This is correct. Icarus says "I'd like you to meet my mother" which means that he is introducing his mother to Brian. This suggests that they have never met before. Both Marilyn and Brian say "Pleased to meet you", which is a common formal greeting to someone you meet for the first time.
This is correct. Marilyn tells Brian "That's why you're so skinny, you need some meat". To be "skinny" is to be very thin. Marilyn means that Brian should gain (or "put on") weight by eating fatty American foods like hamburgers.
This is incorrect. Icarus and his mother are late, but not because they couldn't find Brian or they got lost. Icarus says that he "had to help (his) mother into her best summer dress", meaning that he had to spend time helping his mother put her summer dress on.

1 Very well, thank you, and you?: This is the correct answer. "How are you?" is greeting, neutral in tone, which is mostly used to someone you have already met. A common response would be "Very well, and you?" although there are many variations: "I'm good, thanks" to "Pretty good, you?" for example. It is uncommon to say that things AREN'T going well, even if you may feel it.
1 Pleased to meet you, too.: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
1 How do you do?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
1 Oh, not much. You?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
2 Pleased to meet you, too.: This is the correct answer. "I'm very pleased to meet you" is a common and polite way of greeting someone for the first time. Other variants of this expression include: I'm happy to meet you, I'm glad to meet you, It's nice to meet you, etc. It is usually answered by repeating the phrase and adding "too" at the end.
2 Very well, thank you, and you?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
2 How do you do?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
2 Oh, not much. You?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
3 How do you do?: This is the correct answer. "How do you do?" is a very formal British greeting which, although it looks like a question, actually means "Nice to meet you". Therefore, the appropriate reply is the same as the question: "How do you do?". Don't worry: in truth, not many British people even know how to reply correctly to this greeting.
3 Pleased to meet you, too.: Although this response makes sense, it is not the standard reply to this greeting.
3 Very well, thank you, and you?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting. "How do you do?" does not have the same meaning as "How are you?" or "How are you doing?". Confusingly.
3 Oh, not much. You?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting. "How do you do?" does not have the same meaning as "What are you up to?" or "What's up?".
4 Oh, not much. You?: This is the correct answer. "What's up?" is the most informal greeting here, usually used by young people to other people they know. It means "What is new?", hence the reply "not much (is new)".
4 Pleased to meet you, too.: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
4 Very well, thank you, and you?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.
4 How do you do?: This response is not appropriate to this greeting.

Edward says pleased to meet you. Which of the following expressions could he have also used, keeping the same meaning?
Edward says pleased to meet you. Which of the following expressions could he have also used, keeping the same meaning?
This is incorrect. We say 'how are you?' when we want to know if someone is in good health, or is feeling well. This doesn't mean the same thing as 'pleased to meet you'.
This is incorrect. We say 'please accept my apologies' to someone when we want to say 'sorry' for something we have done. This doesn't mean the same thing as 'pleased to meet you'.
This is the right answer. To 'make someone's acquaintance' is to meet them for the first time. The expression 'I'm happy to make your acquaintance' is a slightly more polite and formal way of saying 'I'm pleased to meet you'. An 'acquaintance' can also refer to someone you know, but who is not close enough to be considered a 'friend'.
This is incorrect. This expression would mean that Edward and Sandra have already met. That is not the case: we only use 'pleased to meet you' the very first time we encounter somebody.

This is incorrect. Harold says, "we've all got to start somewhere". This idiomatic expression does not mean that Harold started in the same job as Edward, but that everyone has to begin their careers at a certain place, even if it isn't desirable.
This is a true statement. Harold says to Edward, "Who are you?" which suggests that they have never met before. When Edward introduces himself, Harold says "Pleased to meet you". This is a common and polite way of greeting someone for the first time.
This is incorrect. Harold wants to know Edward's ambition but never specifically tells Edward to leave his current (= present) job as an intern.
This is a true statement. At the end of the dialogue, Harold says "Play me something, Eddie. Let's see what you've got." Harold wants Edward to play him a song, and sing for him.
