Explanation:

1. For question 15:

• In a business - related phone message (assuming it's a business communication context), the fact that "Kyle Kirby is a line manager" (option a) is likely not essential information compared to details like cost (option b), delivery charge (option c), and extension number (option d) which are more relevant for business transactions or follow - up.

1. For question 16:

• Since it's a phone message, the box that would most likely be checked is "Telephoned" (option c) as it directly relates to the action of making a phone call. "Urgent" (option a) is more about the nature of the message but not the basic action of the call. "Wants to see you" (option b) is about a meeting request and "Returned your call" (option d) implies a prior call which isn't indicated here.

1. For question 17:

• "Interested" means having a feeling of concern or curiosity. "Apathetic" means showing no interest or concern, so it is the opposite. "Responsive" means reacting quickly, "concerned" is similar in meaning to interested in a sense of care, and "callous" means unfeeling but not exactly the opposite of interested in the same semantic field as apathetic.

1. For question 18:

• "Questions" and "inquiries" both refer to seeking information. "Interrogation" is more formal and often implies a more intense questioning, "assumptions" are beliefs taken for granted, and "ideas" are thoughts or concepts.

Answer:

1. a. Kyle Kirby is a line manager.
2. c. Telephoned
3. a. apathetic
4. b. inquiries
