Tips: For original plans, listen near the beginning of the conversation.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A restaurant dining room: The restaurant is only discussed as another option. It was not the first place planned.
• A university classroom: A university classroom is never mentioned in the talk.

Correct Answer: There is damage from water.

Why this is correct: The speaker says there is a water leak from the ceiling. This means water damage. That is why they cannot use the room.

Tips: Focus on clear problem words that explain why something cannot be used.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The booking was cancelled by mistake.: No one says the booking was cancelled by mistake. The problem is physical damage.
• The room is too small for the group.: They never say the room is too small. Size is not discussed.
• The heating system stopped working.: They do not mention heating problems. They mention water.

Correct Answer: They need to find a new place for the event.

Why this is correct: The room is closed all week. They start talking about other places. This shows they need a new venue.

Tips: The main problem is usually discussed several times.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They want to change the event date.: They never talk about changing the date. The workshop is still tomorrow.
• They are missing some equipment.: No equipment problems are mentioned. Only the room is a problem.
• They need more people to attend.: They do not talk about needing more people.

Correct Answer: A restaurant on Saint-Jean Street.

Why this is correct: They ask about the restaurant. The speaker says it is fully booked. This means it is not available.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A hotel near the Old Port.: The hotel is available and they like this option. It is not rejected.
• A meeting room at their office.: A meeting room at their office is never mentioned.
• A community hall in another area.: A community hall in another area is not discussed.

Correct Answer: It fits the budget and is easy to reach.

Why this is correct: The speaker says it is within their budget. She also says it is easy to reach by bus. These are good reasons.

• It is owned by their company.: They never say they own the hotel.

Correct Answer: Near the Gare du Palais.

Why this is correct: The speaker asks about the hotel near the Gare du Palais. The other speaker confirms this location.

• Worried they will run out of time.: They say they still have time, not that they are worried.
