here are the answers to the questions, formatted as requested:

3. Answer the following questions.

a) Dormouse is conducting market research to understand the field before launching their unique printer.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Market research}}$$

b) The provided text does not specify which company's printers are being used in the manager's office.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Not specified}}$$

c) A "6-in-one" typically refers to a multifunction printer that combines six different functions into one device, such as printing, scanning, copying, faxing, emailing, and photo printing.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Multifunction printer}}$$

d) The term "skim facility" is not standard for printers. If it refers to a feature of a "unique printer," it would likely mean a function that allows for quick, superficial processing or previewing of documents, rather than a full, detailed operation.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Quick document processing/previewing}}$$

e) If the manager were to say, "I like your sense of humour more than the product," it would mean that the manager found Alisha's personality, wit, or presentation style more impressive or appealing than the actual product (the unique printer) she was discussing. It implies the product itself might not have been particularly remarkable.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Manager preferred Alisha's personality over the product}}$$

4. Discuss in group and write.

a) If I were Alisha and the manager wasn't paying attention, I would:

$$\boxed{\textbf{Re-engage with benefits, questions, or demonstration}}$$

• Reiterate the key benefit of Dormouse's unique printer, focusing on how it directly solves a problem or improves efficiency for the manager's business.
• Ask a direct, open-ended question to engage her, like "What are your current biggest challenges with office equipment?" to tailor my pitch.
• Offer a quick demonstration or a tangible benefit she could experience immediately, if possible, to pique her interest.

b) Many new products are launched annually. One notable new product this year is the Apple Vision Pro.

$$\boxed{\textbf{Apple Vision Pro}}$$
