Tips: For main idea questions, focus on what most of the conversation is about.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Problems finding parking near the lake.: They mention parking only briefly. The talk is mostly about the sunset, not parking problems.
• Plans to go out for coffee afterward.: Coffee is only an idea after the sunset. It is not the main topic.
• Whether winter weather in Sarnia is too harsh.: They mention cold weather, but it is not the main focus. The sunset experience is the focus.

Correct Answer: He was concerned about the cold weather.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says it was freezing by Canatara Park. This made him unsure about going.

Tips: Listen carefully to why someone hesitates or changes a plan.

Why the other options are wrong:

• He had errands to run before stores closed.: He talks about the LCBO later. This is after the sunset, not before going.
• He thought the sunset would be crowded.: He does not say it would be crowded. He worries about the cold instead.
• He didn't want to drive across town.: He mentions driving, but not as a reason to skip the trip.

Correct Answer: The discomfort became less important to him.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says his hands went numb. Then he says he forgot about the cold when the colours changed.

Tips: Inference questions need you to connect feelings with actions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• He was mainly focused on taking photos.: He does not talk about taking photos. He talks about watching the colours.
• He felt annoyed by other people at the park.: He does not sound annoyed by people. He sounds impressed by the sunset.
• He wished he had stayed home instead.: He never says he wished to stay home. He enjoyed the moment.

Correct Answer: He decided not to complete his original errand.

Why this is correct: Speaker B planned to go to the LCBO. He says he bailed because the sunset changed his mood.

Tips: Listen for verbs that show stopping or canceling plans.

Why the other options are wrong:

• He continued on to the LCBO.: He says he bailed. This means he did not go to the LCBO.
• He met friends near the picnic shelter.: He does not mention meeting friends. He talks only about errands.
• He went to Tim Hortons for a coffee.: Going to Tim Hortons was Speaker A's idea, not Speaker B's action.

Correct Answer: He complains, but is likely to go again.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says he will complain if it is cold. He also says he will probably show up anyway.

Tips: When answers seem mixed, choose the one that matches both sides.

Why the other options are wrong:

• He prefers seeing sunsets alone.: He never says he wants to go alone. He talks about going together.
• He is eager to make it a daily routine.: He says he would not go every night. This is not a daily routine.
• He only wants to go during warm weather.: He complains about cold, but does not refuse to go in cold weather.
