Select the TRUE statement(s), there may be more than one.
This is an incorrect statement. Jean says that he went to the ladies toilet because the line (or queue) for the men's toilet "was enormous". He did not go into the women's toilet by accident, he went there deliberately, "with intention".
This is an incorrect statement. Jean says he was "thirsty" and was looking for a glass of wine, but all he found was pretzels. To be "hungry" is to want food or to have an urge to eat. Being "thirsty" is to need liquid.
This statement is correct. Jean says that the police took him "under the stadium and they checked my papers". To check someone's papers is to check their identification: a passport, a driver's licence, a green card (a US resident's card)... To "check someone's ID" is synonymous with checking papers. Example: "I was stopped at the border and they checked my ID".
This is an incorrect statement. Jean says that he "found a butterfly and (he) chased it for a little while". A butterfly is a beautiful insect with colourful wings (a "moth" is the equivalent which we see at night). Jean was not attacked by the butterfly: rather, he chased it. To "chase" someone is to pursue them. Example: "The cat chased the mouse for 10 minutes".

This applies to the advertisement. Susie speaks of a "half-nude virgin girl" in her description of the ad campaign.
This is the only choice which Susie does not mention. Susie talks about "the rhythm of pulsating African drums" in her description of the ad campaign, but she never talks about an "image", merely the sound.
This applies to the advertisement. Susie mentions "a woman whispering" in her description of the ad campaign. To "whisper" is to speak very quietly.
