Tips: For main idea questions, listen for what most of the talk is about.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Comparing life in two Canadian cities.: They mention cities, but only to explain how Maya feels. They are not comparing the cities in detail.
• Whether they should travel together in September.: September travel is only a small idea. It is not the main topic of the talk.
• Problems with finding housing in their friend's new city.: Housing is mentioned briefly. It is not the main focus of the discussion.

Correct Answer: She accepted a promotion with her employer.

Why this is correct: The friend who received Maya's call clearly says the move was for an RBC analyst role. the friend suggesting a care package also calls it a promotion. This directly explains why she moved.

Tips: When a reason is asked, find the sentence that explains why.

Why the other options are wrong:

• She decided to change careers entirely.: The transcript never says she changed careers. It says she took an analyst role.
• She was transferred because her Vancouver office closed.: There is no mention of an office closing. This idea is not in the conversation.
• She wanted to be closer to family in the Maritimes.: Family is never given as a reason for the move.

Correct Answer: She is proud of the move but quietly struggling with it.

Why this is correct: They say she sounds upbeat but sensitive. They also say she is proud, yet missing her people. This shows mixed feelings.

Tips: For inference questions, combine feelings from different lines.

Why the other options are wrong:

• She regrets moving and wants to return immediately.: She talks about visiting, not escaping forever. She does not say she regrets it.
• She is completely settled and has no doubts.: The speakers clearly doubt she is fully settled.
• She is mostly excited about the weather and lifestyle.: She complains about the weather. She is not excited about it.

Correct Answer: They do not set a date and wait until things stabilise.

Why this is correct: They talk about possible times but do not choose one. The last line says they will figure out a visit later. This means no date is set.

Tips: The final answer often comes in the last two lines.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They decide to book flights for the summer.: They do not book anything for summer. It is only mentioned as an idea.
• They agree to visit during October Thanksgiving.: Thanksgiving is her idea, not a shared plan.
• They cancel the idea of visiting altogether.: They still want to visit. They do not cancel the idea.

Correct Answer: To show support while acknowledging she misses home.

Why this is correct: The friend suggesting a care package suggests items from home. These items remind her of Vancouver. the friend who received Maya's call says it can be supportive.

Tips: Ask yourself what feeling the action shows.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To convince their friend to move back home.: They never say they want her to move back.
• To help her save money on everyday items.: The items are symbolic, not to save money.
• To celebrate her permanent decision to stay in the new city.: They do not say her stay is permanent.
