From: Erin
Date: October 8
Subject: Solar night on Thursday
Hi Malik,
Since our roof belongs to the whole co-op, I think we should go to 1. together on Thursday. Our neighbours have been asking about panels for months. The session is led by 2., so we can finally get some clear answers to our questions.
I finish work at six. It starts at 3., which still gives us plenty of time to have dinner at home first. Since the session is upstairs, let us meet at the north entrance a few minutes early. From there, it is easy to get to 4., where the session is held.
The Parkers on the third floor have lots of ideas too. The guide asks our group to bring 5., so could you add yours to my list by Wednesday?
Thanks,
Erin

Correct Answer: Shared Roof Decisions
Why this is correct: Erin and Malik live in a co-op, and the roof belongs to everyone. The Shared Roof Decisions card says it is for condo and co-op residents.
Tips: Find who each session is for. Then match it to the writer's home.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Rooftop Basics: Rooftop Basics is for owners of detached houses. Erin and Malik live in a co-op building.
- Green Power Plans: Green Power Plans is for renters with no roof to use. Their co-op has a shared roof.
- Questions and Coffee: Questions and Coffee is a coffee time in the north lobby at 8:00 p.m. It is not a session for co-ops.
Correct Answer: a co-op board member
Why this is correct: The Shared Roof Decisions card says a co-op board member leads it. That is the session Erin chose.
Tips: Stay in the same card once you know which session the writer means.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a solar installer: A solar installer leads Rooftop Basics, the session for detached houses.
- a city energy advisor: A city energy advisor leads Green Power Plans, the session for renters.
- a lobby volunteer: A lobby volunteer hosts Questions and Coffee in the north lobby. This person does not lead a session.
Correct Answer: 7:00 p.m.
Why this is correct: Shared Roof Decisions is in Room 3 at 7:00 p.m. So Erin and Malik can eat dinner first.
Tips: Each card ends with its own room and time. Read the line on the card you picked.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 6:00 p.m.: 6:00 p.m. is the start time for Rooftop Basics in Room 1.
- 6:30 p.m.: 6:30 p.m. is the start time for Green Power Plans in Room 2.
- 8:00 p.m.: 8:00 p.m. is when Questions and Coffee starts in the north lobby, not the session.
Correct Answer: Room 3
Why this is correct: The Shared Roof Decisions card gives Room 3. The note at the bottom also says Room 3 is upstairs, just as Erin says.
Tips: Check the note at the bottom too. It can give extra facts about a room.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Room 1: Room 1 is where Rooftop Basics meets, and it is beside the south stairs.
- Room 2: Room 2 is where Green Power Plans meets, and it is beside the south stairs.
- the north lobby: The north lobby is for Questions and Coffee at 8:00 p.m., not for this session.
Correct Answer: questions about roof votes
Why this is correct: People going to Shared Roof Decisions should bring questions about roof votes. Erin is making a list of these questions.
Tips: A list in the email is a clue. Look for what the card asks people to bring.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a recent power bill: A recent power bill is for Rooftop Basics, the session for house owners.
- your hydro account number: The hydro account number is for Green Power Plans, the session for renters.
- your own mug: The mug is for Questions and Coffee. It is not what Erin's session asks for.
Correct Answer: invite Malik to a session for their co-op
Why this is correct: Erin says they should go to the co-op session together. She then plans the time and the place to meet.
Tips: Look at the start of the email. Writers often say why they are writing there.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask Malik to lead a session on roof votes: A co-op board member leads the session. Erin only asks Malik to come and add questions.
- complain about the co-op's roof rules: Erin says nothing bad about the rules. She wants to learn more about panels.
- invite Malik to a talk for renters: The talk for renters is Green Power Plans. Erin picks the session for co-op residents.
Correct Answer: the lift up to Room 3 is beside it
Why this is correct: Erin says the session is upstairs. The note at the bottom says the lift beside the north entrance goes up to Room 3.
Tips: When the email gives a plan, look in the diagram for the fact that makes it work.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Rooms 1 and 2 are beside it: Rooms 1 and 2 are beside the south stairs, not the north entrance.
- Questions and Coffee starts there at 7:00 p.m.: Questions and Coffee starts at 8:00 p.m. in the north lobby, not at 7:00 p.m.
- the solar installer meets people there: The solar installer leads Rooftop Basics in Room 1. The guide does not say the installer waits at the entrance.
Correct Answer: keen and happy to work with neighbours
Why this is correct: Erin is excited to finally get answers. She mentions the Parkers' ideas and asks Malik to add his questions to her list.
Tips: To find a feeling, look at what the writer plans to do.
Why the other options are wrong:
- worried that the roof is unsafe: Erin never talks about danger. She wants to learn about solar panels.
- sure that she can decide for everyone: Erin wants the whole building to share ideas. She does not try to decide alone.
- bored by the whole topic: Erin plans the evening and makes a list, so she is clearly interested.
