Hello,
The question is the same: are these sentences OK?
Is he really that knowledgeable? - Oh, yes. He EMBARKED ON the difficult life=path of entrepreneur way back in 1989.
He had put so much on the line and if something went wrong now, nobody would BAIL Mr Harris OUT.
The money for the goods was coming IN DRIBS AND DRABS, and Mr Harris did his best to KEEP ABREAST OF the competitors.
His company nearly went bankrupt, but he had wisely HEDGED HIS BETS by investing part of his profits in sovereign bonds, and eventually managed to BOUNCE BACK.
I tried to use the following expressions:
to embark on
to bail out
in dribs and drabs
to keep abreast of
to hedge one's bets
to bounce back
Thank you very much in advance.
