According to Fred:
Mindmelt is a that will allow Donna to
Mindmelt is a that will allow Donna to
According to Fred:
Mindmelt is a device 1 that will allow Donna to see people's thoughts 2
Mindmelt is a device 1 that will allow Donna to see people's thoughts 2
1 device: This is the right choice. A "device" is a piece of equipment or a mechanism designed to serve a special purpose or perform a special function. According to Fred, the Mindmelt device is designed to "project people's thoughts onto the screen of a PC or laptop".
1 book: This is not the right choice. There is no mention of "books" in the dialogue.
1 video: This is not the right choice. There is no mention of "videos" in the dialogue.
1 training course: This is not the right choice. There is no mention of "training courses" in the dialogue.
2 see people's thoughts: This is correct. Fred says that the Mindmelt device "allows you to project people's thoughts onto the screen of your PC or laptop". This means that the Mindmelt unit lets the user see people's thoughts. The "screen" (or "monitor") is the part of a computer terminal that displays information and images - the thing that you are looking at right now!
2 improve people's social skills: This is incorrect. Although the Mindmelt unit is designed to be used by psychologists, Fred does not say that the Mindmelt device will improve people's social skills.
2 speak different languages: This is incorrect. Donna says "at last, we're speaking the same language!" to indicate that Fred has found a subject that interests Donna (money!). However, Fred never says that Mindmelt will allow her to speak different languages.
2 set fire to people's heads: This is incorrect. To "set fire" means to cause to burn or ignite. Fred might not be the best salesperson in the world though he wouldn't say something like this about his new product!

1 press release: A "press release" describes a statement or communication to the media, generally for announcing news of interest (a product launch, a change of management, etc.). Example: We sent out a press release informing the media of our impending bankruptcy. In this dialogue, Susie tells Jean that she is "typing a press release".
2 annoyed: To be "annoyed (with someone or something)" is to be irritated or frustrated by it. Example: I am annoyed by my colleagues' lack of rigor. In this dialogue, Susie describes the situation as "annoying", which implies that she is feeling "annoyed".
3 room: The noun "room" describes the "space" or "place" available for something. Example: There is no room in the apartment for another sofa. In this dialogue, Susie tells Jean that there is no "room" on her screen to have two documents open at the same time. Note that "a room" describes a space in a home or apartment, such as a bedroom or dining room.
4 screen: In a technical context, a "screen" describes a display or monitor, a flat or curved surface where an image is projected. Example: Bruno just bought the sales team new screens for their computers. In this dialogue, Susie complains about the size of her screen to Jean.

For example: "People were shocked by his cutting-edge photography" or "Doctor Death uses a cutting-edge surgical technique to save people's lives".
