Date: May 9
Subject: Lunch order for two
Hello,
I would like to order lunch for me and my coworker, Alina Park. Her talk runs until noon, so I am sending her order too. Alina does not eat meat, so she would like the asparagus soup and a vegetarian wrap. She knows that every wrap comes with 2., and she is happy to have it.
I will have the Mediterranean salad and a chicken wrap. For our sides, please give us two 3., since we both want something light and sweet. I will skip dessert today. Alina does not eat chocolate, so for dessert, please give her the 4..
I will collect our meals myself. When lunch is served at 12:30, I will pick up both of our wraps from 5..
Thank you,
Janet Moore

Correct Answer: Dana Wu
Why this is correct: Janet is sending a lunch order. The note at the bottom says to email all orders to Dana Wu.
Tips: Think about why the person is writing. Then find who handles that job.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Ben Cole: Ben Cole serves starters at Table 1. He does not take the orders.
- Mia Ross: Mia Ross serves wraps at Table 2. Orders go to Dana, not to her.
- Sam Patel: Sam Patel serves sides at Table 3. He does not take the orders.
Correct Answer: roasted red pepper mayo
Why this is correct: The Wraps row says there is roasted red pepper mayo in every wrap. So Alina's wrap has it too.
Tips: Look for the word every in the diagram. It shows what comes with all items.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a fruit cup: A fruit cup is a side that you choose. It does not come in every wrap.
- potato salad: Potato salad is a side choice, not part of every wrap.
- asparagus soup: Asparagus soup is a starter. It does not come with the wraps.
Correct Answer: fruit cups
Why this is correct: The sides are a fruit cup or potato salad. Janet wants something light and sweet, so fruit cups fit.
Tips: First find the right row, Sides. Then choose between the items in it.
Why the other options are wrong:
- potato salads: Potato salad is a side, but it is not sweet.
- berry tarts: The berry tart is on the Dessert row, so it is not a side.
- Mediterranean salads: The Mediterranean salad is a starter, not a side.
Correct Answer: berry tart
Why this is correct: The desserts are a berry tart and chocolate mousse. Alina does not eat chocolate, so the berry tart is right.
Tips: Use the reason in the email to choose between two items in one row.
Why the other options are wrong:
- chocolate mousse: The mousse is made with chocolate, and Alina does not eat chocolate.
- fruit cup: The fruit cup is on the Sides row, not the Dessert row.
- potato salad: Potato salad is a side dish, and it is not a dessert.
Correct Answer: Table 2
Why this is correct: The Wraps row says wraps are served at Table 2. Janet will collect the wraps there.
Tips: Find the food named in the sentence, then read its table number.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Table 1: Table 1 serves the starters, like soup and salad.
- Table 3: Table 3 serves the sides, like fruit cups.
- Table 4: Table 4 serves the desserts, not the wraps.
Correct Answer: order lunch for herself and Alina
Why this is correct: Janet says she wants to order lunch for herself and her coworker. The rest of the email lists their choices.
Tips: The first lines of an email usually show the main reason for writing.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask Dana to move lunch to noon: Noon is when Alina's talk ends. Janet does not ask to change the lunch time.
- complain about the lunch menu: Janet simply orders from the menu. She never says anything bad about it.
- invite Alina to eat with her team: Janet orders for Alina. She is not inviting her to a team lunch.
Correct Answer: close before Alina's talk ends
Why this is correct: Alina's talk runs until noon. Orders must be in by 11:30 a.m., so Alina would be too late.
Tips: Compare a time in the email with a time in the diagram.
Why the other options are wrong:
- must be picked up at Table 1: Table 1 is only where starters are served. Orders go to Dana by email.
- close at 12:30 p.m.: Orders close at 11:30 a.m. Lunch is served at 12:30 p.m.
- are taken only for vegetarian wraps: The menu has four fillings, not only vegetarian.
Correct Answer: thoughtful and helpful
Why this is correct: Janet orders for Alina because Alina is busy. She also knows what Alina can and cannot eat.
Tips: Look at what the writer does for the other person to find the attitude.
Why the other options are wrong:
- annoyed that Alina is busy: Janet never complains. She simply helps while Alina gives her talk.
- unsure what Alina likes: Janet knows Alina does not eat meat or chocolate.
- bossy about Alina's food: Janet orders the food Alina likes. She does not push her own choices on Alina.
