1 correct: This is the right choice. "To relieve" is often used to describe lessening or easing physical pain. For example: "This new medical procedure has relieved all his symptoms". "Pills" are often given to people to relieve the pain!
1 incorrect: This sentence uses "relieve" correctly.
2 incorrect : This is the correct choice. We do not use "relieve" in this way. It would be better to say "not a single building was left standing" or "not a single building was spared". "To relieve" often means to free from pain, anxiety, or distress.
2 correct: This sentence uses "relieve" incorrectly.
3 incorrect: This is correct. We do not use "relieve" in this way. It would be better to say, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to transfer 500 pounds to my son's bank account". "To relieve" often means to free from pain, anxiety, or distress.
3 correct: This is incorrect. We cannot use "relieve" here.
4 correct: This is right. "To relieve" often means to free from pain, anxiety, or distress. In this example, somebody feels "relief" because their boss didn't open an email that was supposed to be for their girlfriend. I wonder what was in this email? Nasty comments about the boss? Or perhaps even worse! I'll leave it to your imagination..!
4 incorrect: This sentence uses "relieve" correctly.

Bruno never expresses his emotions regarding the mayor's invitation.
Bruno is relieved that Susie is available, but this is not why he says "That's what I like to hear".

Esercizio 4
"I would be very grateful if you could handle the interviews for me."
Replace the words written in bold with synonyms that best keep the meaning of the original sentence.
"I would be very if you could the interviews for me."
Replace the words written in bold with synonyms that best keep the meaning of the original sentence.
"I would be very if you could the interviews for me."
"I would be very grateful if you could handle the interviews for me."
Replace the words written in bold with synonyms that best keep the meaning of the original sentence.
"I would be very thankful 1 if you could take care of 2 the interviews for me."
Replace the words written in bold with synonyms that best keep the meaning of the original sentence.
"I would be very thankful 1 if you could take care of 2 the interviews for me."
1 thankful: GRATEFUL = THANKFUL = appreciative of a service rendered. "I would be GRATEFUL if..." is a common and polite way of asking someone to do something. Example: I would be GRATEFUL if you could move on to the next correction!
1 relieved: To RELIEVE is to remove pain or distress. Example: I was RELIEVED when the pregnancy test came back negative. Considering the urgency of situation, Luna will probably feel RELIEVED if Edward helps her. However, RELIEVED is not a synonym of GRATEFUL, therefore not the best choice here.
1 honored: To be GRATEFUL = to be appreciative of a service; to be HONORED = to be appreciative of a service that is HIGHLY valued or desirable. Example: We would be HONORED if the prime minister attended the dinner. Luna will not be HONORED if Edward conducts the interviews because she does not value his skills as an interviewer; Luna simply wants Edward to help her out in a difficult situation, for which she will be appreciative and thankful.
2 take care of: This is correct. In this context, HANDLE = TAKE CARE OF or "look after". If you TAKE CARE OF something, you take responsibility for it and make sure it is done. Example: I'll TAKE CARE OF responding to that customer complaint. Luna wants Edward to HANDLE or TAKE CARE OF the interviews, which means he will be responsible for interviewing the job candidates.
2 check up on: This is incorrect. To CHECK UP ON (something) means "to survey" or "to verify". Example: Can you CHECK UP ON my grandmother while I'm away in Russia? In the context of the email, to CHECK UP ON the interviews might mean occasionally verifying that the interviews were being conducted correctly; however, Luna wants Edward to play far more active role and actually conduct the interviews.
2 get rid of: This is incorrect. To GET RID OF means "to dispose of". Example: I'm having a garage sale to GET RID OF some unwanted Elkie Johns albums. In the context of the email, to GET RID OF the interviews would mean to cancel the interviews (though this would be a strange way to say it!). To GET RID OF is not a synonym of to HANDLE.
