Correct Answer: Seeing an elk during their morning jog.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says they have never seen anything like that so close. Both speakers describe a huge elk near the trail during their jog. This shows the main topic is the elk encounter.

Tips: Focus on what they talk about the longest, not small details.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Their plans to change their jogging schedule.: They mention starting later only at the end. It is not the main topic of the talk.
  • The best jogging trails in Jasper.: They do not compare or describe many trails. They focus on one moment with an animal.
  • Problems with the weather this week.: The weather is mentioned briefly, not as a problem. It is not the main focus.

Correct Answer: Near a trail by Maligne Canyon.

Why this is correct: Speaker A clearly names the place. He says it was near the Maligne Canyon turnoff. This matches the location in the answer.

Tips: Write down place names when you hear them.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Outside their apartment building.: They were jogging in a park, not near their home. No apartment is mentioned.
  • In the centre of town near a café.: They go to a café later. The elk was not in town.
  • Beside a frozen lake.: There is no talk about a lake. They only mention the trail.

Correct Answer: Nervous but amazed.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says he was nervous. He also says he was amazed by the moment. These two feelings match the answer.

Tips: Match feeling words exactly, not just the general idea.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Bored because it wasn't exciting.: He does not say he was bored. He says his heart was racing.
  • Angry about having to stop running.: He never says he was angry. He sounds careful and impressed.
  • Confident it would run away quickly.: He does not say it would run away. He says it stayed calm.

Correct Answer: They wanted to avoid frightening the elk.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they slowly backed up. He explains they followed park signs. This suggests safety and not scaring the animal.

Tips: When you infer, connect actions with reasons.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • They were tired from jogging.: They do not say they were tired. They talk about safety.
  • They were waiting for other joggers.: No other joggers are mentioned.
  • They wanted to take photos.: They never mention taking photos.

Correct Answer: Get coffee at Tim Hortons.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says he could use a coffee. He names Tim Hortons on Connaught Drive. This clearly states their plan.

Tips: Plans usually come at the end of conversations.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Go home and rest.: They do not say they are going home. They plan to stop somewhere.
  • Continue running on a different trail.: They do not plan more running. The jog is finished.
  • Report the elk to park staff.: They never mention telling park staff.
