• He is unsure whether the tailor can work outside Ontario.: Whether the tailor can work outside Ontario is not discussed at all.
• He wants a suit style that is popular in Quebec.: He does not ask for a suit style that is popular in Quebec.

Correct Answer: Keeping the original spacing of the sleeve buttons.

Why this is correct: Preserving the sleeve-button spacing adds $25 because it is more labour-intensive. The tailor presents this as an optional addition to basic sleeve shortening.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Hemming the trousers to a shorter length.: Hemming the trousers is a standard alteration at 35 dollars without special difficulty noted.
• Tapering the trousers for a slimmer fit.: Tapering the trousers costs 30 dollars but is not described as especially labour-intensive.
• Taking in the waist of the jacket.: Taking in the waist is discussed but not described as costing extra due to the amount of work involved.

Correct Answer: Completion in about two weeks.

Why this is correct: The tailor says the standard turnaround is two weeks. This is the normal service time for getting alterations done without rushing. No extra fee is charged for standard service.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Alterations finished whenever the tailor is available.: This is not an open-ended wait - the tailor gives a clear two-week timeframe.
• Completion within seven days at no extra cost.: Seven days is the express service, which costs an extra 40 dollars on top of the alterations.
• A free express fitting before pickup.: A free express fitting before pickup is not mentioned in the conversation.

Correct Answer: The amount depends on the existing seam allowance.

Why this is correct: The tailor says alteration limits depend on seam allowance and that up to five centimetres is usually safe. The garment needs to be checked before a larger change can be assessed.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The tailor prefers not to change the original design.: The tailor does not say she prefers to leave the original design unchanged.
• The fabric may shrink after cleaning.: Fabric shrinking after cleaning is not mentioned as a concern.
• The suit material is difficult to sew.: The suit material being difficult to sew is not discussed.

Correct Answer: He will choose it only if timing becomes a problem.

Why this is correct: The man says he would rather not rush unless he has to. The tailor says if he brings the suit in by Friday, standard service should work fine. He is open to express service only if the timing becomes too tight.

Why the other options are wrong:

• He thinks it is overpriced compared to the alterations.: He does not say the express service is overpriced compared to the alterations.
• He assumes it is included automatically.: He does not assume express service is included automatically with his order.
• He believes it is unnecessary for any wedding.: He does not say express service is unnecessary for any type of wedding.

Correct Answer: Pin the suit and prepare a written estimate.

Why this is correct: The tailor says she will pin everything now and write up a detailed estimate. This is the immediate next step after their conversation ends. She wants to make sure there are no surprises with the final cost.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Schedule the express service without asking.: She does not schedule express service without asking - the man chose standard service.
• Order new fabric to replace worn sections.: Ordering new fabric to replace worn sections is not discussed at all.
• Send the suit to another branch in Montreal.: Sending the suit to another branch in Montreal is never mentioned.
