What this part tests

This part is tested with One Choice (Q11–11). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 11–11: 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.

Q11B
“the building you're in now which contains this main lounge, the dining room, the recreation room, the kitchen and the offices was part of the original old house, built in the 1840s to be used by the family of George Smith”

B: the original house was 'built in the 1840s to be used by the family of George Smith', so it is the old family house.
