From the list below, choose the TRUE statement(s) according to the conversation you just heard.

There may be more than one correct answer!

There is paper lodged inside of Icarus' printer.

This statement is true. Icarus tells Jean that paper "keeps getting stuck" in his printer, and that the printer is "jammed". The terms "stuck" and "jammed" both refer to a blockage (of the printer) in this context. The construction "to keep (getting stuck)" indicates that the paper getting stuck happens often. The verb "to keep" or "to keep on" is always directly followed by another verb in the ING form.

Icarus feels lucky that Jean will attend his party

This statement is false. Jean will not attend the party because he has family in town. Icarus reacts to this news by saying "I didn't think so. Just my luck." This statement expresses Icarus' disappointment. The idiom "(that's) just my luck" is used when an action or event confirms the speaker's impression that he is unfortunate or unlucky.

Jean will come back and fix the printer in 6 to 8 weeks.

This is false. Jean tells Icarus that he will take the printer with him, and "contact" Icarus in 6 to 8 weeks. Jean will give Icarus an update on the printer in that time: he makes no promise of fixing it!

Jean has family in town.

This statement is true. When Icarus asks Jean if he is free this evening to attend his birthday celebration, Jean replies that his cousins are in San Francisco, and that he will dine with them this evening. The expression "(my family is) in town" indicates that the family is visiting the town or city in which the speaker lives (in this case San Francisco).

Bob sent Jean to take a look at Icarus' printer.

This is a true statement. After Icarus asks Jean if he can help him, Jean explains that Bob "asked (him) to come and check the printer", which isn't working properly. Jean was sent by Bob to look at Icarus' printer.

Just my luck
