Correct Answer: Who will take each level of the bunk bed.

Why this is correct: Their first practical decision is who will take the top and lower bunks.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Where to put the furniture in their room.: They are choosing bunks, not positioning furniture.
  • Who will make the beds each morning.: They are not assigning bed-making chores.
  • Whether another student will share their room.: No third roommate is being considered.

Correct Answer: The lower bunk.

Why this is correct: Roger is happy to take the top bunk and offers Terry the lower one.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Both bunks on alternate nights.: Alternating between both bunks is not proposed.
  • The upper bunk.: Roger takes the top rather than offering it to Terry.
  • Neither bunk.: Roger explicitly offers Terry a bunk.

Correct Answer: He fell off a top bunk more than once as a child.

Why this is correct: Terry says he fell off more than once as a child, explaining his concern.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • He's afraid of the room being too dark.: Darkness is not the reason he gives.
  • He doesn't want Roger to make fun of him.: He does not mention being mocked.
  • He's too short to climb the ladder.: He does not mention being unable to climb the ladder.

Correct Answer: Chemistry.

Why this is correct: Roger says Chemistry 121 is required for him. Terry replies that he still has to take it too, so both need the course.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Agriculture.: Only Roger identifies as an Aggie; agriculture is not the shared required course.
  • Veterinary science.: Roger considers becoming a vet, but this is not their shared course.
  • Biology.: The shared course they name is chemistry, not biology.

Correct Answer: Register for the same course sections.

Why this is correct: They agree to coordinate registration so they can join the same sections.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Choose the same major.: Their academic tracks remain different.
  • Meet in the cafeteria every day.: The cafeteria meeting is arranged for registration morning, not every day.
  • Exchange notes every day.: Borrowing notes is raised, but daily note exchange is not agreed.
