What this part tests
This part is tested with Form Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–10: Form Completion
Strategy: Read the form labels to predict the answer type, then listen for the paraphrase. Copy the exact word, name or number within the limit.
“MAN: It's 27 Bank Road.WOMAN: 27 Bank Road. Is that in Greendale?MAN: Yes”
The address is repeated back as '27 Bank Road' and confirmed with 'Yes', so house number and street are both needed.
“WOMAN: And could I ask what your occupation is?MAN: Dentist”
Occupation noun: he answers 'Dentist' to the job question, so 'a dentist' fits the form's singular slot.
“MAN: It's a Hewton Sable.WOMAN: Could you spell the model name please?MAN: Yes . . . S-A-B-L-E”
Model name spelled 'S-A-B-L-E' after the make Hewton, so Sable is required rather than a guessed spelling.
“WOMAN: Right . . . we need to know the name of the company. MAN: Yes . . . it was Northern Star”
Company name: 'it was Northern Star', the insurer he names when the form asks about the company.
“MAN: It was stolen . . . but . .”
The claim reason is that the bike was 'stolen', a past participle describing what happened to it.
“MAN: Simon Paynter.WOMAN: Could you spell the surname please?MAN: P-A-Y-N-T-E-R”
Surname is spelled 'P-A-Y-N-T-E-R', so Paynter goes in the box, not the common spelling Painter.
“WOMAN: OK thank you . . . And what relationship is he to you?MAN: He's my brother-in-law”
Relationship noun: 'He's my brother-in-law', a hyphenated compound that fits one word box.
“WOMAN: Social use (murmuring). Will you be using it to travel to work?MAN: Yes . . . sometimes”
Purpose of use: he confirms 'Yes' when asked if he will use the bike to 'travel to work'.
“I'm getting a couple of quotes coming up on the computer now . . . and the best bet looks like being with a company called Red Flag”
The best quote comes from 'a company called Red Flag', so that name fills the insurer gap.
“WOMAN: And that comes out at $450 per year . .”
Annual premium is '$450 per year'; the dollar sign is printed, so only 450 is written.
