This is a good choice. Brian says "...you are very good at schmoozing, sir." To schmooze means to speak easily with others in a social context. For example, to be able to hold conversations, give compliments, ask the right questions and so on.
This statement is true. Bruno states that he is "curious to know what he is going to talk about". This means he wants to know what the Harold Warbuckle has to say. To be "curious" is synonymous with "interested" in this context. For example: "I overheard my name spoken in the boardroom. I am curious to know why they were talking about me!"
This is not a true statement. Brian says "You ought to attend" To "attend" means to go to the event, to participate or take part. The verb "ought" is a modal verb used when giving advice. It is used in the same way as "should", so Brian means "It would be good for you to attend". "To skip (an event)" is to not go to it.
This is incorrect. Brian gives Bruno the morning mail. "Mail" is letters, bills, postcards, packages - anything that the postman brings. "Mail" does not mean newspaper.
