What this part tests
This part is tested with One Choice (Q21–24). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 21–24: One Choice
Strategy: Read the question stem and predict the answer before looking at the options. Wrong options often repeat words from the audio while the correct one paraphrases them.
“we might get mixed up about what actually happened and what we dreamed.”
B fits because the speakers say 'we might get mixed up about what actually happened and what we dreamed'.
“but the explanation I’ve read is that for each dream that comes true, we have thousands that don’t”
A is right: for every dream that seems to come true, 'we have thousands that don't', so coincidence explains it.
“But they didn’t really find an answer. They spent a lot of time working out the most appropriate methodology, but the results didn’t seem to show any obvious patterns.”
C matches the finding that 'the results didn't seem to show any obvious patterns', even though the methodology was carefully planned.
“Last time I had problems with the final stage, where we had to describe and justify how successful we thought we’d been.”
C fits the difficulty with 'the final stage, where we had to describe and justify how successful we'd been'.
