Although many companies provide health care for their employees, medical bills aren't associated with employee expense accounts, which are reserved for business-related expenses.
The charges and fees for cleaning a company's office would not normally be associated with an employee's "expense account". A "fee" refers to the cost of a service. For example: I had to pay a three dollar fee for returning the video too late.
This is a good choice. A receipt from a taxi ride during a business trip is an example of something that would be associated with an "expense account". An "expense account" is a list of company charges and expenses paid for by the employee, then reimbursed to the employee after submission of an expense report.
This is a good choice. An "expense account" is an account of company charges and expenses initially paid for by the employee, then paid back or reimbursed to the employee after submission of an expense report. A "receipt" or "bill" is a piece of paper confirming payment for goods or services.
This would not be associated with an employee's "expense account". A "salary bonus" is an additional amount of money given to an employee, typically at the end of the year, or the end of a business period. A "salary bonus" is included in an employee's paycheck.

This is not true. Brian bought "a fancy yellow tennis racket", and "charged it to the company's expense account". This means that he did not pay for the item himself, and that Delavigne Corp. paid. Brian says "sometimes I play tennis with clients" to try to justify his mistake, but there is no indication that he does this too often.
This is a true statement. Donna says that her ex-boyfriend "needed some Delavigne colognes", and Brian tells her that this means she has been "sending out free samples without written authorization". "Authorization" shares a similar meaning with "permission". A "sample" is a small part of something that demonstrates the quality, style or nature of a product.
This statement is true. Brian accuses Donna of making "long-distance calls to (her) ex-boyfriend from the company phone". This means that she has been telephoning internationally. Donna defends herself by saying that the calls were "work-related".

1 company phone: "Company phone" is the correct answer. The "company phone" is the telephone line and handsets paid for by a business. In the conversation, Donna is accused of making expensive "long-distance" calls using this phone line. This, of course, is unacceptable behaviour.
2 office supplies: This is the correct answer. "Office supplies" are the provisions, stationery, and equipment used in the workplace. This can include paper, pens, staplers, ink cartridges for printers, etc. In the conversation, Brian says that Donna has "been stealing office supplies". If this is true, then she is a very naughty girl.
3 expense: "Expense account" is correct. This term refers to the account which keeps a record of everything work-related which an employee has bought. This will then be reimbursed by the company, usually once a month. These expenditures can include travel costs, hotel rooms, and meals with clients. Brian charged his new tennis racket to his "expense account".
4 business expenses: "Business expenses" is the best choice here. "Business expenses" are items or services bought by an employee which are considered essential or necessary for their work. Examples of business expenses include petrol consumed on business trips, and meals paid for when dining with clients. These are reimbursed by the company. Brian claims that his new yellow tennis racket is a "business expense".
