True or False? Luna ate Kwik-e-Market's vegetable soup for her lunch.

True or False? Luna ate Kwik-e-Market's vegetable soup for her lunch.
This is not a true statement: Luna "purchased" (bought) the soup, but did not eat it.
This is a false statement. Luna writes "As a vegetarian, I was unable to eat your "vegetable" soup". If you are "unable" to do something, then you "cannot" do it, or are "incapable" of doing it. This means that Luna did not eat Kwik-e-Market's vegetable soup for her lunch. "Ate" is the simple past form of the verb "to eat": eat/ate/eaten.

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.
