This statement is false. On the contrary, Susie says that "the Delavigne Corporation has always had a close relationship with Harold Warbuckle - it's no secret." Later she says the collaboration between the companies is "public knowledge".
This is a true statement. After the second reporter asks a very long and confusing question, Susie replies "I'm sorry but I didn't understand a word of that". This is a clear indication that Susie doesn't understand his question.
This is a true statement. Reynolds says "I was just wondering what a representative of Delavigne was doing at a press conference for Warbuckle's Department Stores." He wants to know the reason why Susie, a representative of the Delavigne Corporation, is at Warbuckle's press conference.
This statement is false. Harold is clearly not calm when he screams "I know your father...". Calm and composed is an expression which refers to relaxed composure.

This country is composed of a North Island and a South Island: New Zealand 6
This country is a Commonwealth country: Both New Zealand and Australia 7
1 Wellington: This is correct. According to Rob, and most geographic authorities, Wellington is the capital of New Zealand! Did you know that Beef Wellington is a famous type of dish? You do now!
1 Auckland: This is incorrect. Although Rob is from Auckland, he tells us (correctly) that Wellington is the capital of New Zealand.
1 Canberra: This is incorrect. Canberra is the capital of Australia, not New Zealand.
1 Brisbane: This is incorrect. Although Jeff is from Brisbane, Brisbane is not the capital of New Zealand or Australia.
2 off the coast of Australia: This is correct. Rob tells Brent (correctly) that New Zealand is located "2000 kilometers off the coast" of Australia. The phrase "off the coast" describes a place, generally an island, in relation to another land mass, sometimes called the "mainland". For example: Hawaii is an island located off (of) the California coast.
2 on the coast of Australia: This is incorrect. "On the coast" and "off the coast" have different meanings. A city "on the coast of California" is located within California (and borders the ocean), however a city located "off the coast of California" is generally an island, in other words it is not "landlocked" to the state!
2 in the coat of an Ostrich: This is incorrect. Good guess though.
3 4.3 million: This is correct. Rob tells Brent Vanderplop that the population of New Zealand is around 4.3 million people (4,300,000).
3 2 million: This is incorrect.
3 22 million: This is incorrect. 22 million is the population of Australia, not New Zealand!
4 Canberra: According to Jeff, and most geographic authorities, Canberra is the capital of Australia! Did you know that Canberra is the only source of Canberries in the world? I'm just kidding, there's no such thing as Canberries, although I imagine they would be delicious.
4 Brisbane: This is incorrect. Although Jeff is from Brisbane, Brisbane is not the capital of New Zealand or Australia.
4 Auckland: This is incorrect. Although Rob is from Auckland, he tells us (correctly) that Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, not the capital of Australia!
4 Wellington: This is incorrect. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand!
5 22 million: This is correct. Jeff tells Brent Vanderplop that the population of Australia is around 22 million people (22,000,000).
5 20 million: This is incorrect.
5 4.3 million: This is incorrect. 4.3 million is the population of New Zealand, not Australia!
6 New Zealand: This is correct. Rob tells Brent Vanderplop that New Zealand "has a north island and a south island", in other words, the country is composed of two islands. If a country is "composed (of 2 islands)", the country "consists of" or "is made up of" 2 islands!
6 Australia: This is incorrect. Although strictly speaking, the Island of Tasmania (famous for its devils) lies off of the southern coast of Australia, only the country of New Zealand is truly composed of two islands, North and South!
6 Both New Zealand and Australia: This is incorrect.
6 Neither New Zealand or Australia: This is incorrect.
7 Both New Zealand and Australia: This is correct. Both Jeff and Rob inform Brent Vanderplop that their respective countries are "Commonwealth countries", ie countries under the protection of the King (or Queen) of England, although they are both independently-run democracies. Other Commonwealth countries: Canada, Jamaica, Barbados, Bangladesh, etc.
7 Neither New Zealand or Australia: This is incorrect. Both New Zealand and Australia are Commonwealth countries!
7 New Zealand: This is incorrect. Although New Zealand is a Commonwealth country, so is Australia!
7 Australia: This is incorrect. Although Australia is a Commonwealth country, so is New Zealand!
