Now select the TRUE statements.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This is a correct statement. Bruno says, "the company (Delavigne Corp) covers accommodation expenses for new foreign employees." This is confirmed by Edward when he says he was indeed given a "housing subsidy of $300", which he spent on "a tent, a sleeping bag and a guitar". A "housing subsidy" is a sum of money that is given to a person to help them pay for accommodation.
This statement is incorrect. Edward does not live in an apartment, he lives in a tent. "Glen Park" is a "fancy" (=exorbitant, costly) neighborhood where Bruno thinks Edward is living. In fact Bruno is mistaken: Edward lives in a real park "with trees and a playground"!
This statement is incorrect. Edward says that his "neighborhood is very loud". He continues to say that "the raccoons are very noisy, and last night one of them got into my tent." A "raccoon" is a carnivorous mammal that lives in North America. Edward's home is not quiet!
This is a correct statement. During the conversation we learn that Edward is living in a tent in a park. At the end, Bruno tells Edward to "dismantle" his tent and erect it in a different location - Brian Jones's garden! "To dismantle" means to disassemble or to take down.

1 subsidy: "Housing subsidies" are typically government funds that are used to help people pay for homes or apartments.

Example: Many farmers wouldn't be able to survive without government SUBSIDIES.
