1 Photos of Ivana Bümbüm taking drugs have appeared: This is the right answer. Bruno has called an emergency meeting because, as he says, "Ivana BümBüm, the model who appears in our TV commercials... has been photographed taking cocaine."
1 Ivana Bümbüm did not appear at a photo shoot: This is not the subject of the meeting or the problem that Bruno wants to discuss.
1 Ivana Bümbüm has left her position as Delavigne Corp's spokesperson: This is not the subject of the meeting or the problem that Bruno wants to discuss.
1 Ivana Bümbüm is ill in hospital: This is not the subject of the meeting or the problem that Bruno wants to discuss.
2 Ignore the problem: This is the right answer. Brian proposes to do nothing about the Bümbüm scandal, thinking that they should have a cup of tea instead. Brian thinks that "the press will soon lose interest in this story."
2 Release the story to the press: This is incorrect. Brian doesn't want to release (or "leak") the story to the press. The story has already appeared in the media.
2 End Ivana Bümbüm's contract: This is what Hannah proposes, not Brian.
2 Get some drugs at one of Elkie John's parties: Nice guess, but Brian doesn't want to get (or "score") some drugs at one of Elkie John's parties. Do you?
3 Publicly condemn Ivana Bümbüm and end her contract: This is the right answer. Hannah proposes to "terminate Ivana's contract immediately, and make a public statement deploring her behavior". To "terminate" a contract is to end or stop it. To "deplore (one's behavior)" is to condemn one's actions or conduct.
3 Take no action: This is what Brian proposes.
3 Increase Ivana Bümbüm's salary: Hannah doesn't mention Ivana Bümbüm's salary.
3 Pay for an advertising campaign to repair Delavigne's reputation: Although Hannah is concerned about Delavigne's reputation, she does not propose an advertising campaign to restore its reputation.
4 Repair the meeting room lights: The electrician says that he is in the meeting room to "fix the lights"; unfortunately, he doesn't offer an opinion about the Ivana Bümbüm scandal. To fix (a problem) is to mend or correct it. With their knowledge of electricity and circuitry, electricians could probably fix the world.
4 Send Ivana Bümbüm to the electric chair: It's a little radical, and it's also the wrong answer.
4 Replace Ivana Bümbüm and become the new face of Delavigne: Unfortunately we don't know what ambitions the electrician has, he seems to be more interested in fixing the meeting room lights.
4 Put Ivana Bümbüm in the spotlight: This is not what the electrician says. A "spotlight" is a strong and bright beam or ray of light focused on a small area. "Spotlights" are often used for theatre performances, illuminating the actors on the stage during the performance.
5 Wait until Susie makes a useful suggestion: This is the correct answer. Bruno says "Nobody has any original ideas! None of you is Susie!" Because the others present at the meeting have contributed no pertinent ideas, Bruno proposes to wait for Susie.
5 Ask Ivana Bümbüm for an original idea: This is not the solution that Bruno proposes.
5 Ask Susie to be the new face of Delavigne: This is not the solution that Bruno proposes.
5 Run away in the quickest possible time: This is not how Bruno approaches a problem, he's certainly not a quitter.

"Let's fix that situation right away."
This can also be expressed as: "Let's that situation ."
This can also be expressed as: "Let's that situation ."
"Let's fix that situation right away."
This can also be expressed as: "Let's rectify 1 that situation immediately 2."
This can also be expressed as: "Let's rectify 1 that situation immediately 2."
1 rectify: This is the correct answer. "To fix (a problem)" is to rectify or repair a problem. Edward says that there hasn't been any reggae music, and his Jamaican companion says that they will "fix that situation", meaning they will correct that situation. Note: "To fix (a date)" is to "set" a date for an event, or "to decide on a certain day". Example: "We haven't fixed the time of the meeting yet".
1 arrange: This is incorrect. "Although "to fix" sometimes can share a similar meaning with 'to arrange", in this context the terms are not synonymous.
1 end: This is incorrect. "To end" and "to fix" are not synonymous terms.
1 change: This is incorrect. "To change" and "to fix" are not synonymous terms.
2 immediately: This is correct. "(To do something) right away" is to do it "without delay", "immediately", or "promptly". Edward's Jamaican companion wants to sing reggae music immediately. Another example: Edward, stop sleeping! I want you to photocopy this right away!
2 actually: This is incorrect. "Actually" shares a similar meaning with "in fact" or "in reality".
2 properly: This is incorrect. "Properly" and "right away" don't express the same meaning. "(To do something) properly" is to do it well, or correctly.
2 correctly: This is incorrect. "Correctly" and "right away" don't express the same meaning. "(To do something) correctly" is to do it "properly", "accurately" or "without errors".

Below are extracts from the audio you just heard. Find the expressions that could replace them without changing the meaning.
Why do you treat me so mean? --> Why are you so horrible to me? 1

Why do you treat me so mean? --> Why are you so horrible to me? 1
I demand you to comply! --> You must do what I tell you! 2
You fixed the machine! --> You repaired the machine! 3
1 Why are you so horrible to me?: In this context, "to treat" is to behave toward someone in a certain way. Example: The banker always treats the rich clients very well. To be "mean" is to be "nasty", "offensive" or "horrible". Example: Philip Cheeter is mean to his girlfriends in order to keep them interested!
1 Why don't we understand each other?: This isn't the best choice here!
1 Why don't you tell me what you really think?: This sentence might be replaced by a different use of the term "mean": "Why don't you tell me what you really mean"? Here, "What do you mean?" = "What do you intend to say?".
2 You must do what I tell you!: "To comply" is "to obey", "follow the rules" or "to conform". Example: We no longer sell this rubber doll because it doesn't comply with USA toy safety standards. "I demand you to comply" means "I insist that you obey" or "You must do what I tell you"!
2 You must apologize!: "To comply" is not "to apologize" or "say sorry".
2 You must be nice!: "To comply" is not to "be nice".
3 You repaired the machine!: "To fix" is "to repair" or "make a broken (machine) work again". Example: My Aunty Jane is very good at fixing motorbikes.
3 You attached the machine to the wall!: It is possible to fix something to a wall, meaning that it becomes more or less permanently attached. However, in English, we need to include the surface the object has been attached to. Example: I fixed the picture to the wall. "I fixed the picture" (on its own) means "I repaired the picture".
3 You made the machine really angry!: "To annoy" is "to irritate" or "make someone slightly angry". "To annoy" is not a synonym of "to fix".
