Philip is telling Mick that he will arrange a meeting with 1 Harold Warbuckle before Mick returns to Australia 2.
Philip is telling Mick that he will arrange a meeting with 1 Harold Warbuckle before Mick returns to Australia 2.
1 arrange a meeting with: To "set up a meeting" is another way of saying "to arrange" or "to schedule a meeting". The pronoun "it" refers to the subject of Mick's previous question to Philip, "Hey, were you able to get me an appointment with Warbuckle?". "It" refers to the "appointment". Note that the phrasal verb "to set up" has many different meanings in different contexts.
1 put pressure on: The expression "to set up" or to "set something up" is not related in any way to "putting pressure" on someone or something. To put pressure (on somebody) is to force or persuade them (usually verbally).
1 sign a contract with: The expression "to set up" or to "set something up" is not related in any way to "signing a contract", which refers to reaching a written agreement.
1 send a fax to: The expression "to set up" or to "set something up" is not related in any way to "sending a fax", which refers to transmitting a document with a fax machine.
2 returns to Australia: The phrasal verb "to take off" has a few different meanings, but here it expresses the "departure" or the "flight" of someone or something. A plane "takes off" when it leaves the ground and ascends into the air. In everyday conversation, "to take off" can be used simply to indicate someone's departure. When Philip offers to set up the appointment, he says he will do it before Mick departs.
2 goes surfing: "To take off" does not express anything related to surfing.
2 meets with Bruno Delavigne: "To take off" does not express anything related to a meeting.
2 starts his vacation: Do not confuse the phrasal verb "to take off" with the idiom "to take time off" which can express that someone will be absent from work or go on vacation.

The opposite of to land is to take off 1.
"Permission granted."
To grant permission is to give 2 it.
The opposite of to land is to take off 1.
"Permission granted."
To grant permission is to give 2 it.
1 take off: This is correct. The terms "to land" and "to take off" have opposite meanings. To "land (a plane)" is to bring a plane down on to the ground or the earth. To "take off" has an opposite meaning: when a plane "takes off" it leaves the ground and ascends into the air. In the audio, Captain Dare wants to land his plane, and requests permission from the control tower to do this.
1 air: This is incorrect. To "air" does not have the opposite meaning to the verb "to land". The verb "to air" can mean to "express" (example: We aired our views to the policeman), or to "aerate" or "expose to air" (example: I always air my wet pants on the balcony).
1 fly: This is incorrect. To "fly" does not have the opposite meaning to the verb "to land". To "fly (a plane)" is to operate it so that it moves through the air.
1 unland: This is incorrect. There is no such word in the English language!
2 give: This is the correct answer. To "grant (a request)" is to allow it or to consent it. Example: My girlfriend's father granted me permission to marry his daughter. The expression "permission granted" is commonly used to declare that a request has been allowed or authorised.
2 deny: This is incorrect. "To grant" and "to deny" have opposite meanings. To "deny (a request)" is to refuse it. Note that to "deny (a rumour)" means to declare it to be untrue or to refuse to acknowledge it.
2 request: This is incorrect. To "grant" does not share the same meaning as to "request". It is Captain Dare who is requesting permission to land, and the control tower who is accepting (or granting) the request.
2 charge for: This is incorrect. To "grant (permission)" does not share the same meaning as to "charge for" it. To "charge for (a service)" is to ask for payment for it. The control tower is allowing Captain Dare's plane to land, not charging them for the privilege.

1 TAKE OFF: This is correct. To TAKE OFF has two meanings: 1. When a plane leaves the ground, it TAKES OFF; 2. If we remove (a shirt), we TAKE OFF (a shirt). In the dialogue, Edward TAKES OFF his belt in order to avoid activating the alarm.
1 SET OFF: This is incorrect. We could say that a plane is SETTING off to mean it is starting its journey; however, SET OFF is not used as a synonym of "remove". We cannot SET OFF shoes (or any other article of clothing).
1 GO THROUGH: This is not the best choice here.
2 GO THROUGH: This is correct. To GO THROUGH can mean to pass from one area to another area (often via a door or a tunnel). This is the meaning in the dialogue when Edward says; 'Can I go through (the metal detector) now? To GO THROUGH can also mean to search or examine carefully. For example, in the second dialogue, the security man GOES THROUGH Edward's bag to see if he has any suspicious items.
2 SET OFF: This is incorrect. SET OFF could finish the first sentence, meaning "to go" or "to continue"; however, "SET OFF my wallet" (=start my wallet!) does not make sense.
2 TAKE OFF: This is incorrect. "The barrier is open. You can TAKE OFF" works if we are talking about a plane; however, "TAKE OFF my wallet" does not make sense.
3 SET OFF: This is correct.To SET OFF can mean to begin a journey or trip, or depart. It can also mean to cause or start an explosion. In the dialogue, SET OFF is used in a similar way to express that the alarm will be started or activated: your belt will "SET the alarm OFF". Note, we could also say, your belt will "SET OFF the alarm".
3 GO THROUGH: "It will soon be time to GO THROUGH (customs)" makes sense; however, "GO THROUGH the explosion with this detonator" is nonsense! This is not the best choice here.
3 TAKE OFF: "It will soon be time to TAKE OFF (in the plane)" makes sense; however, "TAKE OFF the explosion with this detonator" does not make sense! This is not the best choice here.

A launch refers to a "takeoff 2".
In this context, cleared is synonymous with "authorized 1."
A launch refers to a "takeoff 2".
1 authorized: This is correct. 'To clear (a ship, an aircraft, etc) is to give it permission or to authorize it. Example: The port authorities cleared the ship to dock at the port and unload its cargo.
1 required: This is incorrect. To "be required to do something" is to "need to do it", or "to be obliged to do it".
1 positioned: This is incorrect. "Cleared" does not share the same meaning as "positioned".
1 ready: This is incorrect. To be "ready to do something" is to be prepared or organized to do it.
2 takeoff: This is the correct answer. A "launch" is a "takeoff" or a "liftoff" of a rocket or an aircraft (Note: a plane "takes off", but doesn't "launch"). These terms refer to the point when a flying vehicle leaves the ground. In other contexts, to "launch (an investigation)" is to "start" or "begin" it. Similarly, "to launch (a product)" is to release it onto the market.
2 landing: This is incorrect. A "landing" is the opposite of a "launch", it is when a plane or flying vehicle touches the earth, not when it leaves the earth.
2 release: This is incorrect. In this context, a "launch" is not synonymous with a "release".
2 mission: This is incorrect. A "launch" is not synonymous with a "mission".

Bonus question: When already flying, to raise the nose of an aircraft to make it climb, is to pull up 3. (2 words)
1 altitude: "Altitude" is the height of anything above the earth's surface. Example: Captain Ridiculous jumped from an ALTITUDE of 32200m setting a new sky diving record. In the dialogue, the controller asks Edward to "Say his Altitude". Note "say your altitude" is perfect for radio transmissions, however in everyday language, it would be better to say, "What is your altitude?".
2 Roger: "Roger" means "I have received your last transmission satisfactorily". "Roger" was the U.S. military designation for the letter R (as in "received") from 1927 to 1957. In the dialogue, the controller says "Roger Mayday" to acknowledge that he has received Edward's distress call.
3 pull up: "To pull up" is to move the "steering wheel" (or "yoke") of an aircraft back so that the aircraft's nose lifts. In the dialogue, the air traffic controller tells Edward to "pull up" because his aircraft is losing altitude. Note: "to pull up" can mean lots of other things in different contexts!
