Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #37024 Short Father's Day

Instructions ›

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

Transcript:

It may be the only holiday on the calendar that rhymes. We're alluding to a multi-week span of celebrating both "Dads and Grads." in which Father's Day shares the spotlight with all those hardworking students who are jubilantly tossing mortarboards into the air — and somehow you have to come up with gifts to celebrate the hard work of both. Two things are certain: Dad doesn't need (or necessarily even want) another tie, and gold pens for grads are about as pass as teaching penmanship in school.

Which is the most appropriate option?

* Listen to the recording and select the correct answer

The whole family shares the spotlight with the hardworking students on their successful day. The students are tossing their mortarboards and are provided with the gifts for their hard-work. The fathers are never invited to share the stage with their children while Dads and Grads. Fathers do require a certain kind of new tie every time they attend an event.

Option 2: "The students are tossing their mortarboards and are provided with the gifts for their hard-work."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the text, which describes students tossing mortarboards into the air as a celebration of their achievements. It also implies that gifts are given to recognize their hard work, aligning with the overall theme of celebrating both 'Dads and Grads.'

Option 1: "The whole family shares the spotlight with the hardworking students on their successful day."

Explanation: This option incorrectly states that the whole family shares the spotlight. The text specifically mentions that Father's Day shares the spotlight with students, not the entire family. Therefore, this option misrepresents the focus of the celebration.

Option 3: "The fathers are never invited to share the stage with their children while Dads and Grads."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because it suggests that fathers are excluded from the celebration. The text does not state that fathers are never invited; rather, it highlights that Father's Day coincides with graduation celebrations, implying their presence.

Option 4: "Fathers do require a certain kind of new tie every time they attend an event."

Explanation: This option misinterprets the text. It suggests that fathers need new ties for events, while the text actually states that dads do not need another tie, indicating that this option contradicts the information provided.
