"Xavier taught Bruno all that he knew about herbs, flowers, alcohols and chemicals."
"Taught" is the past tense form of the verb "to ".
Now let's conjugate this verb in a few sentences:
"Yesterday, my teacher me an important lesson on the merits of wearing pants".
"I English to prisoners for the last seven years".
"Taught" is the past tense form of the verb "to ".
Now let's conjugate this verb in a few sentences:
"Yesterday, my teacher me an important lesson on the merits of wearing pants".
"I English to prisoners for the last seven years".
"Xavier taught Bruno all that he knew about herbs, flowers, alcohols and chemicals."
"Taught" is the past tense form of the verb "to teach 1".
Now let's conjugate this verb in a few sentences:
"Yesterday, my teacher taught 2 me an important lesson on the merits of wearing pants".
"I have taught 3 English to prisoners for the last seven years".
"Taught" is the past tense form of the verb "to teach 1".
Now let's conjugate this verb in a few sentences:
"Yesterday, my teacher taught 2 me an important lesson on the merits of wearing pants".
"I have taught 3 English to prisoners for the last seven years".
1 teach: The verb "to teach" means "to instruct" or "give knowledge". The text explains that Bruno "learned the art of perfume making from his grandfather, Xavier". Note that a teacher "teaches" while a student "learns". The verb "to teach" is irregular: teach/taught/have taught.
2 taught: The simple past tense of the verb, "taught", should be used here. The term "yesterday" establishes a precise moment in the past, in which case the simple past tense of the verb is appropriate. The verb "to teach" is irregular: teach/taught/have taught.
3 have taught: "Have taught" is the present perfect form of the verb "to teach" (in the first person). We use the present perfect to describe actions which started in the past and continue into the present, OR to describe actions which finished at an unspecified time in the past (I have finished the report). Here, the phrase "for the last seven years" indicates that this action started in the past and continues into the present.

1 currently: "Currently" means "at present" or "right now". It is the best choice in this sentence and a term often found in automatic reply messages.
1 actually: This is not the best choice. "Actually" means "in reality" or "in fact". The term doesn't indicate the present time.
1 soon: Using "soon" in this sentence is grammatically incorrect. The future tense would be more appropriate for using soon ("I will be away soon"), but even this sentence is not likely to be used in a professional automatic reply email.
2 limited: "Limited" is the best choice here to describe "infrequent" or "occasional" consulting of emails. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
2 sometime: "Sometime access to emails" is a very unnatural phrase which shouldn't be used in this context, or any other. We might say, "I will be checking my email sometimes", however this sentence doesn't express the same idea of having limited access.
2 rare: Although the term "rare" indicates something "infrequent", or "occasional", the term shouldn't be used in this context. "Rare" is generally used to describe something such as a painting or animal which is hard to find!
3 returning: "Returning" is the best choice for this sentence. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
3 making my comeback: This sentence should never be used in an automatic reply message. The expression "a comeback" is generally reserved for people or objects that are making a resurgence, or regaining popularity after a period of unpopularity or failure. For example: "Vinyl records made a comeback in the late 90's" or "Mickey Rourke made a comeback after years of obscurity".
3 going back: "Going back" shouldn't be used in this sentence. "To go" expresses sense of traveling somewhere for the first time, and "going back" is an awkward expression to use in this type of professional email.
4 on: "On" is the correct preposition to use here. When speaking about specific dates, we use the preposition "on" to precede the date. Example: On March 14th, on the third of May.
4 in: "In" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "In" can precede larger periods. Example: In May, In 2007, In two weeks.
4 at: "At" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "At" can be used in prepositional phrases to describe more vague periods: At the end of the week, At the start of the month.
5 reached: "Reached" is the best choice here. "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting by telephone". "You can reach me..." is a common phrase found in this type of message.
5 joined: The term "joined" is not used to describe "reaching" or "contacting" someone by telephone or email. The term is generally used to describe physically meeting with someone. For example: Please join us at the restaurant at 7:00. "Join" can also be figuratively when inviting someone to watch or listen to a program: "Please join us tomorrow on the Rich Morning Show!"
5 touched: The verb "touched" is not used to describe contacting someone by telephone or email. The term is used literally to describe physical contact, or figuratively to describe a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction: I was touched by his wonderful letter.
6 please: "Please" is the best choice here in order to form a polite request.
6 thanks to: "Thanks to" cannot be used in this sentence. We use this expression to indicate a cause or reason: "Thanks to your help, we signed the contract".

1 smell: This is correct. "To sniff (a flower)" is to smell a flower, more specifically it is breathe air in through your nose in a way that makes a sound. In this broadcast, Moira and Brent discuss a pig that sniffs "truffles", or finds them by smelling for them.
1 taste: This is incorrect. To "sniff" and to "taste" have different meanings. To "taste (a steak)" is to try it by ingesting or eating part of it.
1 touch: This is incorrect. To "sniff" and to "touch" have different meanings. To "touch (a button)" is to "feel" it, or to make contact with it, using your hand or another body part.
2 a look: This is the best choice. The verb "to peek" means to look, often briefly or for a short period of time. As a noun, a "peek" refers to a quick look or glance at something. When Moira says that Enriqué will give us "a peek" at the world of sports, she means that he will tell us briefly, or give us an update on the world of sports.
2 an opinion: This is incorrect. An "opinion" and a "peek" are unrelated. An "opinion" refers to a point of view or perspective. For example: Brent's views on illegal immigration are very extreme; he believes that all illegals should be deported to Canada.
2 the apex or climax: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "a peak", which can refer to the top or apex of something, with a "peek", which refers to a short look or glance.
3 review: This is the best choice here. To "recap" (or re-cap) means to "go over" or "review" something (a topic, a subject, etc.) "Recap" is an abbreviation of the verb "to recapitulate", but it is frequently used as an abbreviation. Moira wants to summarize or review the topic of discussion mentioned earlier in this broadcast.
3 highlight: This is incorrect. "To highlight (the important points)" is to draw attention or emphasize them. For example: "I'd like to highlight the fact that we lost a billion dollars last month".
3 resume: This is incorrect. To "resume (working after a break)" describes continuing or restarting an action after a pause or interruption. For example: "I resumed work after my pregnancy".
4 ridicule: "Ridicule" is the best choice here. To "mock" someone is to "ridicule" or "make fun of" them, often by imitating them. Example: "Everyone mocks Dorian because of his gigantic ears".
4 kick: To "kick" someone is to "hit" or "strike" them with the foot. This is unrelated in meaning to the term "to mock".
4 befriend: This is incorrect. To "befriend (an elephant)" is to "make friends" with them, to become close to them or get to know them. This is unrelated to the term "to mock".
5 consecutively: This is the best choice here. The expression "in a row" shares a similar meaning with "consecutively", or "successively" in this context. In this broadcast, Enriqué mentions that Paris St. Germain has lost several matches "in a row", or "consecutively". Another example: "I've answered the phone ten times in a row. It's your turn to pick up now".
5 in a short period: This is incorrect. The expression "in a row" doesn't mean in a short period, but rather "consecutively" or "successively".
5 against quality opponents: This is incorrect. The expression "in a row" doesn't refer to the quality or strength of an opponent, but rather describes a series of "consecutive" or "successive" events.
