Tips: Focus on what the whole conversation is about, not small details.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Problems with their neighbours.: They never talk about neighbours. The transcript only talks about the kitchen and renovation details.
• Buying a new townhouse in Markham.: They already live in a Markham townhouse. They discuss changing the kitchen, not buying a new home.
• Changing their daily routines.: They do not talk about daily routines. They focus on renovation plans and costs.

Correct Answer: At a Home Depot Canada store.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they checked Home Depot Canada in Markham last weekend. He clearly says there was a sale on cabinets there.

Tips: Write down store names as you listen. They are often the answer.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Online through a contractor.: Speaker B does not mention buying online. He talks about visiting a store in Markham.
• At a custom kitchen showroom.: He does not mention a custom showroom. He says stock cabinets from Home Depot are fine.
• At ServiceOntario.: ServiceOntario is never mentioned in the conversation.

Correct Answer: Tile.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they are sticking with tile, not wood. Speaker A agrees and explains it is more practical in Ontario.

Tips: When speakers say not this, listen for what they choose instead.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Laminate.: Laminate is never discussed. They only compare tile and wood.
• Carpet.: Carpet is not mentioned at all. It is not a kitchen choice here.
• Hardwood.: They clearly say not wood for the floor.

Correct Answer: Relieved and positive.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says they feel relieved after talking it through. The tone is calm and positive about the plan.

Tips: For feelings questions, listen near the end of the conversation.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Upset about the renovation cost.: Speaker A does not sound upset. He says he feels relieved.
• Still confused about the next steps.: He is not confused. He says the plan sounds clear.
• Worried about selling the townhouse.: They never talk about selling the townhouse.

Correct Answer: To keep costs lower.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says moving the sink would cost more. Speaker A agrees that keeping it simple helps the budget.

Tips: When you hear cost or budget, it often explains the reason.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To finish the renovation faster before winter.: They do not mention winter timing for speed. They talk about money.
• Because the contractor advised against it.: No contractor advice is mentioned about the layout.
• Because they dislike the current sink.: They do not dislike the sink. They only mention cost.
