Tips: Keep the number of stations separate from the number of bikes each station holds.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Seven stations with twelve bikes each.: Seven stations and twelve bikes each contradict both stated numbers.
• Ten stations with five bikes each.: Ten stations with five bikes each reverses the stated station and capacity numbers.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The centre has a large unused parking lot.: An unused lot is not the stated rationale.
• The centre's management has offered to fund the installation.: Centre funding is not offered.
• It is the most popular shopping destination in the neighbourhood.: Most-popular-shop status is not asserted.

Correct Answer: Near Beacon Hill Park on the Dallas Road side for exploring the waterfront.

• The downtown harbour area.: The downtown harbour is not the recommendation.

Tips: Listen for the reason the speaker gives for this place.

Why the other options are wrong:

• University staff have specifically requested bike share access.: University staff requests are not reported.
• The university has offered to share the installation cost.: University cofunding is not offered.
• The campus has the flattest terrain in the city.: Flattest terrain is not the rationale.

Correct Answer: The community centre on Cedar Hill Road where families go for swimming and skating.

Why this is correct: The community centre on Cedar Hill Road is suggested because families visit for swimming and skating. A station could encourage those families to ride instead of drive.

Tips: Use the activity linked to a location; do not confuse it with another site’s place in the list.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A shopping centre on Douglas Street.: Douglas Street shopping is not the suggested site for family swimming and skating visits.
• The ferry terminal on the harbour.: The ferry terminal is not the suggested site for family swimming and skating visits.
• The city hall building downtown.: City hall is not the suggested site for family swimming and skating visits.

Correct Answer: Staff could bike to work, and visitors struggle with parking in the congested area.

• Emergency workers need quick transportation between buildings.: Emergency interbuilding travel is not the rationale.
• The hospital has pledged funding for a nearby station.: Hospital funding is not offered.

Correct Answer: Stations must not block wheelchair ramps or bus stop zones.

Why this is correct: The placement discussion explicitly says stations should not block wheelchair ramps or bus-stop zones. This is an access-clearance requirement, rather than a special bike-design requirement.

Tips: Separate access to the surrounding space from the design of the bikes.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Stations should include bikes designed for riders with disabilities.: Adaptive bikes are not the placement requirement.
• Stations should have ramps for people who cannot lift bikes.: Bike-lifting ramps are not the placement requirement.
• Stations should be close to public washrooms.: Washroom proximity is not the placement requirement.

Correct Answer: About six to eight weeks, with installation possible by early fall.

Why this is correct: The approval estimate is about six to eight weeks after submission. That timing could allow installation by early fall; the discussion does not guarantee the installation date.

Tips: Listen for the exact time the speaker gives.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Three to four months at minimum.: A three-to-four-month minimum is not stated.
• Up to six months due to city regulations.: A six-month maximum is not stated.
• Two to three weeks.: Two to three weeks is not stated.
