TOEIC Part 5, Part 6, Part 7
The TOEIC rarely names a situation outright; it describes one and expects you to recognise it. A meeting that is deadlocked, a project on hold, a deadline brought forward, a decision pending. This list gathers the fixed expressions that label the state of things in a company, the ones a Part 3 or Part 4 question is usually asking you to identify.
