Esercizio 1
The support representative wants Bob , so that he can .
The support representative wants Bob not to connect to the network for 15 or 20 minutes 1, so that he can perform a test to analyze the server 2.
1 not to connect to the network for 15 or 20 minutes: This is a true statement. Rajard asks Bob to not connect to the network for fifteen or twenty minutes. He doesn't want Bob to connect while he is performing his tests.
1 to connect to the network in 15 or 20 minutes : Rajard doesn't want Bob to connect while he is performing his tests. In fifteen minutes.
1 to connect to the network for 15 or 20 minutes: The techie doesn't want Bob to connect while he is performing his tests. For fifteen minutes.
2 perform a test to analyze the server: This is the correct answer. The techie wants to "run a diagnostic report", which means that he wants to do some tests to analyze the server.
2 write up a report about the network: This is incorrect. The techie is going to "run a diagnostic report". This means that he is going to use his computer to perform tests, and not write a report himself.
2 run a few kilometers around the server: "To run a test" means "to perform" or "administer" a test. It has nothing to do with the literal meaning of the verb "to run".
2 send a technician to Delavigne: This is incorrect. The techie wants to "run a diagnostic report", which does not involve sending a technician.

This is a true statement. Ruby says in her message that she "runs a specialty bookshop". The verb "to run" is used here to indicate that Ruby manages, directs or even owns the bookshop (or bookstore).
This statement is true. Ruby says that her hobbies include "wining and dining". This expression describes Ruby's interest in eating at nice restaurants and drinking good quality wines. The expression is comprised of the gerundive (ING) forms of the verbs "to wine" (rarely used as a verb) and "to dine" (meaning to eat dinner). Although this expression doesn't explicitly refer to eating and drinking in restaurants, it generally does refer to eating outside of one's home. Note that the expression can also be used in the active sense: Bruno wined and dined the prospective client to encourage her to sign the contract.
Abra Cadabra everybody! This answer is wrong.
There is nothing in this message which indicates that Ruby enjoys running or jogging. Ruby mentions that she "runs a specialty bookstore", meaning that she manages or supervises it. The verb "to run" isn't being used to describe the physical act of jogging or exercising in this context.
In this message, Ruby introduces herself and describes her interests and hobbies. She asks Icarus to email her, but she never makes a date (or appointment) to meet Icarus.
Ruby says that she "used to be in the film industry", meaning that in the past, she worked in the film industry (as an actress, producer or director- it is unspecified). Ruby is explaining her former profession and not stating that she no longer enjoys the cinema or films.

The verb "to run" can be used in several different contexts. From the list below, select the sentences which use the term "to run" correctly.
The verb "to run" is used correctly here. The expression "to be running late" means to be "behind schedule" or "delayed". Example: "I'm running late, but please don't start eating without me!".
This is a correct use of the verb "to run". The expression "to run a risk" means "to take a chance", or "to do something dangerous". In this example, "loaning" or "lending" the car to Ben was the dangerous act, which could have had serious consequences! Note that the verb "to run" is irregular: run/ran/run.
This use of the verb "to run" is correct. To "run a company/business" is to "direct" or "lead" it. This is what Bruno does at Delavigne Corp., although apparently someone doesn't agree with his leadership! Example: "Bruno runs this company awfully!".
This sentence uses the verb "to run" correctly. "To run something by someone" is to "show" it to them for their opinions or approval. Example: "I will run my proposal by the rest of the team, to see if they have any suggestions to make".
This is the only incorrect use of the verb "to run". A noise cannot "run". When we want to say that information is travelling, we say "there is a rumour that (Philip has a girlfriend)" or "the word on the street is that (Philip has a girlfriend)".

Choose the best word from the Good Day USA CD to fit each blank in the dialogue below.
Rachel: Have you been to the new amusement park? I hear they have some pretty rides, so if you like to live dangerously, you should check it out.
Mark: I heard the roller coaster is guaranteed to make you vomit. The amusement park must be sadistic Republicans.
Rachel: Hey! You shouldn't make fun of political views. Republicans are no .

Choose the best word from the Good Day USA CD to fit each blank in the dialogue below.
Rachel: Have you been to the new amusement park? I hear they have some pretty wild 1 rides, so if you like to live dangerously, you should check it out.
Mark: I heard the roller coaster is guaranteed to make you vomit. The amusement park must be run by 2 sadistic Republicans.
Rachel: Hey! You shouldn't make fun of political views. Republicans are no laughing matter 3.
Rachel: Have you been to the new amusement park? I hear they have some pretty wild 1 rides, so if you like to live dangerously, you should check it out.
Mark: I heard the roller coaster is guaranteed to make you vomit. The amusement park must be run by 2 sadistic Republicans.
Rachel: Hey! You shouldn't make fun of political views. Republicans are no laughing matter 3.
1 wild: This is the best choice. "Wild ride" is a common expression in English, meaning a particularly fun and stimulating experience, with just a hint of danger. It can very well be applied to amusement park attractions, such as roller coasters.
1 anarchist: This word wouldn't fit well here. "Anarchist" can be used to mean "lawless or without rules", but it generally refers to people or organizations, rather than things such as amusement part rides.
1 delicate: This word doesn't fit well here. A ride in an amusement park is generally sturdy and sensational; "delicate" means "fragile or sensitive".
2 run by: This choice is correct. If something, such as a business, is "run by" someone, such as Bruno Delavigne, then it is "directed by" or "controlled by" this person. Example: "This factory is run by Mrs Lee: she's the Factory Manager."
2 offending: This choice doesn't make sense here. An amusement park would not be likely to offend anyone. Moreover, this choice is grammatically incorrect in this sentence.
2 viewed by: Many people can view, or observe, an amusement park, but those onlookers would not be responsible for the park's operation. We need a choice that indicates who is responsible for the park.
3 laughing matter: This is the correct choice here. Mark, like many Americans, is offended by jokes directed against a political party. If we say that something is "no laughing matter", we mean that it should be taken seriously, not lightly.
3 social situations: No, this choice wouldn't make sense.
3 topic of conversation: This is not what Clyde is trying to say. He doesn't necessarily object to talking about Republicans, but he is against making fun of them.

1 Operating expenses: This is the best choice here. "Operating expenses" (also called "OPEX" and operating costs) refer to the cost, price or expense of running or operating a business, generally calculated on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. Note that operating expenses do NOT take into account taxes and interest, but do include costs such as salaries, rent, utilities, etc.
1 Working capital: This is not the best choice. "Working capital" refers to the available cash a business has for its daily operations. It is unrelated to the cost of its operations.
1 Cash surplus: This is not the best choice. "A surplus" refers to an "excess" of something, in this case, money. A cash surplus is unrelated to the operating expenses of a company, which describes its costs, excluding tax and interest.
2 Working capital: This is the best choice here. "Working capital" refers to the available cash a business has for its daily operations. "Working capital" is commonly in the form of cash and current (short-term) assets, available to a company for use in the production of further assets. "Available" means "ready to use" or "spend" in this context.
2 Cash surplus: This is not the best choice. "A surplus" refers to an "excess" of something, in this case, money. A cash surplus is unrelated to the working capital of a company.
2 Operating expenses: This is not the best choice. "Operating expenses", refer to the cost, price or expense of running or operating a business, not to the working capital of a company, which describes its available cash for daily operation.
3 Cash surplus: This is the correct choice. "A surplus" refers to an "excess" of something, in this case, money. A cash surplus describes an amount of available (ready to use) cash or assets which are unneeded for the daily operating costs of a company. Icarus has found 1.2 million dollars of available cash and is now explaining to Bruno how he wants to use this money.
3 Operating expenses: This is not the best choice. "Operating expenses" refer to the cost, price or expense of running or operating a business, however the term is unrelated to a "cash surplus", which describes an "excess" amount of cash.
3 Working capital: This is not the best choice. "Working capital" refers to the available cash a business has for its daily operations, however the term is unrelated to a "cash surplus", which describes an "excess" amount of cash.
