Exercício 1

Mayor Flimshaw invites Susie to his office so that they can speak "without being overheard." What does this mean?

Let's speak in a place where no one can hear us

Let's speak in a place which is more quiet

I can't hear out of my left ear, let's speak without words

I'm having a hard time hearing you, let's go somewhere else

Eu não sei

Mayor Flimshaw invites Susie to his office so that they can speak "without being overheard." What does this mean?

Let's speak in a place where no one can hear us

This is the best choice. The mayor is concerned that other people at the party will hear the secret negotiations between himself and Susie.

Let's speak in a place which is more quiet

It's true that the mayor wants to move to his office, but it is not because he wants more silence.

I can't hear out of my left ear, let's speak without words

This choice is inappropriate. Simply inappropriate.

I'm having a hard time hearing you, let's go somewhere else

This choice is incorrect. The mayor is not having difficulty hearing.

Exercício 2

At the end of the dialogue, Sam tells Bruno and Icarus "I'm all ears".
What does he mean by this?

You can tell me anything

Be careful what you say to me, we might be overheard

I have many ears placed strategically on my body

I agree with you entirely

I'm listening to you

Eu não sei

At the end of the dialogue, Sam tells Bruno and Icarus "I'm all ears".
What does he mean by this?

You can tell me anything

Sam is not reassuring Bruno and Icarus of his "trustworthiness", rather he is announcing that he is listening to them.

Be careful what you say to me, we might be overheard

Sam is not encouraging Bruno and Icarus to be careful because of people listening to their conversation, rather he is announcing to them that he is listening.

I have many ears placed strategically on my body

Sam only has two ears. However his wife reports that Sam does in fact have a floating third nipple. Amazing!

I agree with you entirely

Sam's expression is not one of agreement. He is expressing that he is listening to Bruno and Icarus, not that he agrees with what they are saying.

I'm listening to you

This is correct. The idiom "I'm all ears" is a common English expression (both American and British) which indicates that the speaker is listening attentively.
