1 acknowledgement: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. On its own the term "acknowledgement" describes the confirmation of something (an email or letter for example).
2 receipt: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. Note that in a different context a receipt can also describe proof or documentation of a purchase.
3 balance: The "balance" of a sum of money is what remains after part of it has been deducted or paid. For example: I had 100 dollars in my account. After buying a 20 dollar book, the remaining balance of the account is 80 dollars. In Cheryl's order, it is specified that the remaining balance (of the total amount owed to the Delavigne Corporation) will be paid within 30 days of the delivery date of the merchandise.
4 working: A "working" (or "business") day is any day of the week in which people normally work. In the United States, these days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. If a package is supposed to arrive in 10 business days, then it may take 14 days to actually arrive, as weekends aren't counted in the time of delivery.
5 billing address: A "billing address" is the address to which a bill or demand of payment will be sent. It may be a home or business. We distinguish "shipping addresses" and "billing addresses" because companies often have separate account and billing offices which manage payments and sales as opposed to shipping addresses (which might be warehouses for example). In Cheryl's order, the billing address is in Palo Alto, California.
6 null: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
7 void: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
8 delivery: A "delivery" date is the date upon which a "shipment" arrives (by air, ground or sea) at its destination. In Cheryl's letter she specifies a delivery date (October 31st) by which time she wants to receive the merchandise purchased from the Delavigne Corporation. Although Cheryl might not specify the "shipping date" (the day the items will be sent or "shipped" out), she is likely to specify the day she expects to receive the shipment from Delavigne. The conditions of payment also specify that Sheik Jafar will send one installment on the delivery date and the final payment within 30 days of the delivery.

1 within: "Within" is the correct term here. "Within" shares a similar meaning with "in" or "inside". To do something "within four days" is to do it in "under four days".
2 four: "Four" is the correct term here. Bethany says that the matter should be "resolved within four working days".
3 business: "Business" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
4 days: "Days" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
5 commence: "Commence" is the correct term here. Bethany says that Philip's company may "commence legal proceedings". To "commence" shares a similar meaning with to "begin" or to "start".
6 legal: "Legal" is the correct term here. "Legal" is an adjective derived from the term "law". "Legal proceedings" refer to action taken in a court of law.
7 proceedings: "Proceedings" is the correct term here. The term "proceedings" refers to a particular "course of action" or "measure". Here, Bethany is talking about "legal proceedings", which refers to "legal action", such as a court case to recover the money owed to the Delavigne Corporation.
8 recover: "Recover" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "to recover" means "to get back" or "to regain". Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money".
9 debt: "Debt" is the correct term here. A "debt" is something (usually money) owed to someone. Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money". Example: "I have a huge debt because I went to University".
10 further: "Further" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "further" shares a similar meaning with "more" or "additional". Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given, meaning that no additional warning will be given to the client before legal action is taken against them.
11 notice: "Notice" is the correct term here. The term "notice" shares a similar meaning with "warning" in this context. Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given to the client if payment is not remitted immediately. Example: "You must give me advance notice when you want to borrow my clothes".
12 court: "Court" is the correct term here. A "court (of law)" is the place where, among other things, trials take place to judge whether people are guilty or innocent of crimes. To "tender (a letter) in court" is to use or present it as "evidence" or "proof".
13 evidence: "Evidence" is the correct term here. The term "evidence" shares a similar meaning with "proof". It is often used in a legal context.
14 failure: "Failure" is the correct term here. A "failure (to do something)" describes an "omission" or "lack" of action. Example: "You failed to reply in time, so the offer is no longer valid". In another context, a "failure" is the opposite of a "success".
15 attempt: "Attempt" is the correct term here. "To attempt" shares a similar meaning with "to try" or "to make an effort". Here, Bethany says that the client has failed "to attempt settlement", meaning that the client hasn't tried to pay the Delavigne Corp the money they owe.
16 settlement: "Settlement" is the correct term here. In this context, a "settlement" is an "arrangement" or "satisfaction of a demand". Here, it refers to the payment of a sum of money.

This is a true statement. The invoice lists "Austrian Edelweiss Extract" and "African Honey-Bee Thorax". Something described as "Austrian" comes from Austria, a German-speaking country in Central Europe. "African" bees come from Africa.
This statement is true. The invoice states that "a signature is required upon delivery". To "sign for" an item is to write your name on a piece of paper as confirmation that the item has been delivered. A "signature" is an "autograph". Example: "I've been practising my new signature for after I'm married".
This is the only false statement. The disclaimer states that the company can make "no guarantee that your application for refund will be accepted".
This is a true statement. We read that "No claims for compensation can be made after three working days". This means that customers must make their request for compensation in under three working days. "Working days" are the days when most businesses operate: Monday to Friday, usually.

1 noon: "Noon" is the best choice. "Noon" means "midday" or "12 o'clock" or 12.00 PM.
2 on hold: "On hold" is the right answer. To be "on hold" means to be "waiting on the line". In customer services we can often ask customers to "hold the line" if we are dealing with an enquiry or putting them through to someone else who can answer their questions.
3 shipped: "Shipped" is the term we were looking for. When an order is "shipped" it is "sent" to the customer. "Shipped" is usually used in the context of sending an order to foreign customers living abroad. However, things can also be shipped within one country, and they may not take a "ship" or "boat" at all! Example: "Shipping for this order within the US costs $6".
4 business days: "Business days" is the right answer. "Business days" are the days of the week we work. In many countries, this means Monday to Friday. We also refer to these days as "working days" or "the working week".
