Subject: 1. booked for Ansel on Thursday morning
Hi Magnus,
Thank you for taking Ansel to Juniper Kids Dental on Thursday. The dentist found a small cavity that must be fixed. I have a meeting at work that day, so you will be the only adult with him. I booked the visit that suits this.
According to the guide, the visit will take about 2., so you can plan the rest of your morning. You are allowed to stay in the room with him while the dentist works. The guide also says that during the treatment on Thursday, Ansel will 3..
He has been there before. The visit costs 4., and I have left the money in the kitchen drawer for you. I would rather not use my card this month. Please remember to bring 5. with you when you leave the house on Thursday morning.
I will call you after my meeting to hear how it went.
Thanks,
Henrietta

Correct Answer: Standard Filling
Why this is correct: The cavity must be fixed, and Magnus is the only adult. A Standard Filling fixes a tooth, and one adult is enough for it.
Tips: First list what the family needs and who can come. Then check each card against those needs.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Sedation Visit: The Sedation Visit needs two adults for the trip home, and Magnus will be alone.
- Check-up Only: A Check-up Only has no drilling, so it cannot fix the cavity the dentist found.
- Sealant Visit: The note under the table says Sealant Visits run on Saturdays only. Ansel's visit is on Thursday.
Correct Answer: 45 minutes
Why this is correct: The visit Henrietta booked is the Standard Filling. Its card says 45 minutes.
Tips: Work out which visit was booked first. Then read the time on that card only.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 30 minutes: 30 minutes is the time for a Check-up Only, not for the booked visit.
- 2 hours: 2 hours is how long a Sedation Visit takes. Henrietta did not book that.
- 90 minutes: 90 minutes is the free parking time in the note under the table.
Correct Answer: stay awake in the chair
Why this is correct: Ansel is booked for a Standard Filling. That card says the child stays awake in the chair.
Tips: The sentence says 'during the treatment on Thursday'. Find the visit Henrietta booked, then read only that card.
Why the other options are wrong:
- sleep the whole time: The child sleeps during the treatment only in a Sedation Visit, which Ansel is not having.
- only have his teeth checked: Having teeth checked with a mirror is the Check-up Only visit. Ansel needs a cavity fixed.
- get a cleaning and polish: A cleaning and polish is listed on the Check-up Only card, not the booked visit.
Correct Answer: $140
Why this is correct: The Standard Filling card shows a price of $140.
Tips: A table often has several prices. Ask yourself what each price is for before you choose.
Why the other options are wrong:
- $75: $75 is the price of a Check-up Only. Ansel needs more than a check-up.
- $390: $390 is the price of a Sedation Visit, which needs two adults.
- $50: $50 is the charge for a missed visit in the note under the table.
Correct Answer: his health card
Why this is correct: The note under the table says to bring the child's health card to every visit.
Tips: Ask yourself what every family must bring, whatever the visit. Check all parts of the guide, not only the cards.
Why the other options are wrong:
- his favourite toy: Bringing a favourite toy is on the Check-up Only card, not the booked visit.
- a second adult: Two adults are needed only for a Sedation Visit. Magnus will come alone.
- a blanket for the ride home: The blanket is on the Sedation Visit card. Ansel is not having sedation.
Correct Answer: explain the visit she booked and what Magnus should bring
Why this is correct: Henrietta tells Magnus about the booked visit. She also tells him about the money and what to bring.
Tips: To find the main purpose, look at what the writer has already done and what the writer asks for.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask Magnus to choose the best type of visit for Ansel: Henrietta has already booked the visit. Magnus does not need to choose one.
- cancel Ansel's visit because of her meeting at work: The visit is still on. Henrietta asks Magnus to take Ansel instead of her.
- complain that the treatment costs too much money: Henrietta says where the money is. She never complains about the price.
Correct Answer: be shorter and cost less
Why this is correct: A Check-up Only takes 30 minutes and costs $75. The booked Standard Filling takes 45 minutes and costs $140.
Tips: Compare two cards line by line. Check the time and the price on both.
Why the other options are wrong:
- need two adults for the trip home: Two adults are needed for a Sedation Visit, not for a Check-up Only.
- require no food after midnight: The Check-up Only card says the child can eat and drink as usual.
- take longer than his booked visit: A Check-up Only takes 30 minutes. The booked visit takes 45 minutes.
Correct Answer: phone Magnus to find out about the visit
Why this is correct: Henrietta says she will call Magnus after her meeting to hear how it went.
Tips: The sentence asks what Henrietta will do after her meeting. Look for a plan she makes for that time.
Why the other options are wrong:
- pay for the visit with her card: Henrietta says she would rather not use her card. She left money in the drawer.
- meet Magnus and Ansel at the clinic: Henrietta has a meeting at work, so she will not go to the clinic.
- book a Sealant Visit for Ansel: Henrietta never talks about a Sealant Visit. She only plans a phone call.
