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 a significant number of people complained about the increasing number of heavy vehicles using our local roads to avoid traffic elsewhere.”
C is right: people complained about 'the increasing number of heavy vehicles using our local roads to avoid traffic elsewhere'.
“but overtaking can be a problem so we’re going to add a bit on the side to make it wider”
A fits the plan to make the road wider, because 'overtaking can be a problem' and extra width will help.
“but the Highways Department have told us that it would be dangerous to have a pedestrian crossing where we’d originally planned it as there’s a bend in the road there.”
B matches the refusal to put a crossing at the planned spot, since 'there's a bend in the road there'.
“On Station Road near the station and level crossing, drivers can face quite long waits if the level crossing’s closed, and we’ve now got signs up requesting them not to leave their engines running at that time.”
B is correct: signs now ask drivers not to 'leave their engines running' while waiting at the level crossing.
