Correct Answer: Whether and how to visit a new farmers market nearby.
Why this is correct: Speaker A talks about checking out a new farmers market. Both speakers discuss when to go and how to get there. This shows they are planning a visit together.
Tips: Ask yourself what the whole conversation is about, not one small detail.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Problems caused by construction in downtown Ottawa.: Construction is mentioned, but only as one problem. It is not the main topic of the talk.
- The best places to park near Rideau Street.: Parking comes up, but they also talk about buses and timing. The talk is wider than parking.
- Their sister's experience living in Sandy Hill.: The sister is mentioned briefly. The conversation is not about her life in Sandy Hill.
Correct Answer: Late morning, around eleven.
Why this is correct: Speaker A suggests a time after hearing Speaker B's concerns. They clearly agree on a new time together. The final plan is around eleven.
Tips: The answer is often near the end when plans are confirmed.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Right when the market opens.: This was the first idea, but Speaker B did not like going that early.
- Early afternoon after lunch.: They never say early afternoon or after lunch.
- Another weekend instead.: They still plan to go the same day, not another weekend.
Correct Answer: Interested but slightly cautious.
Why this is correct: Speaker B says they are not against the market. They also mention worries about parking and cold weather. This shows interest with caution.
Tips: Mixed feelings usually mean interested but cautious.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Strongly opposed because of parking issues.: Speaker B is not strongly opposed. They say they are not against it.
- Completely indifferent to the idea.: Speaker B clearly has opinions and concerns, so not indifferent.
- Overly excited to try it immediately.: Speaker B is not overly excited and hesitates several times.
Correct Answer: Difficulty finding parking due to construction.
Why this is correct: Speaker B directly complains about parking problems. They also connect it to construction downtown. This matches the concern in the answer.
Tips: When asked about concerns, focus on negative statements.
Why the other options are wrong:
- The quality of the produce.: They never question the quality of the produce.
- The distance from Sandy Hill.: Distance from Sandy Hill is not described as a problem.
- The lack of public transit options.: Public transit is mentioned as an option, not a lack.
Correct Answer: They want a more relaxed visit and to avoid hassles.
Why this is correct: Speaker B suggests going later for a relaxed time. Parking stress and cold weather push them to change plans. They agree on an easier visit.
Tips: Look for why plans change, not just what changes.
Why the other options are wrong:
- They realise the market opens later than expected.: They never say the market opens later.
- They are waiting for Speaker B's sister to join them.: The sister is not joining them.
- They decide the weather will improve in the afternoon.: They do not say the weather will improve later.
