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.
“they’re pleased that they have so many different things to do, which means they never get bored.”
A fits: staff are 'pleased that they have so many different things to do, which means they never get bored'.
“but some of you’ll need to remove your rings and bracelets – just put them somewhere safe for today, and remember to leave them at home tomorrow, as they can be a safety hazard.”
A fits: rings and bracelets must be removed because 'they can be a safety hazard', so safety is the reason.
“Now it’s going to be a busy day for you all today – we don’t have any tables free for this evening, and only a few for lunch.”
C fits: 'we don't have any tables free for this evening, and only a few for lunch', so the restaurant is nearly full.
“Then I think there are two of you here who are under 18 – that’s Emma and Jake, isn’t it? Right, so for you two, the meat slicer is out of bounds.”
C fits: for the under-18s 'the meat slicer is out of bounds', so they cannot use it.
