Tips: Focus on the main topic that repeats through the whole conversation.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Plans for hosting visiting family members.: They mention parents visiting, but this is only a concern. The main topic is not hosting family.
• Their work schedule changes for next week.: They never talk about changing work schedules. Work is only mentioned as background.
• How the Tidal Bore affects tourism in Moncton.: They talk about watching the Tidal Bore, not tourism effects. Tourism is never discussed.

Correct Answer: Watched the Tidal Bore with a coffee.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they grabbed a coffee and watched the Bore before work. This clearly matches watching it with a coffee.

Tips: Listen carefully to past tense verbs about earlier events.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Met Speaker A at the boardwalk.: They did not meet Speaker A. Speaker A says they missed it.
• Drove to Fundy National Park before work.: Speaker B did not go to Fundy that day. That trip is only a future idea.
• Went hiking near Alma.: There is no hiking earlier that day. Hiking is only discussed as a possibility.

Correct Answer: They have family visiting the next day.

Why this is correct: Speaker B explains they are unsure because their parents are visiting on Sunday. This makes them hesitant to commit.

Tips: When you hear hesitation, listen for the reason right after.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They expect the park to be overcrowded.: They never mention crowds. Overcrowding is not discussed.
• They dislike driving long distances.: They do not say they dislike driving. Distance is mentioned but accepted.
• They already visited Fundy recently.: They say they went last fall, but this is not the reason for hesitation.

Correct Answer: Deciding after checking the weather on Friday.

Why this is correct: Speaker A suggests deciding Friday after seeing the forecast. Speaker B agrees to this plan.

Tips: Listen for the final decision or agreement near the end.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Inviting Speaker B's parents to join them.: They never invite the parents. The parents are only a scheduling concern.
• Staying overnight near Fundy National Park.: They talk about a day trip, not staying overnight.
• Cancelling the trip and staying in Moncton.: They do not cancel the trip yet. They wait to decide.

Correct Answer: Cautiously optimistic if conditions are right.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they are leaning toward going. They add conditions about rain, showing cautious optimism.

Tips: For attitude questions, focus on adjectives and soft language.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Uninterested and ready to cancel.: Speaker B does not cancel. They say they might go.
• Disappointed they missed the Tidal Bore.: Speaker B did not miss the Tidal Bore. Speaker A missed it.
• Confident it will happen no matter the weather.: Speaker B clearly sets limits based on weather.
