Exercício 1
True or False? Luna says that Trey's resumé is incomplete.
True or False? Luna says that Trey's resumé is incomplete.
This statement is not true.
This statement is false. There is no indication that there is anything wrong with Trey's resumé, or that information is missing from it. Luna does use the expression that "sometimes resumés don't tell the whole story", however this indicates that there is more to a person than what is shown on a resumé or CV.
Exercício 2
Choose the idiom that best expresses the sense of Luna's sentence: "sometimes resumés don't tell the whole story".
Choose the idiom that best expresses the sense of Luna's sentence: "sometimes resumés don't tell the whole story".
The expression that something "doesn't tell the whole story" indicates that there is more information about something or someone than is shown, or obvious. Example: The new book about Napoleon doesn't tell the whole story. This expression shares a similar meaning with the idiom "you can't judge a book by its cover" which indicates that an entire book cannot be judged by simply looking at the cover or first page.
The idiom "Six of one, half dozen of the other" expresses that two things are essentially equal. For example, if I call someone a "server" in a restaurant but they correct me by saying that they are a "waiter". since the two words mean the same, I might respond, "Six of one, half dozen of the other". Even though something has been said in two different ways, they mean the same thing.
The idiom "You can't have your cake and eat it too" expresses one can't have everything, or that one "can't have it both ways". Eating a cake prevents you keeping the cake! Luna's expression doesn't express the same meaning of this idiom.
The idiom "It's raining cats and dogs" indicates that it is raining very heavily. Luna's expression "sometimes resumés don't tell the whole story" indicates that Trey's resumé is only partially helpful in understanding how he really works. The two expressions are totally unrelated.
