Tips: Focus on what they talk about most, not one short comment.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Shopping for kitchen supplies in town.: They do not discuss buying kitchen tools. They only mention jars briefly, not shopping plans.
• Preparing food for a family holiday dinner.: They mention Thanksgiving, but not a full dinner. Jam is the focus, not a holiday meal.
• Finding better hiking trails near Corner Brook.: They mention trails and places, but not hiking. The purpose is picking berries.

Correct Answer: Saturday, with Sunday as a backup.

Why this is correct: Speaker A suggests Saturday first. Later, they agree to switch to Sunday if the weather is bad.

Tips: Listen to the final decision, not the first idea.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Early Friday morning.: Friday is never mentioned in the conversation.
• Sunday afternoon for sure.: They do not say Sunday for sure. Sunday is only a backup plan.
• Sometime next weekend.: They talk about this weekend, not next weekend.

Correct Answer: To explain why making jam is important to her.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says she promised her mum jam for Thanksgiving. This shows a personal reason and pressure to make jam.

Tips: When you hear a holiday, ask why it matters.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To suggest delaying the trip until October.: She does not suggest waiting until October. She wants to go soon.
• To change the plan to partridgeberry picking only.: She still agrees to pick berries together. She does not change the plan.
• To complain about family gatherings.: She does not complain about family events. She talks about a promise.

Correct Answer: It may be physically tiring for her.

Why this is correct: Speaker B talks about her knees and being sore after picking. This shows concern about physical strain.

Tips: Personal problems often explain concerns.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The drive will be too long.: She says the drive is worth it. Distance is not her worry.
• They won't find enough jars.: She mentions jars, but not as a big problem.
• The berries may not be ripe yet.: They say berries are already popping, not unripe.

Correct Answer: Positive, even though the conditions may not be perfect.

Why this is correct: Speaker A agrees to go despite weather risks. He also talks warmly about homemade jam and summer.

Tips: The ending often shows true feelings.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Uninterested unless the weather improves.: He does not refuse because of weather. He wants to go anyway.
• Frustrated by the short season.: He mentions the short season, but not with frustration.
• Doubtful that it will be worth the effort.: He clearly thinks the effort is worth it.
