Questions 21–25: 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.

“And then people kept saying the same thing over and over, like ‘Cold, isn’t it?’”
A fits: people 'kept saying the same thing over and over, like Cold, isn't it?', so the dialogue was repetitive.

“Yes, and he had this really long speech, with the stage all dark except for one spotlight – and then that stuck somehow so it was shining on the wrong side of the stage … but anyway we got that fixed, thank goodness.”
