Which team was expected to win the football match between Togo and Ireland?
Which team was expected to win the football match between Togo and Ireland?
Togo was NOT expected to win this match. This is one of the reasons for the celebration in the streets of Togo.
Brent reports that the Irish side was "heavily favored" to win the match against Togo. In the context of sports, a "side" is one team. If a team is "heavily favored", they are the favorites, or people expect or anticipate that they will win.

This statement is true. Horatio tells Bruno "I do PhD" (He should say "I am doing a PhD) at San Francisco University. A 'PhD" or a doctorate of philosophy is an advanced specialty degree (or diploma) which generally requires 3 or 4 years of study after a masters degree.
This is a true statement. In this scene, Horatio surprises Bruno by telling him about two Jack Kerouac novels, then tells him that he is pursuing a PhD in literature. Bruno is surprised by this news; he wasn't "expecting" or "anticipating" it.
This statement is not true. Horatio actually admits to Bruno that he reads books. The "smelling" of the books is apparently just a joke. Very funny, Horatio!

This statement is true. Susie writes that she will "attend" the award ceremony in Los Angeles as Delavigne's PR representative. To "attend (an event)" is to be present at it.
This statement is not true. A Delavigne perfume (Adonis for men) has been "nominated" or "selected" from a group of perfumes and MAY win an award. "To nominate (a person for an award)" is to propose or name them as a candidate for an award. Example: Bruno was nominated as a candidate for CEO of the year, though he did not win.
This statement is true. Susie writes that she has heard rumours that a Delavigne perfume "is the favorite" to win a Smelly award. If a football team "is the favourite" to win a match, then the team is "expected" or "favoured" to win the match. Example: President Borat Wobama is the favorite to win the Nobel Peace Prize. To "expect something to happen" is to anticipate or presume it is going to happen. Example: The sky is full of clouds, I expect it will rain.

This statement is false. Bob writes that that he spoke to a representative "last week", and that he expected a shipment within "48 hours", or two days.
This statement is true. Bob writes: "I was hoping you could help me track a shipment". To "track" a shipment, is to "find", "locate" or check the status of the shipment. This is the reason that Bob is chatting with the technical support person.
This is incorrect. There's no indication of this at all! Really!
This statement is true. Bob is unable, or "can't" provide any of the numbers that Stephen asks him for. These include his "case number", his "shipping retrieval number", "product specification number", etc.
