Tips: Separate the speaker's own plan from the worries and ideas of other groups in the report.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Allow a few lounges first, then change the rules if the benefits begin to outweigh the risks.: This turns the speaker's test around. The speaker would change course when the risks grow bigger than the benefits, not the other way.
• Allow a few lounges first, then change the rules if police still lack a reliable roadside test.: The missing roadside test is a problem raised by critics. The speaker does not make the rules depend on it.
• Allow a few lounges first, then change the rules if health reviews show any rise in use.: Health reviews are part of the councillors' pilot idea. The speaker acts when risks outweigh benefits, not at any rise in use.

Correct Answer: Clear rules on lounge locations and noise levels.

Why this is correct: Dr. Singh says regulated lounges would let cities set clear rules on location, noise and air quality. This would replace inconsistent bylaw enforcement.

Tips: Several people in the report suggest rules. Note which rules each person names.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Clear rules on smoking in parks and sidewalks.: Parks and sidewalks come up when advocates say lounges could move smoking indoors. Dr. Singh's list is location, noise and air quality.
• Clear rules on licence numbers and alcohol sales.: Limited licences and no alcohol sales are part of the councillors' pilot idea. Dr. Singh does not mention them.
• Clear rules on age limits and staff training.: Age limits come from the advocates, and staff training comes from the councillors. Dr. Singh names neither of them.

Correct Answer: Canadian zoning laws and winter culture create very different patterns of use.

Why this is correct: The speaker says the Amsterdam comparison can be too simplistic. Canadian zoning laws and winter culture create very different patterns of use.

Tips: Listen for the reason the speaker gives right after the warning about the comparison.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Canadian zoning laws and age limits create very different patterns of use.: Zoning laws are part of the reason, but age limits are not. Age limits come from the advocates' point about indoor rules.
• Canadian rental housing and age limits create very different patterns of use.: Renters and age limits both come up earlier, in the supporters' case. Neither is the reason given about Amsterdam.
• Canadian rental housing and winter culture create very different patterns of use.: Winter culture is part of the reason, but rental housing is not. Renters come up earlier, when supporters describe the gap.

Correct Answer: Uneasy, though she admits her view is more a feeling than a fact.

Why this is correct: The owner worries that lounges could change her street and keep families away. She also admits this is more a feeling than something she can prove.

Tips: Notice how she feels, and also how sure she is about her worry.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Uneasy, and confident that she has clear proof for her view.: She does worry, but she admits she cannot prove it. So she is not confident that she has proof.
• Disappointed, and confident that she has clear proof for her view.: She worries about a change that might come. She is not disappointed, and she admits she cannot prove her view.
• Disappointed, though she admits her view is more a feeling than a fact.: Her words show worry about what could happen. Disappointment would mean something bad has already happened.

Correct Answer: The overall amount of cannabis that people use.

Why this is correct: Public health groups say that making on-site use seem normal could increase overall use. They say this is especially true for young adults.

Tips: Several groups raise different worries. Match each worry to the group that raises it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Impaired driving after a visit to a lounge.: Impaired driving is the critics' worry, linked to the missing roadside test. The public health groups talk about overall use.
• Mixing cannabis with alcohol on a night out.: Alcohol comes up only when councillors suggest no alcohol sales, and when critics compare it with cannabis. The health groups do not mention it.
• Smoke exposure for people who work in lounges.: Indoor air comes up when advocates mention ventilation standards. The public health groups talk about overall use, not smoke for workers.

Correct Answer: 122 adults.

Why this is correct: The survey found that 61% had used cannabis in public at least once because private options were limited. 61% of 200 adults is 122 adults.

Tips: Note any figure you hear and the group it describes, then apply it carefully.

Why the other options are wrong:

• 32 adults.: This number would fit 16%, not 61%. The two numbers sound alike, so listen carefully.
• 78 adults.: This is the other group, the 39% who did not give that answer. The question asks about the 61%.
• 61 adults.: This uses the survey percentage as a number of people. It must be applied to 200 adults.
