Correct Answer: A rented parking stall with another car parked in it
Why this is correct: The man says his assigned stall is taken. He explains someone else parks there overnight, so his rented spot is not free.
Tips: First, understand the main problem before details.
Why the other options are wrong:
- A visitor parking area with a ticket on a windshield: The transcript does not say he got a ticket. He only worries about getting one later.
- An underground garage with a broken gate: There is no mention of a garage or a broken gate in the call.
- A street parking area with time limit signs: He never talks about street parking or time limits.
Correct Answer: It has been parked there several nights.
Why this is correct: The man explains how often the car appears. He says it has been there three nights in a row.
Tips: Listen for specific details after a question.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It belongs to a visitor from another building.: He does not know who owns the car. He only describes the vehicle.
- It was reported to bylaw enforcement.: He never says he reported it to bylaw enforcement.
- It is blocking the parking entrance.: The car is in his stall, not blocking an entrance.
Correct Answer: To confirm if it might be a repeated assignment error.
Why this is correct: The same vehicle has occupied his assigned stall for three nights, and the manager is checking the parking assignments. Asking whether it is the same vehicle helps her investigate a repeated assignment problem. This is an inference from the pattern and her next action.
Tips: Connect the repeated pattern with the manager’s current investigation. Do not quote an explanation given in a later part.
Why the other options are wrong:
- To decide if towing is required immediately.: She does not mention towing at all.
- To check whether the lease is valid.: She does not question his lease validity.
- To see if the man caused the problem.: She never suggests the man caused the issue.
Correct Answer: He could receive a parking ticket.
Why this is correct: The man clearly states his worry. He does not want to risk a ticket by using visitor parking.
Tips: Focus on emotional words like worry or concern.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It is too far from his unit.: Distance from his unit is never mentioned.
- It costs extra money each night.: He does not talk about paying extra money.
- It is often full on weekends.: He does not say it is full on weekends.
Correct Answer: Using an unassigned parking stall.
Why this is correct: The woman mentions an extra stall. She says it is not licensed to a unit, so it can be used temporarily.
Tips: Listen carefully when the solution is first mentioned.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Applying for a second parking licence.: She does not suggest applying for anything.
- Parking on the street temporarily.: Street parking is never offered as a solution.
- Sharing a stall with another tenant.: Sharing a stall is not discussed.
Correct Answer: The man will use a temporary assigned stall.
Why this is correct: They agree on a clear plan. The woman assigns him a temporary stall to use now.
Tips: The answer is often near the end of the conversation.
Why the other options are wrong:
- The man will continue using visitor parking.: He does not agree to keep using visitor parking.
- The man will swap stalls permanently.: The swap is not permanent.
- The man will wait for written approval before parking.: He does not need to wait before parking.
Correct Answer: Email an updated parking assignment.
