Instructions ›

Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Newly minted college students may think they are invincible, but approximately 4 million young adults arrive in emergency rooms each year because of car accidents, sexual assaults, medical illness, accidental injuries, alcohol poisonings and drug overdoses, according to data from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Especially in today's era of heightened security concerns, parents are eager for ways to ensure their college student's safety, and the Emergency app can help. The app was created by Gail Schenbaum, the mother of a college student who received a middle-of-the-night phone call from her daughter as she was being taken to the emergency room with a partial amputation. Ms. Schenbaum did not have any emergency contact information for her daughter's college, local hospitals, police department, or even roommates. That experience inspired Ms. Schenbaum to help college families navigate any emergency or safety situation.

Option 3: "Approx. 4 million young adults arrives emergency room every year."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that approximately 4 million young adults arrive in emergency rooms each year due to various reasons. This statement directly reflects the data provided by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, making it a true representation of the information in the text.

Option 1: "The safety app was designed by some teacher of the college."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text clearly states that the app was created by Gail Schenbaum, who is the mother of a college student, not a teacher. Therefore, the information presented in this option contradicts the text.

Option 2: "Parents are eager to protect their college students in today's era."

Explanation: While the text mentions that parents are eager for ways to ensure their college student's safety, it does not explicitly state that they are eager to protect them in today's era. This option is too broad and does not accurately reflect the specific context provided in the text.

Option 4: "Many students think they are in danger."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention that students think they are in danger. Instead, it states that newly minted college students may think they are invincible, which implies a lack of awareness of potential dangers rather than a belief that they are in danger.
