Tips: Listen for how long the speaker's plan runs and what must happen before it grows.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A permanent combined programme, reviewed whenever problems appear.: The speaker plans a one-year pilot, not a permanent programme. The committee then decides whether to expand it.
• A one-year combined pilot, expanded only if volunteer counts match the staff counts.: The pilot is right. But the speaker wants the two streams to answer different questions, not to give matching counts.
• A one-year combined pilot, expanded only if residents stay keen to take part.: The pilot is right. But the condition for growth is about useful answers, not about how keen residents are.

Correct Answer: keep the plastic issue visible between council meetings.

Why this is correct: Supporters believe that when residents take part, the plastic problem stays visible. It does not disappear from view between council meetings.

Tips: Several people talk about volunteers. Link each point to the person or group who makes it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• give residents a say in which sites deserve attention.: This idea comes from the speaker, who criticises the staff-only plan. The mapping supporters talk about local knowledge and visibility.
• save money on staff visits to the six fixed stations.: Staff costs belong to the fixed-station plan. The mapping supporters do not argue that volunteers would save this money.
• teach residents to use the same categories as trained staff.: Training volunteers is part of the speaker's own later plan. The mapping supporters talk about local knowledge and visibility.

Correct Answer: Two teams labelled the same pieces differently, showing the need for a shared method.

Why this is correct: On the walk, two teams used different labels for the same fragments. The speaker says this showed that enthusiasm needs a shared method.

Tips: When a speaker tells a personal story, note what actually happened and the lesson the speaker draws.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A piece near a zone boundary was counted twice, showing the need for a shared method.: The lesson is right. But the double count near a boundary is a possible problem the committee members raise, not what happened on the walk.
• Two teams labelled the same pieces differently, showing volunteers should be left out.: The event is right. But the speaker says it did not lead to excluding volunteers.
• A piece near a zone boundary was counted twice, showing volunteers should be left out.: Both parts are wrong. The walk showed different labels, and the speaker still wants volunteers.

Correct Answer: Impressed by it, and sure it leaves something out.

Why this is correct: The speaker calls the argument persuasive but incomplete. Fixed stations could miss short-lived clusters and give residents little role.

Tips: Check each option against what the speaker later keeps and adds in the final plan.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Fully convinced, seeing it as the complete answer.: The speaker is persuaded, but not fully. The speaker also says the argument is incomplete.
• Unimpressed, seeing little value in repeated visits.: The speaker keeps the six monthly stations in the final plan. So the speaker does value repeated visits.
• Unimpressed, and worried it would waste the budget.: The speaker never calls the station budget a waste. The worry is about coverage and the community's role.

Correct Answer: count the litter and note the festival in the record.

Why this is correct: The speaker says a public event that affects a count should be noted in the record. Volunteers should still count, but say what happened.

Tips: Find the rule the speaker gives for unusual conditions, then apply it to this case.

Why the other options are wrong:

• skip that beach so the weekend counts stay comparable.: The speaker does not want counts dropped. The speaker wants the unusual event written down with the count.
• count the litter as normal, like any other weekend.: Counting is right. But treating it as normal is the pretending the speaker warns against.
• move that count to the nearest fixed station's records.: The fixed stations are visited by staff on their own schedule. Nothing in the plan moves volunteer counts into them.

Correct Answer: A simple reporting form and public summaries.

Why this is correct: The speaker says the money should support volunteer orientation, a simple reporting form and public summaries. It should not go on extra equipment.

Tips: Two amounts of money are mentioned. Link each amount to what it pays for.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Extra equipment and a simple reporting form.: The reporting form is right. But the speaker says the money should not go on extra equipment.
• Staff training and public summaries.: Public summaries are right. But the training in this plan is for volunteers, and staff time is paid from the station budget.
• Extra equipment and staff training.: Both halves are wrong. Staff time and equipment belong to the station budget, not the remaining money.
