Correct Answer: He wants to live close to his workplace.
Why this is correct: The man says he is relocating to Calgary for work and wants something walkable near the Bow River Pathway. Living close to his workplace is his main reason for wanting a downtown condo.
Why the other options are wrong:
- He has family members living nearby.: He does not mention family members living in the area.
- He plans to invest in rental property.: He does not mention rental property investment.
- He prefers newer condo buildings with modern design.: He does not say he wants a newer building with modern design as his main goal.
Correct Answer: They often have higher monthly condo fees.
Why this is correct: The agent says Beltline fees can be around $500 per month because of amenities such as gyms and concierge service. These ongoing fees are the stated disadvantage.
Why the other options are wrong:
- They are farther from the Bow River.: The provider does not say the Beltline is farther from the river.
- They are older and lack amenities.: The provider says the Beltline has amenities like gyms, so it does not lack them.
- They usually have strict pet size rules.: Some East Village buildings have strict pet size limits, while Beltline buildings are described as generally more flexible. Strict size rules are not the stated usual disadvantage of Beltline condos.
Correct Answer: East Village.
Why this is correct: The agent says East Village has lower fees, closer to $350 monthly, but the units tend to be slightly smaller. It offers savings on fees but less living space.
Why the other options are wrong:
- The Beltline.: The Beltline has higher fees, not lower fees with smaller units.
- The suburbs outside downtown.: Suburbs outside downtown are not discussed in the conversation.
- Kensington.: Kensington offers more space for the money, but the agent does not say it has lower fees.
Correct Answer: Some buildings restrict pets by size.
Why this is correct: The man has a medium-sized dog. The agent says some East Village buildings have strict pet size limits. This restriction could prevent him from keeping his dog in certain East Village condos.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It has limited public transit options.: Public transit is not discussed as a limitation for East Village.
- It is over his budget range.: East Village prices are similar to the Beltline, within his $450,000 budget.
- It is too far from downtown offices.: East Village is described as being close to the river and downtown, not too far.
Correct Answer: View condos in two neighbourhoods to compare options.
Why this is correct: The agent recommends viewing two Beltline condos and one in Kensington this week so the customer can compare space, fees and location before deciding.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Increase his budget to access better buildings.: The provider does not suggest increasing his budget.
- Wait until winter to see commuting conditions.: The provider does not recommend waiting until winter.
- Make an offer on a Beltline condo immediately.: The provider does not push him to make an offer immediately.
Correct Answer: The Beltline, because it best fits his needs.
Why this is correct: The agent says Beltline might be the most practical option despite its fees, because it offers the shortest commute and more pet-friendly policies.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Any area as long as it is under budget.: The provider does not say any area is fine as long as it is under budget. The provider weighs pros and cons.
- East Village, because of newer buildings.: The provider does not push East Village. The provider notes its pet size limits as a problem.
- Kensington, because it is quieter.: The provider mentions Kensington is quieter, but the provider recommends the Beltline as more practical.
