Tips: Focus on the first problem mentioned in the conversation.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A child attending an art class: The transcript never mentions an art class. The father only talks about piano and soccer.
• A family visiting grandparents: Visiting grandparents is mentioned later as a travel habit. It is not the cause of the problem.
• A child practising piano at home: The child has piano lessons at a studio, not at home. Piano itself is not the problem.

Correct Answer: Another activity was moved to the same time.

Why this is correct: The father says soccer moved to Tuesday afternoons. This is the same day as the piano lesson. That is why the time no longer works.

Tips: Listen for cause and effect words like because or but.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The studio is too far to travel after school.: He does not say the studio is too far after school. Distance is never mentioned.
• The lesson fee has increased recently.: The fee is discussed later, and it does not increase.
• His son is losing interest in piano.: He never says Liam lost interest in piano. He wants to keep lessons.

Correct Answer: Finding a new time for piano lessons.

Why this is correct: Soccer practice has moved to Tuesday afternoons, conflicting with Liam’s piano lesson. They need to find another lesson time so he can continue both activities.

Tips: Identify the scheduling problem already described before considering solutions offered later.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Deciding whether to quit soccer.: They never discuss quitting soccer. Soccer continues.
• Choosing a different music teacher.: They do not talk about changing teachers. Ms. Chen stays the teacher.
• Reducing the number of weekly activities.: They do not plan to reduce activities. They want to fit both.

Correct Answer: Taking piano lessons online.

Why this is correct: The teacher suggests online lessons on Tuesdays. The father says Liam prefers in-person lessons. This shows he does not like the online option.

Tips: Match the suggestion with the negative response.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A longer lesson on Thursdays.: He considers Thursday lessons and later accepts them.
• An earlier start time in the evening.: An earlier start time helps him and he agrees.
• Keeping the same monthly fee.: Keeping the same fee is good news for him.

Correct Answer: The alternating schedule could be hard to manage.

Why this is correct: The teacher explains the Monday slot alternates weekly. The father says alternating weeks could be confusing. This shows his concern.

Tips: Listen closely to why an option is rejected.

Why the other options are wrong:

• It would cost extra money each month.: The teacher says the fee will not change.
• The lesson would be too short to be useful.: The length is forty minutes, and he does not complain about that.
• The teacher is rarely available on Mondays.: The teacher offers the Monday slot, so she is available.

Correct Answer: It will not change the monthly cost.

Why this is correct: The teacher clearly says the monthly fee stays the same. This answers the question directly.

Tips: When you hear numbers, listen carefully for meaning.

Why the other options are wrong:

• It requires a new registration form.: No forms are mentioned anywhere.
• It depends on the number of students.: She does not mention other students affecting this.
• It will be reviewed at the end of term.: There is no review at the end of term.

Correct Answer: Thursday at four-thirty.

Why this is correct: They discuss Thursday as the best choice. The teacher suggests four-thirty, and the father agrees. They confirm this time.

Tips: The final answer usually comes near the end.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Thursday at five o’clock.: Five o'clock is mentioned earlier, but they change it.
• Tuesday afternoon online.: Online Tuesday lessons were rejected.
• Monday on alternating weeks.: Monday alternating weeks were not chosen.

Correct Answer: Email the updated schedule to the parent.

Why this is correct: At the end, the teacher says she will email the schedule. This is the next action.

Tips: The last sentence often shows the next step.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Call the soccer coach in Oakville.: She does not contact the soccer coach.
• Send a reminder before each lesson.: She does not mention reminders.
• Prepare new piano books for the student.: She does not talk about piano books.
