Choose all the TRUE statements from the list below.

Choose all the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This statement is true. Dr. Badguy refuses to leave a message for Bruno, or reveal the reason for his call to the Delavigne Corporation.
This is a true statement. Polly tells Dr. Badguy to hold on while she checks Bruno's schedule. A "schedule" is a diary or planner.
Dr. Badguy asks Polly when a good time to call Bruno would be, however he then changes his mind saying "forget about it". Although the verb "to forget" does indicate being unable to remember something, the expression "forget it" is synonymous with "never mind", or "don't bother".
This statement is false. Dr. Badguy offers to call back later. He will do this himself. Badguy never asks anyone (Polly or Bruno for example) to call him back. The use of the passive voice in this statement ("asks to be called") would mean that Badguy would want to receive a call rather than make the call himself, which is not true according to the dialogue.
This statement is false. Polly offers to check Bruno's schedule, however Dr. Badguy never schedules or arranges an appointment. Instead, he offers to call back in the future.

Bruno asks the IT people to "check that all the cables are plugged in properly".

How else could we express this?

" that all the are ."
Bruno asks the IT people to "check that all the cables are plugged in properly".

How else could we express this?

"Make sure 1 that all the leads 2 are connected 3 correctly 4."
1 Make sure: This is the right answer. "Make sure" is a nice way of saying "check" or "verify". It is fairly neutral and can be used in both business and everyday situations. Example: "I made sure the window was open before I jumped out of it".
1 Observe: "Observe" cannot be used as a synonym for "check". "Observe" means to watch without participating actively, which is not the case when checking cables. For example: "he observed the boys playing football on the motorway but said nothing, even when they scored a goal".
1 Reassure yourself: This is incorrect. To "reassure" someone is to calm them down or make them less anxious. It is very rarely used as a reflexive, and does not make sense here.
2 leads: "Leads (UK)" is the best answer here. "Leads" is often used as synonym for "cables" in British English. "Wires" can also replace the term "cables" without changing the meaning. They all serve the same purpose. Example: "Is this a lead, a wire, or a cable? -How should I know? They're all the same!".
2 printers: A printer is a machine that produces a paper copy of data from a computer. It cannot be used a synonym for cables, no matter how hard you try!
2 CD drive: This is a device that reads a compact disc. It cannot be used as a synonym for cables, no matter how hard you try!
3 connected: "Connected" is the right answer. "Plugged in" has the same meaning as "connected". It is often used to describe linking an electronic device to a power source. For example, "I tried everything to make the television work before I realised that I hadn't plugged it in!".
3 branched: "Branched" cannot be used as a synonym of "plug in". Branched conveys the idea of something being put into branches, for example,"the road branched into two".
3 assembled: Assemble can mean to put or fit together, but it is not used in technical language to describe connecting cables.
4 correctly: This is correct adverb to go after "plugged in". In this context "correctly" is a synonym of "properly".
4 nicely: "Nicely" is not used in technical language like this. It is used in more general or informal situations to describe doing something in a pleasant or agreeable way. For example: "he sings nicely", or "she refused but at least she said "no" nicely".
4 good: "Good" is an adjective. However, after a verb like "plugged in" we need an adverb. We could say the wires are plugged in "well", though this is a lot less natural than "correctly".

According to his email, which steps has Icarus taken and is Icarus taking to try to resolve the issue?

There may be more than one correct answer!
According to his email, which steps has Icarus taken and is Icarus taking to try to resolve the issue?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a good choice. Icarus has made an appointment, or scheduled a time, to visit the warehouse and the manager Mr. Jiou.
This is a true statement. Icarus says he will keep Bruno posted. "To keep someone posted" means "to inform them regularly" of the developments of a situation.
This is a false statement. The current warehouse manager, Mr. Jiou, has not been found to be responsible for the perfume mystery, so there is no motive to replace him.
This is a true statement. Icarus says he has "triple checked" his spreadsheets, so he has examined the numbers several times!
This is not true. Icarus has made an appointment to meet with Mr. Jiou, to determine whether the confusion is coming from some activity at the warehouse, but he cannot at this point accuse Mr. Jiou of any fault.
