Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #36183 Short Migraine
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

A throbbing, pounding headache. Bright zigzagging lines across your field of vision. Sensitivity to light, lingering fatigue, disrupted sleep. A migraine can include any of these symptoms. While an incapacitating headache is one of the most common experiences of migraine, the word ‘headache" doesn't really capture the wide array of experiences a migraine can entail. No two are alike, and some don’t even involve a headache.

Option 2: "Migraine may include a variety of symptoms."

Explanation: The text explicitly mentions that a migraine can include symptoms such as a throbbing headache, sensitivity to light, and disrupted sleep, indicating a variety of symptoms. This aligns perfectly with the main idea of the text.

Option 1: "Disrupted sleep is the most common experience of migraine."

Explanation: The text states that an incapacitating headache is one of the most common experiences of migraine, not disrupted sleep. Therefore, this option misrepresents the information.

Option 3: "Headache is always involved in migraine."

Explanation: The text clarifies that some migraines don’t even involve a headache, contradicting this option. Thus, it inaccurately represents the speaker's message.

Option 4: "Light sensitivity is not the symptom of migraine."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text lists sensitivity to light as one of the symptoms of migraine, directly contradicting the statement.
