Luna tells Philip that he will not be "promoted, dismissed or transferred". Define these terms!

To be "transferred" is to be: relocated 3
To be "promoted" is to be: given a higher position 1

1 given a higher position: This is the right answer. To be "promoted" is to be offered a better job, or a higher position within a company. Example: "I've just been promoted to the position of regional manager! Let's get a bottle of champagne!".
1 relocated: If someone is "relocated", they are "transferred": for example, they are moved to a different department or a different office. This is not the right answer here.
1 fired: To be "dismissed" is to be "fired" or "given the sack": it is what happens when you lose your job. This is very different from being "promoted"!
2 fired: This is the best choice here. To be "dismissed" is to be "fired" or "given the sack": it is what happens when you lose your job. Example: "I was dismissed from my job in the bank because I'm a kleptomaniac".
2 relocated: If someone is "relocated", they are "transferred": for example, they are moved to a different department or a different office. This is not the right answer here.
2 given a higher position: To be offered a higher position within a company is to be "promoted". This is very different from being "dismissed"!
3 relocated: This is the right choice. If someone is "transferred", they are "relocated": for example, they are moved to a different department or a different office. Another example: "I've asked my boss if I could be transferred to our Paris office: I've always dreamed of living in France".
3 given a higher position: To be offered a higher position within a company is to be "promoted". This is not the best choice here.
3 fired: To be "fired" is to be "dismissed" or to "lose one's job". This is not the best choice here.

1 poor: Job "performance" is a measure or evaluation of how well an employee executes their work. "Poor performance" is work of inferior quality. Note: In English, the term "poor" is not too strong - it is commonly used to describe things that are inferior. Example: He is a poor cook (=his food is not very good).
2 punctual: If someone is "punctual", they arrive on time. Example: Brian Jones arrives at the office at 6.29am every day - he is very punctual. Philip is complaining that Doris is no longer "punctual". He could also say, "Doris's "punctuality" is poor", or that she is often late.
3 efficient: An efficient person is productive, or works quickly with a minimum of time lost. Example: Sandra is very efficient - she completes her tasks well without wasting any time. Philip thinks that Doris used to be efficient, but now she is inefficient!
4 talented: If someone is "talented", they have natural skill or ability. Example: Elkie Johns is a very talented musician and lover. Philip thinks that Doris used to be a "talented maker of coffee", which means she had a talent or skill for making coffee. Personally, I am a talented drinker of coffee!
5 overweight: An overweight person weighs more than is considered healthy or normal - they are sometimes called "obese", "heavy" or "fat" (impolite). Example: Since I stopped exercising, I have become overweight. Philip thinks that Doris is a "little bit overweight".
6 mind: The "mind" is the part of your head that thinks! If your "mind is not on the job" it means your thoughts or attention are not focused on what you are doing. You are distracted. Example: Her mind hasn't been on the job since her dog died.
7 highlighted: If something is "highlighted" it is emphasized or made prominent. Example: The rise in violent crime "highlights" the need for more police on the street. Philip thinks that Doris's "mix-up" (where she sent him the wrong file for his sales talk) highlights or underlines the fact that she is not doing her job correctly.
8 dismissed: To be "dismissed" is to be "fired", "terminated" or "to lose your job". Philip thinks that Doris deserves to lose her job for her poor job performance.
Exercício 3
Philip would like his secretary to be .
Philip would like his secretary to be fired.
fired: This is correct. In the letter, Philip says, "it is with regret that I recommend she be dismissed as soon as possible". To be "dismissed" is to be "fired" or "to lose your job". Note, Philip's statement, "I recommend she be dismissed" (not "I recommend she is dismissed"), is an example of the infrequently used subjunctive tense. The subjunctive present is generally reserved for statements of insistence, demand or necessity. Example: I demand that he BE fired immediately.
punished : "To be punished" is "to be disciplined" for an action considered to be wrong. In this context, a punishment might be a reduction of financial bonuses, or perhaps a demotion to a more junior position. The term "punished" is not a synonym of "dismissed".
promoted: "To be promoted" is to given a better job in the same company. Example: Philip dreams of being PROMOTED to CEO of the Delavigne Corporation. The term "promoted" is not a synonym of "dismissed".
suspended: In this context, "to be suspended" would mean a temporary pause or exclusion from working. Example: After touching yet another female intern, Philip Cheeter was SUSPENDED without pay for 15 days. The term "suspended" is not a synonym of "dismissed".

1 dismisses: This is correct. To "dismiss" somebody (from their job) is to "fire" someone or terminate their employment so that they lose their job. Example: I was DISMISSED from my job in the bank because I was allergic to money. We can imagine that an "Automated Firing System" is some sort of machine that "fires" workers.
1 promotes: This is incorrect. To "promote" someone is to offer someone a better job, or a higher position within a company. Example: I've just been PROMOTED to the position of regional manager! Let's get drunk!
1 transfers: This is incorrect. To "transfer" an employee is to "relocate" them: for example, they are moved to a different department or a different office. Another example: "I've asked my boss if I could be TRANSFERRED to our Paris office: I've always dreamed of living in France".
2 save: This is correct. "To save time" is a common idiom that means "to economize time", "to take less time than normal" or "to avoid wasting time". Example: We took a taxi to the airport to SAVE TIME. Luna is hoping that the "Automated Firing System" will "save time" because a machine that automatically fires people will be quicker and more efficient than firing workers herself.
2 win: This is incorrect. In English, we do not say "to win time" to mean "to economize time".
2 make: This is incorrect. In English, we do not say "to make time" to mean "to economize time".
3 hurt: This is correct. A person's "feelings" are their emotions, therefore "to hurt (someone's) feelings" is to offend them or make them upset. Example: His comments about my big nose really HURT MY FEELINGS. Luna hopes that the "Automated Firing System" will avoid "hurt feelings" (=avoid making people upset), though she admits that she is "mainly" (=primarily) concerned about sparing her own feelings!
3 damaged: This is incorrect. "To damage" is to physically harm something so that it becomes less useful or valuable. Example: The house was badly DAMAGED in the fire. It is not possible "to damage (someone's) feelings".
3 broken: This is incorrect. We generally can't call feelings "broken" in English, although we can describe a person as "broken" if they are experiencing severe sadness or grief. More generally, we use "broken" to describe an object which is cracked, shattered or no longer works. For example: This glass is broken. We should throw it away.
