When Bob proposes to "go over" the Delavigne handbook with Jean, he is offering to review 2 the handbook.
1 correct Jean's poor behavior: This is the best choice here. The idiom to "set someone straight" means "to instruct, inform or correct someone". We use it to refer to someone who is behaving inappropriately, or who is ignorant of something obvious. In this case, Bob is offering "correct Jean's inappropriate behavior". He will do this by talking to Jean.
1 change Jean's sexual orientation: Hmmmm. It's true that in English, heterosexuals are sometimes called "straight", but Bob is not suggesting to Susie that he will try to "alter Jean's sexual orientation" in this conversation.
1 arrange a meeting with Jean: Although one can "set up a meeting", this is not what the idiom "to set someone straight" expresses in this dialogue.
1 punch Jean in the face: Violence is never the correct answer, young jedi. To punch is to hit someone with your fist.
2 review: This is correct. To "go over" (the handbook) means to "review" or "look at" it. Bob is offering to "review" the handbook with Jean. To "go over" a text usually indicates that one is "reviewing it", or that they have already read it previously.
2 give him a copy: This is incorrect. To "go over" (the handbook) does not express the action of "giving" it.
2 inquire about: This is incorrect. To "go over" (the handbook) does not express the action of "inquiring" or "asking" something.
2 test him on: This is incorrect. To "go over" (the handbook) does not express the action of "testing" Jean on the handbook.
2 write about: This is incorrect. To "go over" (the handbook) does not express the action of "writing about" the handbook.

"I didn't have time to go over 3 the report you sent me, can I read it tomorrow?"
1 show up: In his letter Bruno writes "I doubt that my brother will be attending this year, but there's always a small chance that he'll show up." This means that although Bruno doesn't think his brother will attend the meeting, there may be a small chance he will make an appearance, or "show up".
2 wrap up: "To wrap up (a meeting)" means to conclude a meeting. When Bruno writes "we'll wrap up the proceedings", he means that they will finish the "proceedings" (the meeting). To "wrap up" can also mean to summarise or recapitulate, for example: And so to wrap up, I'd just like to thank everyone for attending.
3 go over: "To go over (a report)" is to review or to examine a report, as in the example: "Can we go over it one more time? I don't understand." In the letter, Bruno writes "everyone will have a chance to go over this year's figures", which means that everyone at the meeting will have the opportunity to examine (or review) the budget figures. Note that "to go over" can have different meanings in different contexts.
