This statement is false. When Icarus enters the office, Donna says "we have another session today", indicating that they have already had a session together at some point in the past. Donna then goes on to say "goodness, has it been a week already?" indicating that the last session took place a week ago. This is not the first session Icarus has had with Donna.
This statement is false. Donna tells Icarus "we don't want you falling asleep, now, do we?" however she is joking with him when she says this. She is telling him not to become too comfortable on her couch and fall asleep. There is no indication that Icarus actually falls asleep during the session.
This is a true statement. Donna says to Icarus, "you seem to be in good spirits today." The idiom "to be in good spirits" refers to being in a good "mood", or being happy. Icarus then replies "well yes I am", indicating that he is indeed in a good mood today. The term "mood" refers to a temporary state of the mind, whether happy, sad or angry. Other variants of this idiom are to be in a "bad mood" or to be in "a mood" which refer to being angry, irritated or annoyed.
This is a true statement. Donna asks Icarus "shall we just start from where we left off last week?" and Icarus then replies "where did we get to last week?" indicating that he himself does not know what was talked about in last week's session. When Donna talks about "where (they) left off" she is referring to the topics that were covered in last week's session. For example: -Where did we leave off last time? -You were explaining Foucault's pendulum.

| to come | round 3 | = to make a visit |
| to pick | up 4 | = to collect |
1 behind: This is correct. "To leave (something) behind" means to leave something (intentionally or unintentionally) or forget something. Example: I decided to LEAVE my husband BEHIND because he was too heavy to take on the plane. In the conversation, Shaun Saber tells Brian that he thinks he "may have left (his) arm behind", which means he has forgotten his arm, probably leaving it at the Delavigne Offices.
1 off: "To leave off" does not mean to leave or forget something. "To leave off" means to omit. Example: We decided to LEAVE steak OFF the menu because most the wedding guests were vegetarian. It can also mean "to stop" in specific contexts. Example: Where did we LEAVE OFF? (=What were we talking about before we stopped?).
1 round: Sorry, "to leave round" is not a phrasal verb!
1 up: Sorry, "to leave up" is not a phrasal verb!
2 off: This is correct. "To come off" means to become detached (or be capable of being detached). Example: My ski CAME OFF when I crashed into a tree OR The house is very old, the paint is COMING OFF the walls. In the conversation, Brian says that Shaun Saber's artificial arm "probably came off when (he was) shaking Bruno's hand!".
2 behind: "To come behind" isn't an officially recognized phrasal verb! Sorry!
2 round: "To come round" means to visit; it does not mean to become unattached.
2 up: "To come up" does not mean to become unattached. "To come up" means to manifest itself or arise. Example: Fortunately, the subject of children hasn't COME UP yet. It can also mean to rise above the horizon (the sun CAME UP) or approach (This man CAME UP to me and called me an idiot!).
3 round: This is correct. "To come round" means to make a visit. Example: A handsome sailor like you is always welcome - COME ROUND to my house whenever you like! In the conversation, Shaun Saber says, "I'll come round to pick (my artificial arm) up myself".
3 off: "To come off" means to become detached; it does not mean to make a visit.
3 behind: "To come behind" isn't a phrasal verb! Sorry!
3 up: "To come up" does not mean to make a visit. "To come up" means to manifest itself or arise. Example: Fortunately, the subject of children hasn't COME UP yet. It can also mean to rise above the horizon (the sun CAME UP) or approach (This man CAME UP to me and called me an idiot!).
4 up: "To pick up" means to collect. Example: Don't forget, it's your turn to PICK UP the kids from school tonight. In the conversation, Shaun Saber says, "I'll come round to pick (my artificial arm) up myself".
4 off: "To pick off" does not mean to collect. To pick off means to shoot after singling out. Example: The teacher climbed on to the roof with a gun and PICKED OFF the children one by one as they arrived at the school.
4 round: Sorry, "to pick round" is not celebrated as a phrasal verb.
4 behind: Sorry, "to pick round" is not celebrated as a phrasal verb.
