Passage Reference: What do you like to play, Alexandra. My favourite is the guitar. However, I haven't played for years, so I keep hoping to start again.
Common Mistake: Some students choose violin because it is mentioned soon after for Rachel. That is a context shift trap because it refers to a different person.
