Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #46026 Medium Video
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Now let's talk video. Video and audio as a tool for mobile. And here's the thing. It also works beautifully for social media and web too. You kill three birds with one stone. Do you know why TV does so well and films do so well It's a really easy answer. We humans react best to seeing pictures of other humans talking back to us and playing all these stories and whatnot. Yet you'll find that most of the web is text. Yet when I have a four minute video, it does better or when I have a slide show that has an audio track to it, they do so much better than all my other content. Because we need that. This is a flat screen. We need to liven it up somehow. This is a small screen. It's not easy to read lengthy text. But if I create a lengthy article and then I create a three minute video or a set of three minute videos about it, then I'm now just repurposed and I have something to use. I have differentiated from all my competitors and I use a fancy QR code to link to these. Oh my god, we're innovating at the speed of Okay.

Option 4: "We, humans, respond best to video and audio."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the speaker's main argument that humans react best to seeing pictures of other humans and engaging with video and audio content. The text explicitly states this idea, making it the correct answer.

Option 1: "Their flat and small screens are easy to operate."

Explanation: This option incorrectly focuses on the ease of operation of screens rather than the content itself. The text emphasizes how humans react to video and audio rather than the physical characteristics of the screens.

Option 2: "They integrate well with social media and the web."

Explanation: While the speaker mentions that video works beautifully for social media and the web, this option does not address the main reason for the success of TV and films. The core argument is about human response to video and audio, not their integration with other platforms.

Option 3: "They get more information across than texts."

Explanation: This option suggests a comparison of information delivery between video and text, which is not the main point made by the speaker. The text highlights the human reaction to video and audio rather than the quantity of information conveyed.
