Bob starts his email by writing "we will be upgrading our accountancy software". This means that Delavigne's existing software will be improved. Note that in other contexts, "upgrading" can also refer to replacing a program with a newer version.
Bob clearly states that he is looking for cheaper alternatives to Miracle software, which indicates that he is concerned about the price of the program. The purpose of Bob's email is to propose three low-cost software alternatives to Bruno.
Bob writes that "the program has its flaws". This means that the program has problems or "defaults". If a program has flaws, it is not perfect.
Bob writes that "the 2000 edition (of Cheapskate software) is available for under $300". This means that the price of the program is "less than $300". We often use "over" and "under" to indicate prices which are "high" or "low".

This statement is false. After hearing what Polly has to say, Kevin has decided to "downgrade", or "change" his ticket to a lower price and class.
This statement is true. Polly tells Kevin, "If you still wish to travel in business class, the extra cost will be deducted from your next check". "To deduct" and to "take (money) away" are synonymous in this context: to deduct money from someone is to reduce their pay, or take part of their money.
This statement is true. Polly says: "all plane tickets purchased by the company must be in economy class". This means that the corporation will NOT pay for its employees to fly business class, although the employee may choose to pay the difference and upgrade with their own money.

Complete the conversation below with the appropriate travel terms.
Travel Agent: For your departure Mr. Connors, you will be flying San Francisco International Airport.
Kevin: I suppose that's okay.
Travel Agent: And for your arrival, you will at Hong Kong International Airport.
Kevin: Listen, I hate flying. Is there any way you can me to first class? I'd feel so much better.
Travel Agent: I'm afraid not. But if you prefer not to fly, you can always go train.
Kevin: A train to Hong Kong? Are you mad? I'll take the plane thanks!

Kevin: I suppose that's okay.
Travel Agent: And for your arrival, you will land 2 at Hong Kong International Airport.
Kevin: Listen, I hate flying. Is there any way you can upgrade 3 me to first class? I'd feel so much better.

Kevin: A train to Hong Kong? Are you mad? I'll take the plane thanks!
Travel Agent: For your departure Mr. Connors, you will be flying out of 1 San Francisco International Airport.

1 out of: This is the most suitable choice. To fly "out of" a city is to depart or leave "from" a city. Example: For my trip to the US, we flew out of Heathrow Airport.
1 by: This is incorrect. To fly "by" a place is to fly via it, or to make a stop there.
1 of: This choice is incorrect. To fly "of" a place is not grammatically correct.
2 land: This is the correct choice. The travel agent is referring to Kevin's arrival. When a plane "lands" at a destination, it arrives there. To "land (a plane)" is to bring a plane down onto the ground (or earth). The opposite is "to take off".
2 take off: This is incorrect. The travel agent is referring to Kevin's arrival (not departure). A plane "takes off" when it leaves the ground and ascends into the air.
2 fly: This is incorrect. We fly "to" a place, not "at" a place.
3 upgrade: This is the correct choice. To "upgrade (a ticket)" is to raise it to a higher grade or class (usually from second class to first class). Example: The economy section was full, so the flight crew upgraded my ticket to business class.
3 update: This is incorrect. To "update (someone)" is to inform them of the latest news. To "update (a file)" is to supply it with the latest information.
3 upscale: This is incorrect. "Upscale" is an adjective meaning "classy", "luxurious", "elegant" or "expensive". For example: The restaurants in this neighborhood are quite upscale, I prefer eating at McFooFoo's Fried Food Emporium.
4 by: This is the correct choice. The preposition "by" is used for means of transport such as trains, planes, and automobiles. Example: "Edward goes by bus to the office every day." Note that to describe "walking", both "on foot" and "by foot" are used, however never "by feet"!
4 on: This is the incorrect preposition to use. We go "on foot" but not "on train". To be "on a train" is to be inside the train.
4 in: This is the incorrect preposition to use. The preposition "in" is rarely used with means of transport, such as trains. You can "live in a train", but not "travel in a train".
