This is incorrect. Donna says "I hardly ever check my emails". "Hardly ever" means "very rarely".
This is correct. Fred says "You have some well-trained receptionists, I know dead people who are easier to speak to than you!" Fred exaggerates Donna's unavailability by comparing it to that of "dead people" who are impossible to talk to (though it depends on your spiritual beliefs!). This is supposed to be funny.
This is incorrect. The first thing Donna says to Fred is "cold callers aren't welcome at the Delavigne Corporation". A "cold caller" is usually a salesperson who phones without an appointment. By using this term, Donna is suggesting that Fred is a "cold caller" therefore we can assume the call is unexpected.
This is incorrect. Fred says "didn't you receive my emails?". This means that Fred has already contacted Donna. However, note that this is the first time that he has PHONED her!

1 Anyway: This is the right answer. "Anyway" is a very useful expression in English. It is often used at the beginning of a sentence to return to the main subject or intention after "digressing" or talking about something unrelated. For example: "Anyway, we can't sit here chatting all day. We still have lots of points on the agenda to get through".
2 mind: This is correct. The "mind" is the human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination. Example: Taking all those drugs ruined his mind.
3 cold call: This is the right choice. A "cold call" is a telephone call to a prospective customer without an appointment or a previous introduction. A person who makes "cold calls" is often called a "cold caller". For example: "I'm sorry I'm going to hang up because I don't talk to cold callers".
