Tips: For main issue questions, listen to the first speaker carefully.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Whether to install electric scooter charging stations in the parkade.: Charging in common areas is specifically a concern to prohibit. The proposed arrangement is lobby storage, not parkade charging stations.
• Whether to create a bicycle storage room in the basement.: The items are electric scooters in the lobby; no basement bicycle room is proposed.
• Whether to ban electric scooters from the building entirely.: No one suggests banning scooters entirely. They discuss conditions for allowing storage.

Correct Answer: Residents do not want to haul scooters up the elevator into their units every day during snowy, icy winters.

Why this is correct: The person on the left recognizes the daily inconvenience of moving scooters to individual units during Etobicoke winters.

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

Why the other options are wrong:

• The person on the left thinks it will increase property values in the building.: Property values are not the person on the left's reason.
• The person on the left wants to encourage more residents to buy scooters.: Increasing scooter purchases is not the person on the left's stated aim.
• The person on the left believes scooters are safer when stored indoors.: The person on the left cites convenience in snowy, icy weather rather than claiming that indoor storage is safer.

Correct Answer: They could obstruct exits and common areas that the person on the right says must be kept clear under the Ontario Fire Code.

Why this is correct: The person on the right warns that even a few scooters could obstruct exits or access, citing the requirement to keep common areas clear.

Tips: When asked about concerns, listen for problems or risks.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Scooters could be stolen from the lobby.: Theft is not the concern raised in this turn.
• Scooters could create excessive noise.: Noise complaints are never mentioned in the discussion.
• They could damage the lobby floors.: There is no talk about damage to floors.

Correct Answer: A maximum of five scooters, all parked in marked spots.

Why this is correct: The person on the left suggests marked spaces for perhaps five scooters maximum to prevent storage getting out of hand.

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

Why the other options are wrong:

• An unlimited number as long as they fit.: The person on the left calls for a cap rather than unlimited storage.
• A maximum of three scooters.: Three is not the number suggested.
• A maximum of ten scooters.: Ten is not the number suggested.

Correct Answer: Strictly prohibit charging in common areas.

Why this is correct: The person on the right could accept storage if charging is completely prohibited in common areas, addressing the person on the right's largest fire-risk concern.

Tips: For condition questions, listen for if statements.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Install a dedicated charging station in the lobby.: Lobby charging is the activity the person on the right wants prohibited.
• Replace all batteries annually.: Annual replacement is not required.
• Remove every battery before storage.: Removing batteries is not discussed.

Correct Answer: Require registration with property management.

Why this is correct: The person in the centre suggests registration so management knows whose scooter is stored and can hold residents accountable.

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

Why the other options are wrong:

• Charge a monthly storage fee.: No one talks about charging a storage fee.
• Install cameras at every storage spot.: Camera installation is not proposed.
• Hire a part-time lobby attendant.: Adding security staff is not mentioned.

Correct Answer: Strictly temporary, for the winter months only.

Why this is correct: The person on the left clearly says it should be temporary, not permanent. The person on the left gives winter months as the duration but no exact calendar end date.

Tips: Rules are often stated clearly and directly.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Until the end of December.: An end-of-December deadline is not stated.
• For a full twelve months.: Twelve-month storage contradicts the winter-only limit.
• Until the end of January.: An end-of-January deadline is not stated.

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

Why this is correct: The closing suggestion is to work out details and meet again, not to adopt a cancellation trigger.

Tips: End of discussion often shows the next step.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Continue storage regardless of any concerns.: Continuing regardless of concerns is not proposed.
• Require a full board vote before discussing details.: A mandatory vote before details are discussed is not stated.
• Cancel the proposal after the first complaint.: A first-complaint cancellation rule is not stated.
