What this part tests

This part is tested with One Choice (Q21–23). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 21–23: 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.

Q21B
“I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years”

B: she has worked 'in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years', so that is her job.

Q22A
“You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year”

A: the office pays the course cost, but she 'would have to take unpaid leave' and cannot afford 'no salary for a whole year'.

Q23C
“Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course – that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work – or you could do what we call a 'modular' course”

C: two options remain — 'the part-time course – that would be over two years' or 'what we call a modular course'.
