Tips: First questions often ask about the overall topic, so focus on the big picture.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Finding a new coffee shop near work.: They only mention Tim Hortons once. The talk is not about finding a new coffee shop.
• Their regular work schedule at the office.: They do not discuss work hours or schedules. Work is only mentioned to explain who was on the team.
• Planning a trip to Regina together.: They mention Regina as another city teams came from. They do not plan a trip there.

Correct Answer: At the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.

Why this is correct: Speaker B clearly names the location. He says the event was at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.

Tips: When you hear a clear place name, trust it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• At an outdoor curling rink.: There is no mention of an outdoor rink. The speaker names a specific curling centre.
• At a rink in Regina.: Regina is only mentioned as where other teams came from. The event was not held there.
• At a community centre downtown.: The speaker does not say community centre downtown. He gives a different exact place.

Correct Answer: Happy, even though it was tiring.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says he was tired but happy. He also says he loved it, even though he was exhausted.

Tips: Focus on feeling words to understand attitude questions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Upset about losing every game.: He does not say he was upset. He says he was really happy.
• Relieved it was cancelled early.: The event was not cancelled. It ran all day Saturday.
• Disappointed with the organisation.: He never complains about organisation. He describes it as friendly and fun.

Correct Answer: They won one of their games.

Why this is correct: Speaker B explains the result clearly. He says they won one game and were happy about it.

Tips: Do not assume success means first place. Listen for exact results.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They finished first overall.: He says they did not win any prizes. That means they did not finish first.
• They received a sportsmanship award.: There is no mention of any award. Only games are discussed.
• They won the final match.: He does not say they won the final match. He only says one game.

Correct Answer: They intend to join the bonspiel again next year.

Why this is correct: Speaker B talks about the future clearly. He says he has already put his name down for next year's bonspiel.

Tips: Inference questions often use future plans said clearly by the speaker.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They will practise every weekend.: He does not talk about weekly practice plans. Practice is only mentioned once in the past.
• They plan to stop curling after this year.: He does not plan to stop curling. He wants to do it again.
• They want to organise the next event.: He does not say he will organise the event. He only plans to join.
