This statement is true. Mick tells Bruno that he's "got to get going" if he wants to "catch high tide". The verb "to catch" is being used in the sense of "arriving" in this sentence. We can use "catch" in many ways in English, in both formal and informal contexts. This use of "to catch" in Mick's phrase is similar to the expression "to catch a flight". He means that he wants to be at Mavericks (and surf) during or at high tide. "To get going" means to start moving or leave to go somewhere.
This statement is true. Bruno tells Mick that he will "get in touch with Kevin Connors right away". To "get in touch" means "to contact". Bruno will contact Kevin on behalf of Mick, in order to resolve Mick's shipping problem.
This is not true. Bruno tells Mick that his problems are "troubling", and that he will ask Kevin Connors to assist Mick right away, so we can assume that Bruno is concerned about the situation.
This statement is true. Mick tells Bruno that cargo is "often missing". If something is "missing" it is "absent" or "not present". Mick also tells Bruno that the crates which are on the ships are "usually damaged", which expresses that the merchandise is "broken" or "damaged".

Giuseppe is .
Giuseppe is a missing primate.
a missing primate: This is the correct choice. Bruno is asking about an "escaped monkey". Horatio confirms that the monkey is named "Giuseppe". "Missing" shares a similar meaning with "absent", and to "escaped" in this context. In English, a "primate" refers to an animal in the monkey family (a gorilla, a chimpanzee, an orangutan, etc).
an intern in the Delavigne laboratory: This is not a good choice. Neither Horatio or Bruno speak of any interns in Horatio's laboratory. Giuseppe is an escaped monkey.
the title of a sad story: This is not a good choice. Giuseppe is not "the title of a sad story". Horatio does say, "It's a sad story", which is a reference to Giuseppe's situation, however Giuseppe is an escaped monkey.
a legitimate businessman: This is not a good choice. Giuseppe is not "a legitimate businessman". Bruno does say, "This is a legitimate business, man, not a zoo", but he is talking about the Delavigne corporation.
