Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.
Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.
This is correct. We read in the title of Bruno's email that there will be a "special preview event" for Delavigne Corp's new art collection. "Preview event", "opening ceremony" and "private view" are all terms used to describe a cultural event where art is presented to the public for the first time. Bruno also writes that "we will unveil the first painting". "To unveil (a painting)" is to remove the cover from a new painting, so that the public can see it for the first time.
This is incorrect. Bruno says that the "first painting was purchased at my own expense", meaning that he paid for it. He also says that it is his gift to the Delavigne staff. When Bruno writes that he "will bring up the matter of finances at the next shareholders meeting" he means that he will simply speak to the shareholders about financing the art collection. To "bring up (a subject in a meeting)" is to "raise" it or introduce it in a discussion.
