Which of these statements best describes Philip's feelings at the end of the scene?
Which of these statements best describes Philip's feelings at the end of the scene?
While this has always been Philip's secret passion, this possibility is not relevant to the dialogue.
It is actually Kevin who is concerned with the high cost of seafood. "To be upset" is to be disturbed or agitated about something.
This is the correct choice. Philip complains that Kevin is only talking about the costs of the dinner and not listening to his "sexual escapades". "To pay attention (to someone or something)" is to listen to or be attentive. This is the reason for Philip's frustration at the end of his conversation with Kevin.
Philip does say that he is returning to his desk, but this is not the reason for his frustration. "Angry" is synonymous with "mad".

Philip tells Susie that she does not understand what he is saying to her. His advice to her is to be more attentive.
be more attentive: Philip tells Susie to "pay attention next time". "Pay attention" is an idiom often found in the classroom. It is used by the teacher to ask the students to "follow the lesson" attentively.
interrupt him less frequently: This is not true. Philip never talks about Susie interrupting him.
research his sources: This is not true. Philip does not say anything about research.
give him her money: This is not true. Although the verb "to pay" literally suggests the payment of money, in this sense it is being used in the figurative sense. It should not be confused with "pay money".
练习 3
According to Mick, Delavigne's business in Australia would have been better IF:
According to Mick, Delavigne's business in Australia would have been better IF:
This is not the cause of Delavigne's average sales. Bruno actually says "I read the reports".
Mick never reproaches Bruno, nor does he complain that Bruno isn't "paying attention" to Delavigne Australia.
This is not the reason that Delavigne's sales were not as good as expected. The problem is that Warbuckle's representatives won't negotiate with Mick. Mick's future appointment with Harold Warbuckle is not the cause the poor sales, but it is the start of potential solution.
Mick tells Bruno that business in Australia would have been better, but Mick is "having some trouble with the management of Warbuckle's Department Stores". He then complains that Warbuckle's management "won't even give me an appointment with their buyers."
