has better food. This is comparing.
1 ridicules: This is incorrect. "To ridicule" means "to mock". For example, "They laughed at the Scotsman because he was wearing a kilt. It was quite funny at first, but I got the impression they were ridiculing him for it. He looked very upset". The term is not synonymous with "to round up"
2 correctness: This is correct. "Accuracy" refers to the truth or correctness of something. If the Sunday Roast cannot "guarantee the accuracy" of this article, then they cannot promise that its content is true or real.
2 humor: This is incorrect. "Humour" refers to how funny or amusing something is. This article was very funny or "humorous", however "humour" and "accuracy" are not synonymous!
2 pertinence: This is an incorrect answer. "Pertinence" describes how relevant something is. For example, "The facts we collected were quite pertinent to the debate. They proved our points exactly".
3 money: This is correct. In this context, to be able "to afford" something means to have enough money to purchase or pay for it. Having the Queen of England rap would probably cost a lot of money. Elkie Johns has a lot of money it seems. Some might say he has more dollars than sense!
3 power: This is incorrect. Elkie Johns is a very well known musician and possibly very powerful (meaning that he has influence or control). However, "having power" is unrelated to being able to "afford" something!
3 creativity: This is incorrect. Most musicians are known for their creativity. "To be creative" means "to be artistic" or "imaginative". However, "creativity" is unrelated to being able to "afford" something!

Sam begins his message by saying "Just to follow up on our discussion from last week..."
Sam wants to the discussion from last week.
Sam wants to the discussion from last week.
Sam begins his message by saying "Just to follow up on our discussion from last week..."
Sam wants to continue or pursue the discussion from last week.
Sam wants to continue or pursue the discussion from last week.
continue or pursue: The expression "to follow up" on something is to continue pursuing something, or to recommence something which was started earlier. Sam is continuing the discussion which began last week, and he introduces the purpose of his message by referring to last week's discussion. "To follow up" or as a noun "a follow-up" is used frequently in telephone conversations and written correspondence in English.
inquire or ask about: To "inquire" about something is to ask information about something, and does not mean the same as to "follow up on" a situation. Sam does not require any additional information from Bruno, but actually calling to set up a meeting so that he can give information to Bruno.
remind Bruno about: To "remind" someone of something is to mention something again, so that someone remembers something that happened in the past. Sam is not "reminding" Bruno of their past discussion, rather he is "calling in regards to" or "following up on" their discussion.
summarize or recapitulate: "To summarize" something is to describe it succinctly, or give the essential information about it. This term is different in meaning than "to follow up", and it is not what Sam is expressing in this phrase.
end or conclude: "To end or conclude" something is to "finish it". These terms is different in meaning than "to follow up", and it is not what Sam is expressing in this phrase.

From the list below, choose the expression which could replace the phrase all that aside as it is used in Polly's email.
From the list below, choose the expression which could replace the phrase all that aside as it is used in Polly's email.
This is the best choice. The expression "all that aside" signals a change or transition in topic. Here Polly is indicating that she has finished writing about the misuse of the suggestion box, and will now move on to another topic (cafeteria policy). "On a different note" suggests a similar transition.
This is not the best choice. "To summarize" suggests that a conclusion is coming, or that the next idea or passage will conclude the message. This expression is different from "all that aside", which indicates a change in topic.
This is not the best choice. The expression "all that aside" signals a change or transition in topic, not that one subject will be revisited later on.
This is not the best choice. "Furthermore" signals that more information concerning the same topic is forthcoming. For example, Polly might write "Furthermore, we will no longer tolerate the abuse of the suggestion box."

1 inform: This is the correct answer. "To inform" is a verb meaning "to give or provide information (to someone)" or "to make (someone) aware of something. In this case, you are informing the person who receives your letter that you want something from them: their help. You could also say, 'I hate to inform you of this, honey, but we are completely broke - we have no money at all, anymore".
2 respond: This is the correct answer. To "respond to" something is to "provide an answer to or thoughts about" that thing. You "respond to" a survey, or any other question or set of questions. You can also "respond to" an issue or concern. For example, "The way you respond to the topic of psychoanalysis makes me think you might be crazy".
3 rate: This is the correct answer. To "rate" something is to assign it a value. A person "rates" things (anything from perfume to socks to movies and more) "on a scale". In this case, on a (kind of ridiculous) "scale from one to ten thousand". For instance, you might want to rate your importance to the company you work for as a ten, on a scale from one to ten. Or else you might rate your contributions, as Luna rates Brian's, as "very good".
