Tips: Separate the speaker's own plan from the plans of the groups they describe.

Why the other options are wrong:

• pair a short card with a longer guide linked at the bottom of the card.: Putting the background in a guide linked at the bottom is the short-card group's plan. The speaker wants key limits on the card itself.
• pair a short card with an easy guide, using cautious words on each claim.: The speaker says changing a confident word to a cautious one would not replace the work of checking a story.
• replace the card with one guide that keeps sources and limits together.: One longer guide is what the other group favours. The speaker still wants a brief card.

Correct Answer: a familiar situation makes people want to pay attention.

Why this is correct: The short-card group wants familiar personal stories. They say a recognisable situation gives people a reason to pay attention.

Tips: Keep each argument linked to the group behind it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• stories are easy to share in a quick screenshot.: Screenshots come up as the other group's worry. Nobody says stories are chosen because they are easy to share.
• a story can show readers that a recovery claim works.: This group uses stories to get attention, not as proof. Treating a story as proof of a benefit is what the speaker warns against.
• travellers busy with flights have no time for questions.: The group says busy people may not finish a detailed guide. The card itself is built around a few questions to ask.

Correct Answer: a screenshot could spread a story without the link below it.

Why this is correct: This group worries the card could travel further than its explanation. A screenshot might keep a striking story but leave out the link.

Tips: Keep each worry linked to the group that raises it.

Why the other options are wrong:

• readers will be put off by the technical language in a guide.: Difficult language in a long guide is the speaker's own warning. This group says it is not asking readers to memorise technical language.
• a card's headline could sound more certain than its story.: The speaker noticed this about one headline in the rehearsal. It is not the longer-guide group's argument.
• busy travellers may skip the card and miss the story entirely.: This group worries that the card spreads without its explanation, not that people skip it.

Correct Answer: which details readers must check before giving a claim weight.

Why this is correct: The exercise does not show that any claim is false. It shows which details a reader would need to trace before deciding how much weight to give it.

Tips: Ask what the example is meant to prove, not only what it counts.

Why the other options are wrong:

• how often real travel cards leave out an author or a date.: The twelve cards are imaginary. They show what to check, not how common missing details are in real cards.
• that a missing author or date is a sign that a claim is false.: The speaker says the exercise does not establish that any recovery claim is false.
• that missing dates are a more common problem than missing authors.: Four cards have no author and three have no date. So missing dates are not the more common problem.

Correct Answer: sympathetic to its aim, and doubtful that limits must be cut.

Why this is correct: The speaker is sympathetic to the demand for simplicity. But they are unconvinced that simplicity requires removing qualifications.

Tips: Listen for words that show the speaker's feelings, and for any change in them.

Why the other options are wrong:

• sympathetic to its aim, and happy to move limits to a linked guide.: The speaker does not want limits moved away. They want essential limits beside each claim on the card itself.
• doubtful of its aim, since short cards always mislead readers.: The speaker supports a brief card. They never say short cards always mislead.
• enthusiastic, after liking the most reassuring card in rehearsal.: The speaker liked that card at first, then saw the headline was too certain. This made them more careful, not enthusiastic.

Correct Answer: show it as one person's experience until its source and scope are checked.

Why this is correct: Stories can stay as clearly identified experiences, not proof. Before a story supports a broader statement, we must know where it came from and what it describes.

Tips: Apply the speaker's own rules to the new case, one at a time.

Why the other options are wrong:

• keep the story but soften the headline to "Recovery is often quick".: The speaker says changing a confident word to a cautious one would not replace checking the story.
• keep the story and headline once the traveller's name and a date are added.: The speaker says a name and date would not automatically show that a claim is sound.
• remove it, since personal stories have no place on the card at all.: The speaker says personal stories could remain on the card, as clearly identified experiences.
