Lawrence uses the idiom "(the) clock is ticking!"
From the list of idioms below, choose the best equivalent to the expression "the clock is ticking": Time is running out.
From the list of idioms below, choose the best equivalent to the expression "the clock is ticking": Time is running out.
Time is running out: This idiom expresses a similar meaning to Lawrence's idiom "the clock is ticking". Both idioms indicate that "time is limited". In this case Lawrence is encouraging Horatio to get started with his monologue, as he only has 30 seconds, and he is being timed.
Take your time: The idiom "take your time" expresses that someone should "go slowly", and take all the time they need to do something. It expresses an idea opposite to Lawrence's statement "clock is ticking", which is request to "hurry up".
Game over!: "Game over" expresses that an activity is finished, or that no more time remains. This is not what Lawrence is saying to Horatio, who has not yet started his monologue.
Time's up!: "Time's up" expresses that an activity is finished, or that no more time remains. This is not what Lawrence is saying to Horatio, who has not yet started his monologue.

Select the TRUE statement from the list below according to the broadcast.
Select the TRUE statement from the list below according to the broadcast.
This is the true statement. Rupert and Moira repeatedly refer to the small amount of air Rupert has left in his tank. Rupert says "I can't stay too long because I'm running out of oxygen", to "run out" means to "use up" or have no more of something. Example: "Can you go to the shops? We have run out of milk." Towards the end of his report Rupert also says that he is "starting to choke", which means that a lack of air is making it difficult for him to breathe.
This statement is false. Rupert says "aside from the crew of astronauts who accompanied me on this mission, I see no men on the moon". This indicates that Rupert has traveled with astronauts to the moon.
This statement is false. Brent does ask Rupert if he can confirm the existence of a man in the moon, but at no point in the broadcast is it mentioned that the reason for Rupert's report is to look for this man. Rupert never gives a reason for his report from the moon, and actually says that he isn't sure why people continue visiting the moon, as there isn't much up there.
This statement is false. The only thing that Rupert can see on the moon are the other astronauts who are with him, and some geographical features such as craters (marks of impacts made by meteorites) and valleys (low areas between hills and mountains). Rupert insists that he cannot see any sign of human or rabbit presence on the moon. A "footprint" is the mark or imprint left by a foot on a surface.
