Correct Answer: A leaking ceiling in a bedroom
Why this is correct: The speaker says her ceiling is leaking. She also says it is in the bedroom near the window. This clearly matches a leaking ceiling in a bedroom.
Tips: Focus on the first clear problem the speaker describes.
Why the other options are wrong:
- A broken window with rain coming in: The speaker never says the window is broken. She says the ceiling is leaking, not rain coming through a window.
- A flooded bathroom floor: She does not mention water on the bathroom floor. The problem is in the bedroom ceiling.
- A kitchen sink that will not drain: There is no talk about a kitchen sink problem. The sink issue is in another unit.
Correct Answer: That morning.
Why this is correct: She clearly says when the leak started. She says it started this morning after heavy rain.
Tips: When you hear a time question, listen closely to the exact time word.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Late last night.: She does not say anything about last night. She says this morning.
- Earlier this week.: She never mentions earlier this week. The time is very recent.
- After she moved in.: She does not talk about moving in. The leak is new.
Correct Answer: He says he will check the leak.
Why this is correct: The man responds by saying he will take a look. This shows his first action is to check the problem.
Tips: Choose the answer that matches the first action, not later steps.
Why the other options are wrong:
- He tells her to call the landlord.: He does not tell her to call anyone else. He handles the problem himself.

- He suggests buying repair supplies.: He never talks about buying supplies.
Correct Answer: To inspect a possible plumbing issue.
Why this is correct: The man says the unit above might have a plumbing issue. That is why he wants to check upstairs.
Tips: Match the reason, not the action alone.
Why the other options are wrong:
- To look at the roof access.: He does not mention the roof at all. He talks about pipes.
- To talk to the neighbour about noise.: There is no noise complaint. The visit is about water.
- To turn off the building’s water.: He never says he will turn off the building water.
Correct Answer: She is calm and helpful.
Why this is correct: She stays polite and helpful. She puts a bucket and asks clear questions.
Tips: Think about tone and actions, not just words.

- She is ready to move out.: She does not talk about moving out.
Correct Answer: It might be opened a little.
Why this is correct: The man says maybe a small part will be opened. He says only if there is more water.
