From: David
Date: July 24
Subject: Our charging stop at 1. on Friday
Hi Elena,
I checked the charging stops near the cabin, because our rental car only takes a CCS plug and came without an adapter. We will be low on battery by Route 6, so I want a rapid charger.
Lake Plaza is the closest stop to the cabins, but its 2. means our car cannot use it at all. That is a shame, because a grocery store would have been handy. The stop I chose is 3. before the cabins, so we can eat, charge and still arrive before dark. It also has washrooms and covered parking.
Pine Library would mean 4., and its standard plugs would take far too long. We will still plug the car in at the cabin every night. For that, the notice says we have to 5., so could you remind me when we arrive?
Let me know if you would rather stop somewhere else.
David

Correct Answer: Mill Cafe
Why this is correct: David needs a CCS rapid charger on Route 6 with washrooms and covered parking. Mill Cafe is the only stop with a CCS rapid charger, and it is 45 km before the cabins.
Tips: A blank in the Subject line is often the final choice. Read the whole email first, then come back to it.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Lake Plaza: Lake Plaza has a CHAdeMO rapid charger only and no adapters, so their CCS car cannot use it.
- Pine Library: Pine Library has no rapid charging and is off Route 6, so David rejects it.
- Cabin Store: The Cabin Store has one standard plug for overnight guests. It is not a rapid stop on the way.
Correct Answer: CHAdeMO-only charger
Why this is correct: The Lake Plaza row says CHAdeMO rapid charger only, with no adapters on site. The rental car takes only a CCS plug, so it cannot use this charger.
Tips: When the email says a car cannot use a stop, look for the plug type in that stop's row.
Why the other options are wrong:
- CCS rapid charger: A CCS rapid charger would fit their car. That charger is at Mill Cafe, not Lake Plaza.
- pair of J1772 plugs: Two J1772 plugs are at Mill Cafe and Pine Library. Lake Plaza does not list them.
- single J1772 plug: One J1772 plug is at the Cabin Store, not at Lake Plaza.
Correct Answer: 45 km
Why this is correct: Mill Cafe is 45 km before the cabins. David says this leaves time to eat and charge and still arrive before dark.
Tips: Make sure a number belongs to the stop you chose, not to the heading or another row.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 15 km: 15 km is the distance for Lake Plaza, the stop David cannot use.
- 12 km: 12 km is the length of the detour to Pine Library, not a distance before the cabins.
- 60 km: 60 km appears in the subheading as the limit for all listed chargers. It is not the distance of David's stop.
Correct Answer: a 12 km detour onto Route 9
Why this is correct: The Pine Library row says it is on Route 9, a 12 km detour. A detour adds driving when they are already low on battery, so this is one reason he says no.
Tips: Read every line in the row the sentence names. Location facts can be in the middle of a row.
Why the other options are wrong:
- an overnight stay as cabin guests: Overnight charging for guests is at the Cabin Store, not at Pine Library.
- a stop right at the cabin entrance: The Cabin Store is at the cabin entrance. The library is on another road.
- a wait until the store opens at 9:00: The 9:00 opening time is for the Cabin Store. The library row gives a closing time of 6:00 p.m.
Correct Answer: book the plug at check-in
Why this is correct: David will charge at the cabin every night. The Cabin Store row says you must book the plug at check-in, so he asks Elena to remind him when they arrive.
Tips: Words like at the cabin in the email point you to one row. Find the rule in that row.
Why the other options are wrong:
- pay by app before we arrive: Paying by app is for Mill Cafe and Pine Library. The Cabin Store says to pay at the store.
- bring our own adapter: Adapters are only mentioned for Lake Plaza, and the cabin plug does not need one.
- leave before 6:00 p.m.: 6:00 p.m. is when Pine Library closes. It has nothing to do with the cabin plug.
Correct Answer: explain which charging stop suits their rental car
Why this is correct: David compares the stops and chooses one that fits their CCS car and their trip. He ends by asking if Elena would rather stop somewhere else, so he is explaining his choice.
Tips: For a purpose question, think about what the whole email does, not one sentence.
Why the other options are wrong:
- suggest renting a car with a different plug: David keeps the same rental car. He finds a stop that fits its CCS plug.
- ask Elena to buy an adapter before the trip: David says the car came without an adapter, but he never asks Elena to buy one.
- cancel their dinner stop on the way: David plans to eat while the car charges, so the meal is part of the plan.
Correct Answer: Its only rapid charger does not fit their car.
Why this is correct: Lake Plaza has a CHAdeMO rapid charger only and no adapters. Their car only takes CCS, so it cannot charge there.
Tips: Check each reason against the row. Only one reason is both true and important to the writer.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It is not on Route 6 like the other stops.: Lake Plaza is on Route 6, so the road is not the problem.
- It has no washrooms for a longer stop.: The Lake Plaza row lists washrooms.
- Its grocery store closes too early in the evening.: The grocery store is open until 10:00 p.m., which is late.
Correct Answer: practical and easygoing
Why this is correct: David plans the stop around the car's plug, the meal and arriving before dark. He also invites Elena to suggest another stop, which sounds relaxed and open.
Tips: For tone, look at how the writer reacts to problems and how the email ends.
Why the other options are wrong:
- anxious and hurried: David is calm. He even plans time to eat while the car charges.
- annoyed and critical: He only says it is a shame about the grocery store. He does not complain.
- unsure and confused: David clearly knows which stop he wants and why.
