Current Events Club meeting - Wednesday 12:00
Location: Horatio's Laboratory
Jean wants to discuss bird disease 1.
Philip wants to discuss criminal organizations 2.
Hannah wants to discuss terrorist interrogations 3.
I (Brian) have decided that we will discuss my own 4 suggestion.
1 bird disease: This is the correct answer. After Brian asks the participants what they would like to talk about in the meeting, Jean replies "I heard about a terrible pigeon epidemic". An "epidemic" is a rapid occurrence of a disease.
1 evolution: This is not the topic that Jean wants to discuss.
1 pigeon racing: This is not the topic that Jean wants to discuss. "Pigeon racing" is the sport where pigeons have to fly home in the fastest time.
1 climate change: This is not the topic that Jean wants to discuss. "Climate change" is the variation of the Earth's global climate, such as global warming.
2 criminal organizations: This is correct. After Jean gives his suggestion, Philip suggests that the group should talk about "Russian prostitution rings". In this context, a "ring" is an association of criminals. Example: The New York cocaine trade is controlled by a Colombian drugs ring.
2 jewellery: This is not the topic that Philip wants to discuss. Although he refers to "prostitution rings", he does not mean "jewellery", but "criminal organizations".
2 illegal pornography: This is not the topic that Philip wants to discuss.
2 traveling to Europe: This is not the topic that Philip wants to discuss.
3 terrorist interrogations: This is the correct answer. Hannah is the third person to give her suggestion: "I'd like to discuss the CIA's alleged use of torture techniques against terror suspects." Hannah wants to discuss the questioning (or interrogating) of terrorists using torture techniques.
3 aircraft safety: This is not the topic that Hannah wants to discuss.
3 tortoise extinction: This is not the topic that Hannah wants to discuss. Hannah mentions "torture" not "tortoises".
3 government conspiracies: This is not the topic that Hannah wants to discuss.
4 my own: This is the correct answer. Brian says that all the other suggestions are "good subjects" for the meeting, but he has decided that the topic of the meeting will be "about the recent internet anti-piracy laws in Europe" (his own suggestion). The term "anti-piracy laws" refers to the legal attempts to ban copyright infringement (or violation) and the illegal downloading of copyrighted material.
4 Hannah's: Brian has not chosen to use Hannah's suggestion as the topic of the meeting.
4 Jean's: Brian has not chosen to use Jean's suggestion as the topic of the meeting.
4 Horatio's: Brian has not chosen to use Horatio's suggestion as the topic of the meeting.
4 Philip's: Brian has not chosen to use Philip's suggestion as the topic of the meeting.
