Correct Answer: Whether to attend a local gardening workshop.
Why this is correct: Speaker A mentions a poster about a greenhouse gardening workshop. Both speakers talk about timing, cost, and interest. This shows they are deciding if they should attend.
Tips: For main idea questions, focus on what they talk about most.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Problems with last summer's harvest.: They mention last summer, but only as a small example. The main talk is not about harvest problems.
- Helping family members on the weekend.: Helping a sister is mentioned briefly. It is only about scheduling, not the main topic.
- Affordable activities in Medicine Hat.: They talk about cost, but not about many activities. The focus is one workshop.
Correct Answer: Saturday morning.
Why this is correct: Speaker A clearly states the day and time. He says it runs from nine to noon, which is morning.
Tips: Time questions often include a correction. Listen carefully after confusion.
Why the other options are wrong:
- All day Saturday.: Speaker B thought it was all day, but that idea was corrected.
- Friday evening.: There is no mention of Friday evening anywhere.
- Sunday afternoon.: Sunday afternoon is never discussed.
Correct Answer: Concern it might not offer new information.
Why this is correct: Speaker B worries the workshop is for beginners. He does not want to sit through things he already knows.
Tips: For hesitation questions, focus on the first concern mentioned.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Dislike of the workshop location.: He never says he dislikes the location. The location is fine for him.

- The cost of the registration fee.: Cost is mentioned later, and he is happy with it.
Correct Answer: Twenty dollars.

Tips: Write down numbers quickly so you do not mix them up.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Fifteen dollars.: Fifteen dollars is never mentioned.
- Fifty dollars.: Speaker B assumed fifty, but that was wrong.
- Ten dollars.: Ten dollars is not stated in the conversation.
Correct Answer: They are leaning toward going but haven't fully committed.
Why this is correct: Speaker B says he will probably join if conditions are good. This shows interest, but not a final decision.
Tips: Inference questions need you to judge feeling, not just facts.
Why the other options are wrong:
- They are more interested in socialising than gardening.: He jokes about coffee, but still talks about the workshop seriously.
- They have decided not to attend under any circumstances.: He never says he will not go. He stays open to it.
- They are excited and already registered.: He does not say he registered already.
