I don't know

Choose the TRUE statement from the list below.

Brent does physical exercise on a regular basis.

This statement is false. When Moira asks Brent if he exercises, he responds by saying, "I play chess...sometimes...on my computer". Chess is a game played on a board with light and dark squares with pieces like kings and queens. Playing chess may exercise the brain, but it does not exercise the body, especially when played on the computer. Brent does not do physical exercise on a regular basis.

Brent's father was a big fan of Radio Rhubarb.

This statement is false. There is no indication that Brent's father was a fan of Radio Rhubarb Brent, says his father "was a huge fan of red wine". Brent's father was a big fan of wine, not of Radio Rhubarb. A fan is an admirer, supporter or advocate of something (a sports team, a person, a type of food or drink).

Brent's father lived a long life despite drinking a lot of wine.

This statement is false. Brent tells Moira that his father used to drink wine "for lunch and dinner, sometimes even breakfast" which does indicate that he drank regularly. However Brent goes on to say that his father "died of a heart attack at the age of 48". Brent's father did not live a long life, nor was he particularly healthy!

Moira goes for a daily run.

This is a true statement. Moira tells Brent that she "jogs three miles every morning". The words "jog" and "run" are synonymous. Three miles is just less than five kilometres. Moira does indeed run every morning.
