Questions 11–14: 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.
“But please note if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat, we’ll move some of you over, otherwise all eighteen of us will end up in the sea!”
A fits the rule that 'if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat, we'll move some of you over'.
“They used to be jet black, but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats and a light-green exterior in order to stand out from others and help promote our company.”
C matches the new boats, which have 'comfortable dark red seats and a light-green exterior'.
“Lunchbox 2 contains a cheddar cheese roll and Lunchbox 3 is salad-based and also contains eggs and tuna.”
B is right because 'Lunchbox 2 contains a cheddar cheese roll', which is the vegetarian choice described.
“but Jess, myself or Ray, our other guide, will collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack.”
B fits the rubbish plan: the guides 'collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack'.
