What this part tests
This part is tested with One Choice (Q11–14). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
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.

B fits: the holiday starts in Heysham, where 'your tour manager will meet you'.
“You have five nights in the hotel, and the price covers five breakfasts and dinners, and lunch on the three days when there are organised trips”

“If you make a booking then need to change the start date, for example because of illness, you’re welcome to change to an alternative date or a different tour, for a small administrative fee.”
