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.
“Almost all of them have left their mark, generally by adding new rooms, like the ballroom and conservatory, or by demolishing others.”
B fits: nearly every owner 'left their mark', usually by 'adding new rooms' such as the ballroom or by demolishing others.
“He broke off contact with his former political allies, and hosted meetings of creative and literary people, like painters and poets.”
C matches the owner who 'broke off contact with his former political allies' and instead hosted painters and poets.
“Photographs of course don’t give much of an idea, so instead, as you go round the house, you’ll see volunteers dressed up as nineteenth-century servants, going about their work.”
C is right: because photographs 'don't give much of an idea', volunteers dress as nineteenth-century servants to bring the house to life.
“Our latest addition is child-sized tractors, that you can drive around the grounds.”
B fits the 'latest addition' for children, which is 'child-sized tractors that you can drive around the grounds'.
