Tips: Listen for the conditions the speaker attaches to the plan, and keep both in mind.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Tiered fees, with a published fee sheet and pay linked to ticket sales.: The fee sheet is right. But the speaker says pay must never depend on ticket sales.
• Tiered fees, with a separate deal for each writer and a protected access budget.: The access budget is right. But the speaker wants a published fee sheet, not a separate deal for each writer.
• Tiered fees, with a separate deal for each writer and pay linked to ticket sales.: Both conditions are wrong. The speaker wants a published fee sheet, and pay must never depend on ticket sales.

Correct Answer: could not then be used for books or longer opening hours.

Why this is correct: These organisers say every dollar spent on fees is unavailable for books or longer opening hours.

Tips: Several groups talk about money here. Keep each point with the group that makes it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• could not then be used for accessible rooms or captioning.: Accessible rooms and captioning come from library staff. They say the budget must cover these as well as speakers.
• could not then be used for promotion or event publicity.: Promotion is on the library staff's list. Publicity is what organisers say the library gives writers, not a cost.
• could not then be used for travel or workshop materials.: Travel money and workshop materials belong to the tiered model and the visiting instructor. The organisers do not mention them.

Correct Answer: To show that equal session fees can miss real differences in work.

Why this is correct: The comparison comes right after the flat fee's weakness. A short reading takes one evening, but a three-hour class can take most of a day.

Tips: When the speaker compares two people, ask which argument the comparison supports.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To show that categories can start arguments over what a workshop is.: Arguments about categories are the critics' worry about the tiered model. The poet and instructor show a weakness of the flat fee.
• To show that exposure may bring several book sales, or none at all.: Uncertain book sales are the problem with exposure as payment. That point comes before the flat fee is discussed.
• To show that the budget must also cover rooms and promotion.: Rooms and promotion are the library staff's budget warning. They have nothing to do with the poet and instructor.

Correct Answer: Firmly against it, and mindful of what the library can afford.

Why this is correct: The speaker wants to replace vague promises of exposure with clear terms. But the speaker also says the library should not promise fees it cannot sustain.

Tips: Separate what supporters say about this model from what the speaker says about it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Open to it, and mindful of what the library can afford.: The speaker is not open to paying in exposure. The goal is to replace vague promises of exposure with clear terms.
• Firmly against it, and unconcerned about what the library can afford.: The speaker does care about cost. The library should not promise fees it can sustain only by cutting access.
• Open to it, and unconcerned about what the library can afford.: Both parts are wrong. The speaker rejects exposure as pay and also cares about the library's budget.

Correct Answer: A fixed budget must also pay for accessible rooms, captions and promotion.

Why this is correct: Library staff warn that a fixed programme budget must cover accessible rooms, captioning and promotion, not only speakers.

Tips: Match each warning to the group that gives it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Fee categories could cause arguments over what counts as a workshop.: Arguments over categories are the critics' worry about the tiered model, not the staff's warning.
• Staff could not easily explain a different fee for each format.: Easy explaining comes up as a reason some people like the flat fee. Staff do not warn that tiered fees are hard to explain.
• Even a full room might not lead to any book sales for writers.: Uncertain book sales are the report's point about exposure as payment. Staff talk about rooms, captions and promotion.

Correct Answer: $5,100.

Why this is correct: Sixteen sessions at $250 make $4,000. Six workshops add $900, and two travellers add $200, so the total is $5,100.

Tips: Write down each payment and who gets it. Then apply them to the new schedule.

Why the other options are wrong:

• $4,900.: This leaves out the $100 travel payment for the two presenters.
• $4,200.: This leaves out the extra $150 for each workshop leader, and it still adds travel.
• $5,400.: This uses the report's eight workshops instead of the six in this case.
