Correct Answer: Items bought at a weekend farmers market.

Why this is correct: Speaker B talks about going to the farmers market and lists many foods. The talk stays on what was bought and how it was. This shows the main topic is shopping at the market.

Tips: Find what they talk about the most, not small side details.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Planning a brunch menu together.: They do not plan the brunch together. Speaker B already decided the menu alone.
  • Their favourite coffee shops.: They only mention coffee once. They do not compare or discuss coffee shops.
  • Finding cheap food in Vancouver.: Prices are mentioned briefly. The talk is not about finding cheap food.

Correct Answer: At the Granville Island market.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they came back from Granville Island. They also say the farmers market was buzzing. This clearly shows the food came from that market.

Tips: Location questions often have a clear place name early.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • From an online delivery service.: There is no talk about ordering online. Speaker B went there in person.
  • At a downtown mall.: They do not mention a mall. They talk about a market by the water.
  • At a neighbourhood grocery store.: This was not a regular grocery store. It was a farmers market.

Correct Answer: Pancakes for brunch.

Why this is correct: Speaker B explains the plan for tomorrow. They clearly say pancakes with strawberries. This tells you how the strawberries will be used.

Tips: When you hear plans, connect the food to the action.

Correct Answer: A bit disappointed but understanding.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says they feel lazy but wish they had gone. Then they accept going another time. This shows mild regret, not anger.

Tips: Feeling questions depend on tone and word choice.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Uninterested in farmers markets.: Speaker A likes the market and wishes they went. They are not uninterested.
  • Angry that Speaker B went alone.: Speaker A is not angry. The tone is friendly and calm.

Correct Answer: It was relaxing and enjoyable.

Tips: Inference questions often use summary comments at the end.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • It was disappointing due to the weather.: The weather was good, not bad. It helped the experience.
  • It was rushed and tiring.: Speaker B does not sound rushed. They went early and felt relaxed.
