1 warn: "Warning" is the correct answer. To "warn" someone is to advise or notify them of something, and usually implies that they should be careful. The term often signals approaching danger. Another example: "I warned you not to bother me when I'm sleeping. Now, I'm going to get my revenge!" In the dialogue, Ira states that it is his responsibility to "warn" or alert his fellow shareholders that Delavigne stock is becoming a bad investment, in his opinion.
2 claimed: "Claimed" is the correct answer. To "claim (this land in the name of the Queen)" is to assert or declare the possession of a new land for her majesty. In this example, the speaker would like to assert or take credit for a good idea. In this dialogue, Bruno suggests that Ira doesn't truly represent the shareholders' opinions, as he claims to do. Another example: "He claimed all responsibility for the disaster."
3 retain: "Retain" is the correct answer. To "retain" is to keep possession of something. Another example: "After a long court battle, I was able to retain custody of my children." In this dialogue, Ira says that he can't recommend that the shareholders "retain", or keep, their shares of Delavigne stock because of its recent decline.

In the conversation, we hear that "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar at the moment".
This means that:
This means that:
In the conversation, we hear that "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar at the moment".
This means that:
This means that:
This is not the correct choice. To "retain a value" is to "keep" or "maintain" the same value. This does not define "the Australian Dollar is down against the US Dollar".
This is not the correct choice. If one currency is "down against" another, it is not necessarily "competitive" with that other currency.
This is actually the opposite of the meaning of "down against" in this context. If the Australian Dollar increases in value in comparison to the American Dollar, then we can say that "The American Dollar is down against the Australian Dollar".
This is the right answer. If one currency is "down against" another currency, then it has lost value in comparison. We could also say that the Australian Dollar is currently "weaker than" the US Dollar. Here's another example: "The Euro is currently down against the Pound, so 1 Pound is worth about 1.6 Euros".
