Bob writes "it seems to me that Miracle is out of our price range".
He means that .
He means that .
Bob writes "it seems to me that Miracle is out of our price range".
He means that Delavigne cannot afford Miracle.
He means that Delavigne cannot afford Miracle.
Delavigne cannot afford Miracle: This is the best choice here. The expression "to be out of one's price range" means that the cost of something is "too high" or "too great". When Bob writes about "our price range", he is referring to Delavigne's "budget". A price range is the spectrum of cost that one is willing to pay for something. For example: My price range for a new car is between 3,000 and 5,000 dollars.
the cost of Miracle is too low: The expression "to be out of one's price range" does not mean that the cost of the software is too low, but rather that it is too high.
Delavigne should buy a more expensive software: The expression "to be out of one's price range" does not express that Delavigne should buy a more expensive software, only that the software Bruno is considering is "too expensive" for Delavigne's budget.
Miracle software is no longer in stock: The expression "to be out of one's price range" is not related to the product being "available" or "in stock".

An example of something or someone that is reliable is .
An example of something or someone that is affordable is .
An example of something or someone that is affordable is .
An example of something or someone that is reliable is a car that always starts on winter mornings 1.
An example of something or someone that is affordable is a new car within one's price range 2.
An example of something or someone that is affordable is a new car within one's price range 2.
1 a car that always starts on winter mornings: Something "reliable" is something dependable or trustworthy. Cars that start on cold winter mornings can be described as "reliable". Bruno wants Brian to find a "reliable" travel agency, meaning a company that can be trusted and is dependable.
1 a soldier who will die for his country: This example might be used to describe the term "loyal", however it would be unsuitable to explain the term "reliable". A "loyal" person is someone who is "faithful", for example: My husband is very loyal, he has never slept with any prostitutes.
1 a car salesman who doesn't deceive his clients: This example might be used to describe the term "honest", however it would be unsuitable to explain the term "reliable". An "honest" person is someone who speaks the truth, does not tell lies or is "frank" and "sincere". Example: "I need an honest opinion about this dress. Do you like it or not?"
1 the Florida exit polls for the 2000 US presidential election: Although this might depend on your political viewpoint, the Florida exit polls during the 2000 presidential election are regarded as rather "unreliable". "Unreliable (information)" is information that is "misleading" or "untrustworthy". Example: The results for the DNA test are unreliable and do not give truthful information.
2 a new car within one's price range: This is correct. "Affordable" means "reasonably priced", for example: This holiday is quite affordable; the flights and hotel aren't too expensive. One of Bruno's requirements for a travel agency is that it is not too expensive. "(A holiday within his) price range" is a holiday that he can afford, or which is priced within his lowest and highest limits.
2 work that is done quickly: This example is not suitable to describe the term "affordable". Doing work quickly is an example of "efficient" work. Example: Brian is an efficient assistant because he is able to perform his tasks without wasting any time.
2 a ray of sunshine on a grey day: This example is not suitable to describe the term "affordable". If you're lucky enough to see a ray of sunshine on a grey day count yourself lucky; especially if you go to Scotland, where it's mostly grey.
2 a CEO's assistant that can find a decent travel agency: I don't think you have understood the question. We're looking for an example of the term "affordable", not a description of Brian Jones and his tasks.

The apartment is in my price range.'
What does Jean mean by this?
What does Jean mean by this?
The apartment is in my price range.'
What does Jean mean by this?
What does Jean mean by this?
This is incorrect. The expression 'in one's price range' is unrelated to the 'style', 'design' or 'decoration' of a property.
This is the correct answer. '(A car) within one's price range' is a car that one can afford, or which is priced within one's lowest and highest limits. Jean is saying that the apartment is affordable and he has enough money to pay the rent.
This is incorrect. The expression 'in one's price range' does not mean that the cost of the apartment is high, but that it is affordable for Jean. Note that the expression 'out of one's price range' means that something is not affordable or too expensive.
This is incorrect. The expression 'in one's price range' is unrelated to location. '(To be situated) outside the city' means to be situated towards the exterior of the city, such as in the 'suburbs'.
