This is a true statement. Ruby says in her message that she "runs a specialty bookshop". The verb "to run" is used here to indicate that Ruby manages, directs or even owns the bookshop (or bookstore).
This statement is true. Ruby says that her hobbies include "wining and dining". This expression describes Ruby's interest in eating at nice restaurants and drinking good quality wines. The expression is comprised of the gerundive (ING) forms of the verbs "to wine" (rarely used as a verb) and "to dine" (meaning to eat dinner). Although this expression doesn't explicitly refer to eating and drinking in restaurants, it generally does refer to eating outside of one's home. Note that the expression can also be used in the active sense: Bruno wined and dined the prospective client to encourage her to sign the contract.
Abra Cadabra everybody! This answer is wrong.
There is nothing in this message which indicates that Ruby enjoys running or jogging. Ruby mentions that she "runs a specialty bookstore", meaning that she manages or supervises it. The verb "to run" isn't being used to describe the physical act of jogging or exercising in this context.
In this message, Ruby introduces herself and describes her interests and hobbies. She asks Icarus to email her, but she never makes a date (or appointment) to meet Icarus.
Ruby says that she "used to be in the film industry", meaning that in the past, she worked in the film industry (as an actress, producer or director- it is unspecified). Ruby is explaining her former profession and not stating that she no longer enjoys the cinema or films.
