Questions 11–13: 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 have brought in extra seats so that no one has to stand, but it does mean that the people at the back of the room may be a bit squashed.”
C is right: extra seats were added 'so that no one has to stand', but people at the back may be 'a bit squashed'.
“Well, you can be as young as 16 or you can be 60 or over; it all depends on what type of voluntary work you want to do. Other considerations, such as reliability, are crucial in voluntary work and age isn’t related to these, in our experience.”
A fits because volunteers can be 'as young as 16 or 60 or over'; what matters is 'reliability', not age.
“What’s more, training doesn’t end when you start working for us – it takes place before, during and after periods of work.”
A matches the point that training 'takes place before, during and after periods of work', so it never stops.
