From the list below, choose the TRUE statement(s) according to the dialogue you've just heard.
From the list below, choose the TRUE statement(s) according to the dialogue you've just heard.
This is the only false statement here. Sigourney and Susan arrange to meet, but it is to fight, not to have a drink together. They are going to have a "duel": an arranged "fight" or "battle" in which one of the fighters will die. This is a rather 18th-century way to resolve a dispute!
This statement is true. Sigourney says "this corporate eco-consciousness is just a transparent attempt to put these companies in the spotlight". This means that she thinks large companies are trying to draw attention to themselves by taking environmental measures. To be "suspicious" of something is to "suspect" or "doubt" it.
This is a true statement. Sigourney calls Susie an "impudent trollop". An "impudent" person is "insolent" or "impertinent". "Trollop" is an offensive term to describe a woman. This is certainly an insult!
