Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.

There may be more than one!
This statement is false. Belinda (the cultural correspondent) describes horror as being the only genre left that can 'lay claim to any pretense of artistic relevance in this day and age'. What she means by this is that horror films are not only relevant today but that they are also the only genre in her opinion that is culturally significant or relevant.
This is a true statement. Belinda Adams (the correspondent) tells Brent and Moira 'most of the major releases are absolute trash, so that's nothing new'. The term 'major release' refers to a film that has a large budget and therefore is a big production. The term 'trash' (US) refers to 'waste' or rubbish (UK). If something is described as being 'trash' it means that it is of poor quality or simply garbage or rubbish.
This statement is false. Belinda (the cultural correspondent) initially awards this film '4.5 stars' out of five, but then changes her mind and tells Brent and Moira that she has moved her rating up to 4 and three quarter stars (4.75). Because her maximum rating is 5, Belinda hasn't given the film a low rating. 'A rating' is a system of ranking or evaluation often used by critics in newspapers, on the radio and television.

1 tasty: This is the correct answer. The term 'tasty' refers to something that is delicious, or 'tastes good'. In the broadcast, Brent says 'Today we have a tasty little treat for you'. A 'treat' is something special that is given by way of reward or celebration. Brent is telling the Radio Rhubarb listeners that today's broadcast will be special and that Belinda's presence on today's show is a 'tasty treat', or special surprise for them. He doesn't literally mean that she tastes good! Although Belinda would probably go well with some fava beans (or broad beans) and a nice chianti.
2 trash: This is the correct choice. In American English, the term 'trash' refers to 'waste' or 'rubbish' in general. The term 'trash' is also used to refer to something of bad quality. In the broadcast, the correspondent says 'most of the major releases are absolute trash'. She means that the majority of major films at the cinema are of very bad quality.
3 harsh: This is the correct choice. The term 'harsh' refers to something that is severe, cruel or unpleasant. It can refer to how a person is treated, the taste of a food, a person's words or actions, etc. In this broadcast, Belinda tells Brent that 'one is never too young to learn the harsh realities of life'. She means that it is never too early for a child to learn about the cruel, severe and difficult aspects of life.

This is not the most likely choice. It would be unusual for Donna to "forward" (or transfer) these unwanted emails to her friends.
This is not the most likely choice. SPAM emails are usually sent out in mass by computer programs therefore it is pointless trying to respond.
This is not the most likely choice. It is impossible to eat electronic SPAM! Although the origin of the word comes from the company Hormel SPiced Ham which you can still eat! The term was used to describe unwanted mail sent in mass after the famous Monty Python sketch where the word SPAM is repeated endlessly.
This is not the most likely choice. It is possible to prioritize messages in an inbox by labelling them with different colours (red for urgent, green for personal etc). It would be unlikely for Donna to label unwanted SPAM email as "important".
This is correct. SPAM is unsolicited email, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups. It is usually of no interest to the receiver therefore is normally "deleted" or "put in the trash".

trash: "Trash" is refuse or waste. Example: Can you please take out the TRASH? The garbage men are coming to collect it in the morning. In the conversation, Edward criticizes Hank Straddlefields's sweeping when he tells him that he's "missed some trash over there in that corner".
