This is a true statement. Bruno says 'it's a pleasure to meet you at last'. This indicates that Bruno and Sigourney have not met before, and this is their first meeting.
This is a false statement. Bruno says that Sigourney is 'a journalist from the Sunday Roast'. She is the one who will carry out the interview. Ursula Bauer is described as 'an environmental consultant'. Bruno says 'I was thinking that Ursula could sit in on our meeting, since she is an expert'. This means that she will be attending the meeting, but not conducting it.
This is true. Bruno says 'I see you share a common tongue. German'. The two women exchange words in German, showing that they can both speak this language.
This is incorrect. When Sigourney asks Bruno if Ursula is his 'spouse, life partner or secretary', he says that she is 'none of the above'. He explains that she is in fact 'an environmental consultant'.

This is correct. The term 'tongue' is most commonly used to describe the muscular organ found in the mouth, used to help us speak, eat, and kiss. To 'pierce (a tongue, an ear)' is to make a hole in a part of the body and insert a piece of metal for decorative purposes.
This is incorrect. Although the term 'tongue' can refer to a 'language', as it does in this conversation, the two terms are not always interchangeable. As a general rule, we use the term 'tongue' to describe the 'dialect' or the 'language' of a specific people. The term cannot be used in this sentence. A better choice would be: 'I love learning new languages'.
This is incorrect. The term 'tongue' cannot be used to refer to any kind of footwear. Summer shoes made of two strips of leather, fabric, or rubber which meet between the toes are called 'flip-flops'.
This is correct. The term 'mother tongue' is used to describe a person's 'native (or first) language'.
