This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–10: Note Completion
Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the transcript, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.
“No, I don’t have any, but the floor would need cleaning.”
A singular noun is needed as the cleaning surface, and the caller says 'the floor would need cleaning'.
“Actually, I hardly ever use that, but can you do the fridge?”
A singular noun follows 'the', and the client asks 'can you do the fridge?'
“It wouldn’t be much, just my shirts for work that week.”
A plural noun is needed for the laundry, and the client mentions 'just my shirts for work that week'.
“So for example, if the inside of your windows need cleaning, we could do that.”
A plural noun follows 'inside of your', and the service can clean 'the inside of your windows'.
“But would you be able to do something about the balcony?”
A singular noun follows 'the', and the client asks about cleaning 'the balcony'.
“And the same thing if you need an electrician.”
A job noun is required after 'need an', and the company can arrange 'an electrician'.
“And I don’t know if this is of interest to you, but we also offer a special vacuum cleaning system which can improve the indoor air quality of your home by capturing up to 99% of all the dust in the air. So if you’re troubled by allergies, this can make a big difference.”
An uncountable noun is needed, and the vacuum captures 'up to 99% of all the dust in the air'.
“So all our cleaners are very carefully selected. When they apply to us, they have to undergo a security check with the police to make sure they don’t have any sort of criminal background, and, of course, they have to provide references as well.”
A body is named for the security check, and cleaners 'undergo a security check with the police'.
“Then if we think they might be suitable for the job, we give them training for it. That lasts for two weeks so it’s very thorough, and at the end of it, they have a test.”
A noun follows 'give them', and suitable cleaners 'give them training for it', lasting two weeks.
“we ask all our clients to complete a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us.”
A singular noun follows 'complete a', and clients 'complete a review of their performance after every visit'.
