Tips: For main issue questions, focus on the opening lines.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Whether to increase the neighbourhood watch patrol schedule.: The neighbourhood watch's budget is mentioned, but increasing its patrol schedule is not the proposal being weighed; the proposed response is cameras at alley entrances.
• Whether to apply for a federal safety grant.: Funding is only discussed for cameras. The group considers installation, storage and maintenance costs within a tight budget; it does not propose a federal safety-grant application.
• Whether to hire private security guards for the neighbourhood.: The proposed system is cameras, possibly only two as a pilot. Hiring private security guards is not proposed.

Correct Answer: Other neighbourhoods in Alberta have seen fewer incidents after installing cameras.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre cites fewer incidents in other Alberta neighbourhoods after cameras were installed.

Tips: Follow the scope of the question and distinguish the stated point from other suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The neighbourhood watch group has surplus budget to spend this year.: The budget is tight, not described as surplus.
• The City of Lethbridge is offering free camera equipment to neighbourhoods.: No free city equipment is offered.
• The police have recommended cameras as a condition for continued patrols.: Police patrols are not conditioned on installing cameras.

Correct Answer: Privacy issues and the higher-than-expected cost.

Why this is correct: The person on the right first talks about being uneasy about privacy. The person on the right also mentions city by-law guidance. This shows the person on the right's first concern clearly. The person on the right later cites higher-than-expected system costs against a tight budget.

Tips: Follow the scope of the question and distinguish the stated point from other suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Low volunteer interest and limited camera technology.: Volunteer interest and technical limits are not the person on the right's two concerns.
• Noise from the equipment and difficulty with installation.: Noise and installation difficulty are not the concerns identified.
• Resistance from local businesses and parking restrictions.: Business resistance and parking rules are not the concerns identified.

Correct Answer: On the alley entrances only.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre limits coverage to alley entrances, where the break-ins are occurring.

Tips: Follow the scope of the question and distinguish the stated point from other suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• On every street corner within the neighbourhood.: The person in the centre rejects pointing cameras everywhere.
• On the parking lots near Henderson Lake.: Parking lots are not the suggested focus.
• On the main roads entering the neighbourhood.: Main neighbourhood roads are not the suggested focus.

Correct Answer: Post signage at the camera locations.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre proposes signage so people know exactly where the cameras are, alongside limited coverage.

Tips: Conditions often come after words like if or on the condition.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Mail a weekly map of cameras to every resident.: A weekly mailing is not the person in the centre's suggested notification measure.
• Telephone every resident before each recording.: Individual calls before recordings are not proposed.
• Require all residents to attend a camera demonstration.: A compulsory demonstration is not proposed.

Correct Answer: Storage and maintenance as part of a system costing thousands of dollars.

Why this is correct: The person on the right describes thousands of dollars for a proper system that includes storage and maintenance.

Tips: Follow the scope of the question and distinguish the stated point from other suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Insurance premiums and employee training only.: The person on the right names storage and maintenance, not this pair of expenses.
• Police review staff without a recording-storage system.: The person on the right includes storage and maintenance rather than a storage-free police-staffing arrangement.
• Construction of a dedicated monitoring office.: A dedicated monitoring office is not mentioned.

Correct Answer: Testing whether incidents fall without spending the full budget immediately.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre says two cameras at the worst alley entrances would produce data on incident reduction while limiting immediate spending.

Tips: Match actions with earlier problems.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Meeting a provincial grant's minimum installation requirement.: No provincial-grant requirement is given as a benefit.
• Locking in a vendor price before a quotation expires.: An expiring quotation is not the person in the centre's reason.
• Satisfying a formal resident-vote requirement.: Meeting a vote requirement is not the person in the centre's reason; the person in the centre wants evidence on incidents before spending the full budget.

Correct Answer: Sort out the details and meet again soon.

Why this is correct: The person on the right closes by asking to sort out the details and meet again soon, without assigning a city contact or approving installation.

Tips: Follow the scope of the question and distinguish the stated point from other suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Arrange a neighbourhood-wide vote immediately.: A vote is not announced.
• Hire a security consultant immediately.: A consultant is not hired.
• Submit an installation request to city council immediately.: A council installation request is not announced.
