Tips: Focus on the first speaker to understand the main topic.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To review the results of last year's winter tourism campaign.: Marketing is discussed as a possible response to the slow season; the speakers do not review results of a completed advertising campaign.
• To decide whether to close the tourism office during winter.: The response to the quiet season is new visitor activities and partnerships, not closing the tourism office.
• To plan a summer music festival in Corner Brook.: They do not talk about summer festivals. The focus is winter and indoor events.

Correct Answer: Promoting weekend winter experience packages with local hotels.

Why this is correct: The person on the left proposes weekend ski packages with local hotels, bundling lift tickets and accommodation to simplify trip planning.

Tips: Link the initial proposal to the exact source label.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Building an indoor water park near Marble Mountain.: An indoor water park is not proposed.
• Offering free bus transportation from St. John's to Corner Brook.: Free transport from St. John's is not offered.
• Creating a winter sports training academy for tourists.: No sports training academy is suggested.

Correct Answer: Last winter was mild and Tourism Newfoundland and Labrador warns about unpredictable snow.

Why this is correct: The person on the right worries that a mild season and unpredictable snow could leave ski packages with no buyers.

Tips: When you hear a concern, ask why the speaker feels that way.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Marble Mountain may close permanently.: Permanent closure of Marble Mountain is not reported.
• Marble Mountain is too far from Corner Brook.: Distance from Corner Brook is not the objection.
• Skiing is too expensive for most visitors.: The objection is unreliable snow, not excessive ski prices.

Correct Answer: Town-council funding leaves little room for new programming.

Why this is correct: The person on the right describes limited town-council funding and little room to spend on new programming, so every dollar must count.

Tips: Listen for the practical spending restriction, without adding a new funding source.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The provincial government has frozen all tourism grants.: No provincial freeze on every tourism grant is stated.
• Local businesses refused to contribute to the tourism fund.: Local businesses are potential partners, not reported to have refused contributions.
• The committee spent its entire budget on summer events.: No claim is made that summer events consumed the whole budget.

Correct Answer: Limited off-season advertising may leave people unaware of Corner Brook as a winter destination.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre says their off-season advertising has been limited and questions whether people know Corner Brook is a winter destination.

Tips: Decide what the question asks for and choose the option supported by the discussion.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Hotels may not have enough winter rooms to offer packages.: The person in the centre does not raise a shortage of hotel rooms.
• Print adverts may be reaching the wrong age group.: The age group reached by print adverts is not the concern stated.
• Television adverts may be too costly to produce.: Television production costs are not discussed.

Correct Answer: The costs must stay reasonable.

Why this is correct: The person on the left supports adding cultural events as long as the costs stay reasonable.

Tips: Conditions often come after support words like agree.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The person on the left wants to see a completed business plan from an outside consultant.: An outside consultant's completed business plan is not required.
• The person on the left wants approval from the provincial tourism minister.: Approval from a provincial minister is not required.
• Indoor events must attract visitors from outside Newfoundland.: The person on the left does not require visitors to come from outside Newfoundland.

Correct Answer: Indoor cultural events such as music nights and food festivals.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre asks for options that work in a warmer winter, and the person on the left proposes indoor music and food events as a backup if snow does not come.

Tips: Connect the answer to the problem in the preceding question.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Snow-making equipment guaranteed by Marble Mountain.: Guaranteed snow-making equipment is not the proposed backup.
• A town-funded ski-pass discount.: A town-funded ski discount is not proposed as the snow contingency.
• An outdoor winter sports academy.: An outdoor academy is not the indoor cultural backup suggested.

Correct Answer: Follow up on the discussion.

Why this is correct: The person on the left proposes following up on the discussion. The closing does not specify a pilot, a March review or a final launch.

Tips: The next step is often stated near the end.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Cancelling all winter tourism efforts and focusing on summer instead.: Winter tourism efforts are not cancelled.
• Hiring a full-time tourism coordinator for the off-season.: Hiring a full-time coordinator is not proposed.
• Applying for emergency funding from the federal government.: Emergency federal funding is not requested.
