At the end of her email, Polly writes "let me know how it goes". She wants to know how Susie's review went, or she wants feedback about the review. Polly also mentions that she might be next, meaning that she is worried about her own review with Miss Stake.
Polly writes to Susie that Miss Stake "mentioned that your frequent business trips are a source of concern for her" which indicates that Miss Stake has some concerns about Susie's travel schedule and that she is "troubled by the amount of traveling that Susie does".
Polly does not write that Miss Stake will be "training" anyone. Miss Stake will "create detailed reports of each employee's efficiency," and "compile a comprehensive study of general effectiveness". Miss Stake is reviewing the Delavigne staff and analyzing their efficiency. She is not "training" them.
Bruno has hired Miss Stake as a "gesture of good faith" towards the investors, which is a way of showing that he is listening to their concerns and respects them. However, there is no indication that Bruno himself is concerned with their lack of productivity. Bruno's expression actually indicates that he isn't concerned with his staff's efficiency, but that he has approved the review just because he wants to show the investors that he is listening. A "lack" of something is a shortage, deficiency or absence.

This is correct. Brian says that Loman's have the "cheapest rates". In a business context, "rate" is generally synonymous with "cost" or "price", but strictly speaking it is a fixed charge per quantity or per unit. Example: The rates of my snowboarding lessons are 50 dollars an hour.
This is incorrect. Brian says that Benjamin "has been in the business for the past 20 years", so he has a lot of experience in the travel sector. To "lack (experience)" is to be without experience, or to have an "insufficient" amount of experience.
This is incorrect. There is no information that suggests this in Brian's email. Brian writes that Loman's Travel Agency is independent, which indicates that it is NOT affiliated with a specific airline company.
This is incorrect. The purpose of Brian's email is to tell Bruno that he has found a suitable travel agency from the "several" that he has contacted, as he says "I think we have our winner". This means that he has one recommendation, not several. Brian also lists "the key advantages of Loman's, the company I recommend that we choose" meaning that Loman's is the one agency that he thinks is suitable for Bruno's needs.

True or false?
Brian and Icarus have some wine to give to Bruno.
Brian and Icarus have some wine to give to Bruno.
This statement is not true.
This statement is false. Brian wanted to bring some wine back from the Napa Valley for Bruno, but something bad happened to the wine during the journey back to San Francisco. Brian says that the wine they bought "it didn't survive the journey back to San Francisco". He has also given Bruno some chocolates to say "sorry" because there is no wine! A "lack" of something means that there is none of this thing: a "lack of wine" means that there is no wine!

1 bank balance: "Bank balance" is the right answer here. One's "bank balance" is the amount of money one has in a bank account. The phrase can be used figuratively to describe someone's financial situation. Example: "Finding a new job as a night watchman has helped my bank balance".
2 lack: "Lack" is the best choice to complete this sentence. If there is "a lack of (information)", it means there is a "deficiency" of information, or not enough information. Note that there is a related verb: "to lack", which means that you do not have something you need. Example: "The third world lacks food, while the rich are getting fatter. A lack of fair food distribution is part of the problem".
3 worst: "Worst" is the correct answer here. "Worst" is the superlative of "bad": bad/worse/worst. An example: "Hannah is a bad singer, Wendy is worse, but Helen is the worst singer in the world!".

Next, what does the expression "narrow minded" mean in the context of the dialogue?
Susie is saying that she thinks Sigourney is intolerant 2.
1 has a limited width: This is the best choice here. When something is "narrow", it is "not wide" or has a "limited width". This adjective can be used to describe many things, including passage ways and even trousers! In some circumstances it shares a similar meaning with "slim" or "thin". Example: "There is a very narrow gap between my desk and my colleague's desk".
1 is very long: If something is "long", it is "tall" or "big in length". This does not share a similar meaning with the term "narrow".
1 is very wide: If something is "wide" it is "broad" or "has a large width". This is in fact the opposite of the term "narrow".
1 has lots of tall buildings: This is not the best choice here. The fact that a street has tall buildings is unrelated to it being "narrow" or otherwise.
2 is intolerant: This is the best choice here. To be "narrow minded" is to have a limited view-point of an issue, or to be prejudiced. Example: "My parents are very narrow-minded people, and they don't like my boyfriend because he has long hair".
2 wants to fight: Although Sigourney is rather aggressive in this dialogue, the term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who wants to "fight" or "argue".
2 isn't very intelligent: This is not the best answer here. The term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who is "stupid" or "not intelligent".
2 is selfish: This is not the best answer here. The term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who is "selfish" or "thinks only of themselves".
