What this part tests
This part is tested with One Choice (Q21–26). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 21–26: 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 we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.”
A fits: the report still needs 'something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats'.
“But not the piece of string to hold up in the air! Didn’t Mr Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind.”
A fits: they must not forget 'the piece of string', which Mr Blake complained about being left behind.
“Yeah. It was clear, but I don’t think we need all these details of what time we left and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.”
C fits: they agree they don't need 'all these details of what time we left ... and how we divided up the different research tasks'.
“So let’s begin with how we measured wave speed. I was surprised how straightforward that was.”
B fits: she was 'surprised how straightforward' measuring wave speed was, so it was easier than expected.
“the place I started it from was down on the beach, then I realised I should have gone up higher to get better visibility”
B fits: he started 'down on the beach' but 'should have gone up higher to get better visibility'.
“I’ll make my amendments using those, then I can scan it into our report.”
B fits: she will 'make my amendments using those, then ... scan it into our report', so the drawing is revised then scanned.
