"To put worries to rest" is an expression meaning "to calm or appease one's fears or worries".
Perhaps if Karl's dog name was "Worries", this would be correct. But it does not make sense in the text.
"To spend time thinking about something" does not necessarily imply "worries". This is not the best choice here.
Karl is not expressing that he wants to create his own "concoction" or perfume, but rather that if Delavigne would send him a list of ingredients, he would feel "calm" or "reassured".

Icarus's line is not a request to get comfortable, rather it indicates that Bruno can be reassured that the company is doing well financially, which is Bruno's main concern in this dialogue.
This is correct. "To put something "to rest", means to effectively "end" something. In this case, Icarus is referring to Bruno's "fears" (or worries or concerns). Icarus is delivering the good news to Bruno that Delavigne has posted a profit rather than a loss this year, and for this reason, Bruno can be reassured.
Icarus is not asking for the time to finish speaking, as Bruno is not interrupting him. One would say "Let me finish" when they are being interrupted by another speaker. Icarus' expression indicates that Bruno can be reassured that the company is doing well financially, which is Bruno's main concern in this dialogue.
Icarus is not asking for more time to explain, rather his expression indicates that Bruno can be reassured that the company is doing well financially, which is Bruno's main concern in this dialogue.

Choose the TRUE statement from the list below.
Choose the TRUE statement from the list below.
This statement is not true. Bruno tells Icarus that he "deserves that warm glass of milk". What Bruno is saying is that Icarus "merits the glass of milk" or "he is worthy of having it", but not that he will "serve" or give him the glass of warm milk.
This statement is not true. Bruno tells Icarus: "I'm glad our accounting department, which is you, is capable of organizing our paperwork so efficiently". When Bruno says "which is you", he is expressing that Delavigne's accounting department is comprised solely of one person, Icarus Quincy.
This is the true statement. Icarus tells Bruno that the company is "in the black". "In the black" is a financial idiom which means "showing a profit" or "in good financial standing". It is directly opposed to the idiom "in the red" which means "operating at a loss", or being in debt.
This statement is not true. Icarus says to Bruno: "Let me put your fears to rest". This is an idiomatic expression which means "allow me to calm your worries". It is used when someone wants to comfort or reassure another person.
