Correct Answer: He has sensitive skin and wants to stay warm.
Why this is correct: The man says his skin is a bit sensitive and he wants something warm for the Yellowknife winter. He needs yarn that will not irritate his skin while keeping him warm. Both factors guide his question.
Why the other options are wrong:
- He wants yarn that matches his home décor.: Home decor is not mentioned.
- He plans to knit items to sell.: He does not plan to sell knitted items.
- He already owns needles but no yarn.: He does not say he already owns needles.
Correct Answer: It may stretch and lose its shape.
Why this is correct: The employee says bamboo yarn stretches, so scarves can lose shape over time. This stretching is the specific disadvantage the provider mentions for bamboo.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It feels rough on the skin.: The provider says bamboo is very soft, not rough.
- It is more expensive than wool.: The provider does not say bamboo is more expensive than wool.
- It is difficult to wash.: Washing difficulty is not mentioned for bamboo.
Correct Answer: Straight needles that are 5 millimetres.
Why this is correct: The employee recommends 5-millimetre straight needles for a beginner scarf. They are easy to handle and work well with medium-weight yarn. The provider suggests straight over circular for simplicity.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Metal needles under 4 millimetres.: Metal needles under 4 millimetres are not suggested.
- Circular needles with thin tips.: The employee says circular needles can be confusing for beginners. Thin needle tips are not discussed.
- Large needles designed for hats.: Large needles for hats are not discussed.
Correct Answer: Needles, yarn, and a simple pattern.
Why this is correct: The employee says the beginner kit for $24.99 includes needles, two skeins of blend yarn, and a simple pattern. These three items come together in the kit.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Circular needles and advanced patterns.: The kit contains needles, two skeins of blend yarn and a simple pattern. It does not contain the advanced pattern described in this option; the needle type is unspecified.
- One skein of acrylic yarn and a book.: The kit has two skeins of blend yarn, not one skein of acrylic.
- Bamboo yarn and a free class pass.: Bamboo yarn and a class pass are not included.
Correct Answer: It balances warmth with comfort for sensitive skin.
Why this is correct: The employee says pure wool can be itchy for some people, so a wool-acrylic blend is a good compromise. It offers warmth like wool but is softer for sensitive skin.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It is the only yarn on sale.: The blend is not described as being on sale.
- It is made locally in the Northwest Territories.: It is not described as locally made.
- It works better with circular needles.: The type of needles used is not the reason for suggesting the blend.
Correct Answer: Purchase the beginner kit and choose colours.
Why this is correct: The man says he will start with the kit, and the employee offers to help him pick colours. His next step is buying the kit and choosing which colours he wants.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Sign up for an advanced knitting class.: The man says he will start with the kit. An advanced class is not offered or selected; the store mentions a beginner class.
- Return later to buy bamboo yarn.: The employee advised against bamboo for cold weather.
- Order supplies online from another store.: He did not mention ordering from another store.
