This is a true statement. Maria says: "Why don't I just mail them to you?", referring to Philip's underwear, the item of clothing which Philip left at Maria's on Saturday night. "To mail" and "to send by post" are synonymous.
This is the only statement which is not true. There is no mention of where Maria is staying. It seems clear as well that there is no such person as "Brianna". Maria is just inventing a story about the man she is with named Brian.
This is a true statement. Philip tells Maria, "It's me Philip", and Maria responds by saying "the mechanic?". Maria isn't sure who is calling her, and believes that Philip is a mechanic, someone who repairs machinery (cars generally).
Throughout this conversation, Philip is reminding Maria of a date they had on "a few days ago". Philip tells Maria, "We had dinner two days ago".

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.

Re-write Luna's last sentence, keeping the same meaning and tone.
"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"
an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to if you want any more information!

Re-write Luna's last sentence, keeping the same meaning and tone.
"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"
Collect 1 an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to send me a message 2 if you want any more information!
"Come and pick up an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want any more information!"
Collect 1 an application form from the pouffe outside my office, and don't hesitate to send me a message 2 if you want any more information!
1 Collect: This is the best choice here. In this context, to "pick up (an application form)" is to "take" or "collect" it. Note that we can also use this term to describe "collecting" people: "Could you pick me up from the station tonight? My train arrives at 9pm".
1 Tidy up: This is not the right answer. To "tidy up" is to "clean" or "organise" a space. To "pick up litter or rubbish" shares a similar meaning, but this is not the context of Luna's sentence.
1 Fill in: This is not the right answer. To "fill in" (UK) or "fill out" (US) a form is to complete it: to enter the appropriate information. This does not share a similar meaning with "pick up".
2 send me a message: This is the right answer. To "drop someone a line" is to contact them, usually by writing to them or sending them an email. Example: "If you have any ideas, drop me a line and we can discuss them".
2 drop by: This is not the best choice here. To "drop by (someone's house)" is to pay a brief visit. Example: "I dropped by Brian's office last night after work". This does not share a similar meaning with "to drop someone a line".
2 mail me the application form: This is not the best choice here. To "mail" something to someone is to "post" or "send" it to them. This does not share a similar meaning with "to drop someone a line" in this context.
