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.
“It’s hard to see through people’s heads, isn’t it?”
A is right because the speaker admits 'it's hard to see through people's heads', meaning you cannot know what customers think.
“Yeah, but it looks like there’s a whole range of … areas of work that we hadn’t even thought of – like fashion journalism, for instance.”
B fits the discovery of 'a whole range of areas of work that we hadn't even thought of - like fashion journalism'.
“It was a bit harsh, though!”
A matches the reaction 'It was a bit harsh, though!', criticising how bluntly the person was treated.
“Well, we had numerous talks on careers, which was good, but none of them were very inspiring. They could have asked more people like today’s speaker to talk to us.”
C is correct: the careers talks were 'not very inspiring', and more speakers like today's should have been invited.
“Well. I promised myself that I’d go through this course and keep an open mind till the end.”
B fits the promise to 'go through this course and keep an open mind till the end'.
“I’m prepared for that, aren’t you?”
A matches the acceptance of a tough industry, since the speaker says 'I'm prepared for that, aren't you?'
