Tips: Focus on the main idea, not the opening small talk.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Ways to save money after the holidays.: They mention money only briefly. The main talk is about planning snowshoeing, not saving money.
• Travelling to different towns in Quebec.: They do not plan to travel to other towns. Speaker A clearly says it is not far away.
• Problems caused by winter weather in Sherbrooke.: Winter problems start the talk, but they move on to planning an activity.

Correct Answer: Parc du Mont-Bellevue.

Why this is correct: Speaker A names a specific beginner trail. The park name is said clearly in the conversation.

Tips: When you hear a name, check if it is confirmed or corrected.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A remote park in the Eastern Townships.: The speaker says it is a beginner trail, not a remote park.
• A resort near Magog.: Speaker B mentions Magog only as a wrong guess.
• A private trail owned by Speaker A's cousin.: The cousin gives advice, but does not own a trail.

Correct Answer: Still uncertain but more positive than before.

Why this is correct: At the end, Speaker B says they are still nervous. They also say they are kind of looking forward to it.

Tips: For feelings questions, listen to the final opinion.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Worried mainly about the cold weather.: They do not worry mainly about cold. They worry about energy and the activity.
• Completely confident and excited.: Speaker B is not fully confident. They say they are still nervous.
• Uninterested and planning to cancel.: They agree to go Saturday, so they are not canceling.

Correct Answer: Keeping the outing short with an option to leave early.

Why this is correct: Speaker A offers to keep it short and leave if needed. Speaker B says they appreciate that.

Tips: Look for the moment when hesitation turns into agreement.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Advice from Speaker A's cousin.: The cousin gives advice, but that is not what changes Speaker B's mind.
• Improved ploughing on their street.: Street ploughing is mentioned earlier and does not affect the decision.
• The promise of buying new snowshoes later.: They talk about renting, not buying new snowshoes later.

Correct Answer: To avoid spending too much money.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they are watching their spending. Renting means they do not need to buy anything.

Tips: Connect cost words with actions like rent or buy.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To test different brands before buying.: They never talk about testing brands.
• Because rentals are required at the park.: There is no rule saying rentals are required.
• Because the store is closer than the park.: The store location is not the reason.
