TOEIC L&R PRACTICE TEST 4

Listening Section

Part 1

1. Answer (D) The man in the photograph is indeed reading what looks like a magazine. There is neither server nor coffee in sight, so choice (A) cannot be correct. The man is dressed in a dress shirt and a suit jacket, not in a t-shirt, so choice (B) is wrong as well. One cannot see flowers on his table: choice (C) is imprecise. 2. Answer (C) The metro line runs on the bridge, not under it, and next to the tower, not around it: choices (A) and (B) are both incorrect. The bridge appears to be rather low, given the proportions of the photograph, so choice (D) is also wrong. Answer (C) is correct: there are at least two levels on the bridge, and perhaps more given what could be hidden behind the second level. 3. Answer (B) In the photograph, one can see lamps, not lampposts, which are all lit and of the same design: choice (A), (C), and (D) can be excluded. Choice (C) is correct: there are indeed several boxes under the lamps. 4. Answer (A) In the photograph, one can see a man watching a machine: choice (A) is correct. The machine is clearly not in motion, so choice (B) and (C) are wrong. Only two men can be seen in the picture (including the one in the tractor), so choice (D) is incorrect. 5. Answer (A) In the photograph, one can see a summer café, with some customers in the background and some empty tables: choice (A) is the best description. Some tables are indeed in the shadow, but of the parasols, not of plants. Some tables are indeed on the tiles, but not all of them. Finally, there are no waiters in sight. 6. Answer (D) The beach looks rather deserted, so choice (A) cannot be correct. The horses are neither galloping nor drinking: choices (B) and (C) are also wrong. Choice (D) is precise enough: there are four horses in the picture, each carrying a rider.

Part 2 7. Answer (C) Response (C) gives a concrete answer to the question asked: “No, because I need it myself.” Response (B) contains a contradiction: “yes” vs. “you actually don’t need it.” Response (A) does not provide a clear yes-or-no answer. 8. Answer (C) The question can be interpreted as, “What shall we discuss first?” Response (C) provides a suggestion: tomorrow’s reception. Choice (A) is too vague to be a good response to the question. 9. Answer (A) The question “how many” requires an indication of a number. Response (A) gives exactly that: “three, but I am not sure.” Response (B) also gives the number but talks about years of service, not the number of attendants. Response (C) does not provide a number; note that it could be correct if it said, “I am sure that all flight attendants will show up,” meaning that no extras are needed. 10. Answer (C) The question is about whether revealing certain information is allowed or not. Response (C) implies, “I don’t know, but you should ask the Legal Department, as they definitely know the answer.” The other choices are too general and do not contain any yes-or-no answer. 11. Answer (C) It is unlikely that a cashier can repair the camera; conversely, the technicians definitely can. While Donald might know enough about using the camera, it doesn’t automatically mean that he can repair it. 12. Answer (B) The question is about information, not things, so choices (A) and (C) cannot be correct. Response (B) is right: there are several pieces of news, positive and negative. 13. Answer (A) Answer choices (B) and (C) don’t fit the context: the first speaker clearly talks about one banner only, and the question is not whether or not it should be used. Response (A) simply implies that the second speaker had already made several changes to the banner. 14. Answer (C) The question contains the word “where,” and so the response should indicate a location. The only response containing a location is (C): downtown. 15. Answer (A) The situation takes place in a restaurant, and only response (A) fits that context. 16. Answer (C)

The question is whether tomorrow is a day-off or not. Response (C) says, “no,” and specifies that it’s actually next week. The other answer choices talk about the second speaker’s intentions, not the day-off. 17. Answer (A) The question calls for the yes-or-no answer. Only answer choice (A) provides it: “yes, I have, and I have even had time to unpack my luggage.” The other two choices do not help infer a yes-or-no answer. 18. Answer (C) “Commute” is “take transportation to work,” usually from the suburbs to the city center or from one city to another. Response (A) is too general for a question concerning a concrete person. Choice (B) confuses commuting and communication. Only choice (C) fits the context: the second speaker implies that the commuting time by train differs from that by car. 19. Answer (C) The first speaker shares a favorable opinion about a restaurant (where the speakers are or which they have just left) and asks for the second speaker’s opinion as well. The only response expressing an opinion is choice (C): it is also favorable. 20. Answer (B) The problem can be explained by the fact that there is not enough space left on the phone: answer choice (B). Low download speed is not a valid explanation, technically speaking. Advice to stop downloading apps does not explain the problem at all. 21. Answer (A) The question requires an answer regarding how easy it was to park a car. Only response (A) talks about parking the car: in this area, it is always difficult. 22. Answer (B) The question asks about the second speaker’s viewpoint. Only response (B) refers to the second speaker. Response (A) talks about some unidentified woman, whereas response (C) talks about the first speaker without talking about the second one. 23. Answer (B) All the responses deliver a yes-or-no answer, but only choice (B) actually confirms that yes, the outage will take place. The other two are not specific enough. 24. Answer (A) The question contains the word “where,” requiring a location in the response. The only choice containing a location is (A). 25. Answer (B) The reasons given in answer choices (A) and (C) would explain the promotion of Mr. Ishikawa rather than Ms. Aris and are therefore incorrect. Response (B), while succinct, explains the promotion decision sufficiently.

26. Answer (A) Response (A) provides a clear answer: “your presentation is good as it is.” Choice (B) is contradictory (“yes” vs. “make it longer”), and choice (C) does not talk about the presentation’s length. 27. Answer (A) The question asks for a method (“how”). Response (A) gives a method of transportation: the metro. 28. Answer (C) Response (C) is the correct answer, as the second speaker means “there is no need to print them.” Choice (A) is contradictory, and choice (B) nonsensical as the second speaker knows that the tickets are already purchased (“my tickets”). 29. Answer (B) The question asks for a timeframe of a meeting: “when.” Choices (A) and (C) do not provide any timeframe of a meeting. Choice (B) doesn’t either, but gives a general answer, “This is not known yet.” 30. Answer (B) Choice (B) implies that “yes, and they are in the top drawer.” The other two answer choices are nonsensical, as the first speaker asks specifically for envelopes, which should be white. 31. Answer (A) The question is about a consequence of the floods for the company’s supplies. Answer choice (A) is correct: floods will probably affect the supplies of wheat. Response (B) is factually incorrect: Eastern Europe is not a producer of bananas. Response (C) does not concern the consequences of the floods.

Part 3 32. Answer (D) None of the first three answer choices can be inferred from the conversation: there is, basically, nothing said about the man. Answer choice (D), however, can be assumed as correct: if the man doesn’t know what the woman’s job consists of, then it is clear that he doesn’t know her very well. 33. Answer (C) The second part of woman’s responsibilities is “referring [clients] to other specialists within the office to help them with their financial goals.” Answer choice (C) paraphrases this statement correctly, whereas all the other answer choices misinterpret it. 34. Answer (B) Talking about her job, the woman says, “It’s not always a lot of multitasking,” which means that the job is quite repetitive, even monotonous: answer choice (B) is correct. Choice (C) is contradicted directly by the woman herself (“it is very fast-paced”); choice (A) can be inferred as wrong from the conclusion of the conversation; finally, nothing is said about the difficulty of the job, so choice (D) cannot be considered correct. 35. Answer (B) The expression “I am dying to know” means “I can’t wait to get the news.” In other words, the woman is impatient to find out who the new boss will be. 36. Answer (B) The man says, “they’re putting the decision off until we finish the Caplinger Project. It would be difficult for a new manager to get in in the middle of the project.” This means that he agrees with the higher management that it is not a good idea to hire a manager while the Caplinger Project is in progress. Answer choice (B) states exactly that. Other answer choices find no confirmation in the conversation: nothing is said about difficulties finding a suitable candidate, about several candidates, or about the date when the Caplinger Project will be finished. 37. Answer (A) Speaking of Nadine Sommers, the woman says, “it would be amazing to get to work with her.” In other words, the woman admires Nadine Sommers as a professional: answer choice (A) is correct. 38. Answer (B) The man starts by saying that the event has been very busy: this excludes choices (C) and (D). He goes on by saying that he has “hardly made any worthwhile connections.” In other words, the event has been far from “extremely fruitful” and can be characterized as “not beneficial.” 39. Answer (D) The woman says, “I’ve actually met a few billing specialists that are going to help me gain more insight into how I work with my clients.” That is, her specialization is billing addressed to the clients, or sales billing.

40. Answer (A) The woman asks the man, “Do you prefer that I introduce you to them while we are still here, or would you like me to share my new experience with you later?” meaning that both options are possible. Answer choice (A) summarizes these two options correctly and is, therefore, the right answer. Other answer choices distort the information from the conversation. 41. Answer (C) Although never stated directly, the place the woman is looking for is a restaurant where she could meet with clients: the speakers discuss cuisine and seating. Answer choice (C) is therefore correct. 42. Answer (D) The man’s personal preferences are never discussed in the conversation; therefore, choices (A), (B), and (C) cannot be correct. Only choice (D) fits: the man doesn’t know any sushi restaurant around, but suggests that the woman try a Vietnamese restaurant instead. 43. Answer (D) Speaking of Jade Teahouse, the man says, “they have excellent seating for larger parties.” Answer choice (D) paraphrases this idea correctly. Choices (A) and (C) contradict directly the details from the conversation, and choice (B) is not supported by anything the two speakers say. 44. Answer (C) The woman asks Oguz to “make a trip to the supply room,” and Oguz later asks, “what do you need?” implying “what kind of supplies do you need?” It is therefore clear that she is asking him to bring some supplies from the supply room, or “fetch” them. Answer choice (C) is correct. 45. Answer (A) The woman says, “I need paper for all three of the printers.” That is, there are a total of 3 printers in the office. 46. Answer (B) The phrase “I’ll have to make a few trips!” is a response to the list of supplies that the woman gives to Oguz. In this context, it means that the woman needs a lot of supplies – more than what Oguz can carry at once. 47. Answer (C) The man and woman mention a “match,” “competitors,” and “spectators.” All this makes clear that the event in question is a sports competition. 48. Answer (D) Although never stated directly, the correct answer can be deduced the following way: the man initially suggests opening the doors for spectators at 10 a.m. This helps infer that the event will undoubtedly start after 10 a.m.: the only answer choice possible is (D). 49. Answer (A)

When the woman suggests opening the doors earlier, the man replies, “Yes, let’s.” This means that he agrees with her. 50. Answer (A) The man wants the woman to translate several written documents. It can, therefore, be easily assumed that the woman is a translator. Note that an interpreter is someone who “translates” oral speech. 51. Answer (C) The newsletters need to be translated into Swedish, German, and Italian. Although speakers of these three languages can obviously be found anywhere in the world, they are mostly concentrated in Europe. 52. Answer (C) The type of documents and the languages are listed clearly by the man. The person responsible is the woman herself: “I’ll let you know when I can finish them.” The only unknown aspect of the translation project is the time needed to complete it: the woman says that she needs to take a look at the documents first in order to give an estimate. 53. Answer (A) The woman starts by saying, “Thank you for being with us today” and then asks questions that the man answers. It is therefore clear that she is interviewing the man. Note that the man does not ask any question himself. 54. Answer (A) The man says, “After our management change, the marketing team was able to...” making it clear that the management changed six months ago (the date mentioned by the woman in her question). 55. Answer (B) According to the man, the shareholders “can count on hefty dividends next year.” Therefore, the company is not only making profits, but the level of these profits is rather high. Answer choice (B) is therefore correct. Nothing in the conversation touches upon the number of the shareholders, the company’s industry, or its employees. 56. Answer (D) The woman is at a station, and the man is at the office. Therefore, it is clear that they are talking on the phone. 57. Answer (C) The man says, “We basically need your signature for approval on several things.” This means that he needs her to sign documents. Note that choice (D) cannot be correct, as the man specifically states, “no need to rush!” 58. Answer (B)

The woman says, “I should be back in time for a few hours of work” and concludes the conversation by saying, “I’ll see you guys around 4:30.” In other words, she will arrive at the office at 4:30 and work for several hours upon her arrival. 59. Answer (C) Gabriela starts the conversation by introducing the topic and then leads the exchange all the way through. It can therefore be assumed that she supervises Helen and Jordi. 60. Answer (B) Jordi says, “I have to work from home most of next week.” In other words, he would prefer to work on the part of the project that could be done from home, not at the office. 61. Answer (A) Helen concludes by saying, “I’ll just take on a few hours here to trade off with Jordi.” In other words, some parts of the projects will be switched/exchanged between Helen and Jordi so he can work from home. Note that Gabriela’s involvement in the project is never discussed, and therefore choices (C) and (D) cannot be assumed as correct. 62. Answer (A) Regarding the SUV sales, the woman says, “We actually had great success with SUV sales this spring, which was contrary to our trends from three years ago, but they have been steadily decreasing again since then.” In other words, this year the sales have been unusually high in the beginning of the year, but then decreased towards the end of the year. Answer choice (A) describes this trend. All the other answer choices distort the information given by the woman. 63. Answer (C) Answering the man’s question about the minivan sales, the woman says, “Stagnating.” It can, therefore, be assumed that the sales of these vehicles are the same this year as they were last year. 64. Answer (D) “Second most successful” type in the graphic would be the type occupying the largest sector not counting the SUV, which is the most successful. In this chart, it’s the pickup truck. 65. Answer (B) The man says, “I’ve been informed our membership benefits are changing, so I was wondering if you could tell me about them,” and the woman replies, “Sure, we just finalized the coupon schedule.” This means that coupons are actually membership benefits, and therefore they are destined for the members – most probably of a buyers’ club. 66. Answer (C) The woman says, “We have actually introduced our biggest discount so far: $25, but, to be honest, that’s the only change for the coming week.” The 25-dollar discount appears on the Saturday coupon. Therefore, it’s the Saturday coupon that changed, compared to the previous schedule.

67. Answer (D) Speaking of the coupon schedule, the man asks, “Can you email that schedule to me?” and the woman answers, “Of course; you will have it in a moment.” In other words, she will email the schedule to the man right upon the conversation. Answer choice (D) is therefore correct. It’s the man, not the woman who will send out the coupons, and the work on the coupon schedule is already finished. 68. Answer (A) In the beginning of the conversation, the man worries about not having enough teachers for the course, which is due to the fact that there are more students than usual and one teacher fewer than usual. Answer choice (A) summarizes this situation correctly. There have indeed been too many sign-ups, but this is not a true concern, so choice (B) can’t be right. Choices (C) and (D) distort the information from the conversation. 69. Answer (B) Responding to the man’s concern, the woman states, “I’m confident we will be fine.” This excludes choices (A), (C), and (D). The woman then explains that she has anticipated the problem and already taken care of it: outsourced the classes to another provider; therefore, answer choice (B) is correct. 70. Answer (D) The woman says, “Class time has been extended to four hours,” which means that one class lasts 4 hours. According to the teaching plan, each course takes place over 5 days (“Monday through Friday”). Therefore, the total duration of the course is 20 hours.

Part 4 71. Answer (D) The talk is clearly a sales speech: the speaker’s company produces software for hospitals. Individuals making IT-related purchasing decisions at a hospital are usually neither surgeons nor nurses, and even less so patients: only answer choice (D) is possible. 72. Answer (A) Data protection, mining, and restructuring are never mentioned in the talk. Data entry is: “both enhance the productivity of your filing systems and create an easier way to input and review patient information.” 73. Answer (C) Talking about the tablets, the speaker says, “We have prototype tablets specifically built for hospital use and are willing to provide them for free to your staff, on the condition that you help us in the process by sending feedback on their performance.” In other words, the company is still experimenting with the tablets: their performance is not as sure as that of a final product. Basically, the speaker’s company would like to test them in real conditions. Answer choice (C) is therefore correct. They are provided for free but are not a gift for new patients, who were not mentioned in the talk. 74. Answer (D) The speaker mentions, “A special going on right now until 4 p.m.” and specifies, “Any item ordered will include … an additional two years on its factory warranty.” Therefore, in order to take advantage of the offer, the shopper should order a piece of furniture today before 4 p.m. 75. Answer (B) According to the announcement, “If you have a Furniture Warehouse card or would like to open an account with us today, any purchases made before the end of this year will have 0% interest financing.” Therefore, the cardholders get financing free of charge, and answer choice (B) is correct. Free shipping and assembly are offered to all customers who purchase furniture today before 4 p.m., not only to cardholders. Free furniture is not offered to anyone, according to the talk. 76. Answer (B) The speaker mentions specifically “our help desk to the left of the entry doors.” 77. Answer (A) “There are a few tricks to getting it just right” means, in this context, “You need to know certain aspects of preparing pasta well if you want to succeed.” Answer choice (A) conveys this kind of message. The speaker doesn’t say anything about how many cooks actually fail in the process (choice B) or how much time it takes to overcome difficulties (choice D). Answer choice (C) contradicts directly what the speaker says about the ingredients. 78. Answer (B)

According to the speaker, “Most recipes recommend 100 grams of flour to one large egg, which makes about two servings.” “Serving” is a synonym for “helping.” If you need 100 grams of flour and 1 egg for 2 helpings, then logically for 4 helpings you need 200 grams of flour and 2 eggs. 79. Answer (C) Speaking of cut noodles, the speaker advises, “lightly dust them with flour to prevent sticking together when boiling.” In other words, the flour makes it easier to cook/boil the pasta. All the other answer choices misinterpret terms from other stages of preparing pasta. 80. Answer (C) According to the speaker, Brigitte will “shadow” Vincenzo on the first day, meaning that she will follow him in order to get a grasp of his job. However, this is true for the first day only. For the first week, Brigitte “will be partnered with another employee for the first week until you get the hang of things,” meaning that she will learn from someone other than Vincenzo. Thus, answer choice (C) is correct. 81. Answer (D) The speaker states, “If you don’t have any customers, your main duty will be inventorying returned books.” In other words, as soon as there is not a single customer in the library, Brigitte should get to inventorying: answer choice (D). 82. Answer (A) According to the last sentence of the talk, “If a customer has a question you cannot answer, the manager or I will be in the back office, and we will try to assist you.” In other words, Brigitte should ask the manager or the speaker for help: answer choice (A) is correct. Regarding choice (C), note that the speaker does not tell Brigitte to send (“refer”) the customer to the back office, so this choice cannot be right. 83. Answer (D) Addressing the audience, the speaker says, “You have taken up the opportunity to bring additional friends and family, exactly what we love to see!” In other words, he is particularly happy about seeing the members of the Society bringing so many new participants to the event – their family member and friends. Answer choice (D) is correct. Answer choice (A) confuses “twentieth” and “twelfth.” Answer choice (B) is wrong because the speaker does not mention his family and friends. Answer choice (C) is incorrect because nothing in the speech is either stated or implied about the speaker’s previous absence. 84. Answer (C) The speaker states, “This year, we have decided to extend this event to a three-day charity marathon.” Mentioning “this year,” the speaker actually means that the previous years’ events were shorter. Answer choice (C) is correct. Choices (A) and (B) can hardly be considered “unusual” for an event organized by a charity, and nothing is said specifically regarding the participation of partner organizations at such events, so answer choice (D) cannot be assumed as correct.

85. Answer (D) The speaker describes the association in question as “The Red House Association, who source building materials and organize building projects for those in need of housing.” In other words, The Red House Association is a charity working in construction, delivering housing to the poor. 86. Answer (A) While not stated directly in the message, the intentions of Ms. Dominguez can be easily inferred: “I believe I need to explain my reasons,” followed by a series of complaints, and the conclusion “I have decided to seek out a new primary care provider” are excellent indicators that she will not use Dr. Almeida’s medical services anymore, making choice (A) correct. While she is requesting a copy of her medical history, it is not in order to review it, but just to keep it, so choice (B) is incorrect. 87. Answer (B) Ms. Dominguez states, “Upon your offices merging with a larger hospital, I have found it unnecessarily difficult to obtain care.” That is, Dr. Almeida’s office became part of a larger medical establishment, which has negatively affected Ms. Dominguez’s experience with Dr. Almeida’s services. Note that answer choices (C) and (D) represent consequences of, not reasons for the changes. 88. Answer (B) According to Ms. Dominguez, “the care provided seems impersonal and rushed.” Answer choice (B) is the best fit: “too detached” is a synonym for “impersonal,” whereas “hasty” is a synonym for “rushed.” Note that the message says nothing about the efficiency of the services, so answer choice (D) cannot be correct. 89. Answer (A) The talk, in general, contains recommendations, or advice, for a person intending to buy a used car. Nothing is advertised, and, while there are slight elements of argumentation and analysis, they are not sufficient to qualify the speech as such. 90. Answer (C) While all the answer choices describe plausibly the water damage and are confirmed by the speaker, the question is specifically about the reasons for its importance. In this sense, answer choice (C) is correct: if the consequences are irreparable, then indeed the water damage should be taken into account. 91. Answer (C) The speaker mentions “the service history of the vehicle, which will tell you about any previous problem with the car that has been fixed.” In other words, the service history is a document that lists all the repairs and fixes that the car has received in its lifetime. Thus, answer choice (C) is correct. Answer choice (A) is insufficient, and choice (B) refers to the accident history rather than service history of a car. 92. Answer (A)

The speaker says, “We have been partaking in paperless billing, exclusively using our online filing system since 2010.” In other words, the sales invoices (synonym for “bills” in this context) have existed exclusively in electronic format since 2010 and are never printed. 93. Answer (A) The speaker states, “Our cafeteria makes use of a compost system that we have installed behind the building to make the most of food waste,” meaning that the main effort coming from the cafeteria concerns reducing the waste of food by recycling it. Avoiding paper waste and package waste are company-wide efforts not limited to the cafeteria, whereas eliminating straws, while a great environmental idea, is not mentioned as such in the speech. 94. Answer (B) According to the last sentence of the speech, the purpose of the audits is “to evaluate our supply-to-waste ratio and make the adjustments to reduce any unnecessary consumption of supplies.” In other words, the final goal of the audits is to reduce the unnecessary consumption: answer choice (B) paraphrases this statement correctly. All the other answer choices distort the information given in the sentence. 95. Answer (C) Speaking of the logo, Gina says, “the structure is the same but the text color is now just black and white,” – in other words, it’s only the color that should be modified. 96. Answer (B) Gina says, “We’ve also added a new chapter, to be placed third,” and later adds, “I am emailing you the new graphics format.” This means that the email contains the inserted chapter, which is at position No. 3: “Action Plan.” 97. Answer (C) The idiomatic expression “last but not least” means “this is the last item on the list, but not the least in terms of importance.” 98. Answer (D) While not stated directly in the talk, it can be easily inferred that Jakub’s store sells vegetable seeds, not vegetables. Therefore, answer choice (D) is correct. Note that choice (B), a farm producing seeds, is Mr. Wang’s business. 99. Answer (D) Jakub says, “we would like to sign you on as a permanent vendor.” Note that this does not mean that he is offering Mr. Wang a job (choice C), but rather that he is suggesting that Mr. Wang’s farm become a permanent supplier of seeds for Jakub’s store (choice D). 100. Answer (B) Jakub asks Mr. Wang, in form of a suggestion, “if you could increase the number of tomato seeds per packet.” That is, instead of the current number of 30-40 seeds, each Amelia Hybrid packet should have more seeds, e.g. 50-60.

Reading Section

Part 5 101. Answer (C) The correct expression implying that a person has already visited a place is “to have been to.” 102. Answer (D) The subject of the phrase – the noun “staples” – is plural. Therefore, the verb of the phrase (here, “to be”) must also be plural: this excludes choices (A) and (C). There is a time marker in the phrase: “just yesterday evening,” meaning that the action in question took place in the past, so the tense of the verb must be the past simple. 103. Answer (D) This conditional structure refers to an “impossible condition” in the present. Therefore, the verb in the if-clause should be in the past simple tense. However, in standard English, the verb “to be” in the past simple tense of the if-clause takes the form of “were” for all persons and numbers: “If I were.” 104. Answer (A) In the context of this phrase, the correct expression is “years ago,” meaning that the account has been considered closed for many years. 105. Answer (D) The correct expression meaning “produce noise” is “make noise,” not “do.” When the verb “stop” is used to mean “interrupt a process currently taking place,” it should be followed by the gerund: “stop doing.” Therefore, the only acceptable option is “stop making that noise.” 106. Answer (B) The modal verb “can” in the tag is negative; thus, in the main clause, it must be affirmative. “Found” in this context is the past participle of the verb “find,” not the present simple form of the verb “found” – this means that a passive voice construction is in use and therefore the verb “be” must follow the modal verb “can.” 107. Answer (C) The correct verbal phrase meaning “make a device start functioning” is “switch on,” or “turn on.” Thus, choice (C) is correct. 108. Answer (B) The adjective “wide” is a one-syllable word and, as such, forms its comparative degree by adding the suffix -er rather than the word “more.” 109. Answer (B) The phrase is about a very specific moment in the future: “tomorrow at 10.” Therefore, to describe an action taking place during that moment, one should use the future progressive tense: “will be delivering.”

110. Answer (D) The verb in the main clause is in the past simple tense: “promised.” Therefore, the verb in the dependent clause (“indirect speech”) referring to an unknown moment that was “future” in the moment of “promising” (specifically, “the following week”) should be in the future-in-the-past tense: “would back up the files.” 111. Answer (A) The phrase is in the passive voice. The agent of the action in passive voice structures is introduced by the preposition “by” (contrary to the tool of the action, which is introduced by the preposition “with”). 112. Answer (B) The blank is preceded by the verb “have” and followed by another verb (in this case “do”), which means that the pronoun following it must be in the objective case: “him.” 113. Answer (A) “Things” is a countable noun; therefore, among the words expressing quantities, it can take “many,” “a lot of,” and “plenty of.” Only answer choice (A) fits grammatically. 114. Answer (B) The correct spelling of the adjective derived from the noun “fraud” is “fraudulent.” 115. Answer (C) The question word in this context is about a location rather than an object (“Minneapolis”). The question word referring to a location is “where.” 116. Answer (A) The general question containing a negative form of a modal verb is usually formed by placing the modal verb, contracted with the particle “not,” in front of the subject: “Can’t you.” Answer choice (A) is therefore correct. Note that choice (D) could also be correct, but only if it were spelled “You cannot” and in very colloquial contexts. 117. Answer (A) The context of the phrase calls for the indefinite article. Since the word “usual” starts with a consonant sound (albeit with a vowel letter), the correct article is “a,” rather than “an.” 118. Answer (A) The choice of industry can be deduced through the context of the phrase: platforms such as television, radio, and the Internet are used for advertising, rather than design, logistics, or security. 119. Answer (B) Whenever two items are “negated,” the correct negative pronoun is “neither,” rather than “none.” 120. Answer (C)

The question is about the qualities of the curtains or the options to choose from. The only possibility for the question word is therefore “which,” signifying the options to choose from. 121. Answer (C) While all the answer choices represent words indicating the superior member of a business entity, only the word “leader” can be used when talking about a team. 122. Answer (D) The correct negative conjugation in the imperative mood is “do not do” or “don’t do.” Thus, answer choice (D) is the only possibility. 123. Answer (C) The double conjunction “neither … nor …” is used to negate two items and is employed as such in this phrase. 124. Answer (A) The correct term for marking printed or on-screen text with a transparent marker (regardless of color) is “highlight.” 125. Answer (B) The word “data” is a noun. Therefore, the word “enough” qualifying it should be placed before it. Additionally, the noun “data” is plural already (its singular form being “datum”) or, in certain contexts, singular and uncountable – in either case, it does not take -s to form its plural. Therefore, the correct expression for the blank is “enough data.” 126. Answer (C) The context calls for an adverb indicating a consequence. Answer choices (A) and (B) are not adverbs: they are a pronoun and a conjunction, respectively. Choice (D) is an adverbial pronoun but does not fit the context, as it refers to a location, not a consequence. The only possible option is “thus,” signifying “this way” or “for this reason.” 127. Answer (D) The phrase uses the structure of the past conditional, implying that the action took place in the past and thus expressing an impossible outcome. In this sense, the verb in the main clause must be conjugated in the past conditional: “would have done.” From the context of the phrase (“so long”), it is easy to determine that the verb must be in the negative; therefore, the correct clause is “we would not have missed our flight!” 128. Answer (A) The main clause of the sentence refers to the future (“you will be”); therefore, the dependent clause also refers to the future, regardless of the nominal verb conjugation. The only adverb describing the future among the answer choices is “tomorrow.” 129. Answer (D)

The subject of the phrase is “The bank,” so the personal pronoun referring to the subject in the tag is “it,” not “they.” The verb in the phrase is the modal verb “must,” used in its affirmative form; therefore, in the tag, it should be the same modal verb in its negative form: “mustn’t.” 130. Answer (B) The blank calls for a verb that would describe a noun (“the bill”) and, following the adverb “too,” be an adjective or a participle. This excludes choices (C) and (D), an adverb and a noun, respectively. Choosing between the two remaining participles, note that the present participle (“exaggerating”) has a connotation of an active agent (“the one who exaggerates”), whereas the past participle (“exaggerated”) has that of an object (“the one being exaggerated”) and is, therefore, the better option.

Part 6

131. Answer (C) The phrase preceding the blank is too general and does not provide much indication as to what the phrase replacing the blank should contain. The phrase following the blank, however, does: “While …, we want to introduce our new…” means that there is a comparison between something “old” or “previous” and the new concept. Additionally, it mentions “these,” meaning that the phrase replacing the blank must have a plural antecedent: certain things that are “still important.” Choice (A), while mentioning the “previous” version, contains no antecedent for “these.” Choice (B), conversely, contains an antecedent but does not refer to anything “previous,” as it is entirely in the future tense. Choice (D) simply continues the topic of the first phrase of the email, without presenting any transition to the next sentence. Option (C) is correct: it lists the previous features of the game, which are both a reference to the past and a grammatical antecedent of “these” in the following phrase. 132. Answer (D) The blank should contain a qualifier for a verb (in this case, “have worked”). Only an adverb can qualify a verb, so choices (A) and (C) can be excluded, as they are adjectives. Lexically, choice (D) is better than (B), since (D) means “without getting tired,” whereas (B) means “making someone tired.” 133. Answer (C) The blank is calling for a word that would have a sense of “aspect,” “idea,” or “line.” The word “point” represents these three concepts best. 134. Answer (D) The article “the” and the adjective “final” preceding the blank indicate that the blank should be filled with either a noun or a gerund: choices (A) and (C) can be eliminated, as they are personal verbal forms. It is unlikely that the “deciding” will be discussed at a meeting; however, discussing the “decision” is rather probable: choice (D) is correct. 135. Answer (B) The context of the advertisement calls for a word that would identify correctly the participants of a blood drive. People who donate blood during a blood drive are called donors. It is virtually impossible that an ad would require 20 doctors, blood recipients, or specifically the company’s managers to participate in the event. 136. Answer (B) While all the four answer choices fit logically and stylistically, only “excellent” fits phonetically: the blank is preceded by the indefinite article “an,” indicating that the word in the blank must start with a vowel sound. 137. Answer (D) “Popular” is a three-syllable adjective and therefore forms its superlative with the word “most” rather than with the suffix -est. The logic of the superlative requires that it be preceded by the

definite article “the” in this context. Thus, the correct form is “the most popular” – answer choice (D). 138. Answer (C) The text is defined as “advertisement”; therefore, it should be finishing with a phrase inciting the reader to take action in order to seize the opportunity presented in the ad. Choice (C) does exactly that: it invites the reader to contact the advertiser in order to arrange the blood drive while appealing to the reader’s good nature. Choice (A) contradicts the information from the text: the medical team in question does need volunteers’ help to organize the event, and the volunteers must be provided by the business that signs up for the blood drive. Choice (B) sounds more like a conclusion of a want ad (“applying for this position”), which this text is not. Choice (D) is illogical in the context of the ad: there is no concrete event yet, so it would be difficult to distribute information about it. 139. Answer (D) The letter requests that the campers minimize the damage done to the environment by being careful. The expression “to take precautions” delivers that meaning. 140. Answer (B) The choice of preposition is relatively clear here: one drives on the surface of a trail; therefore, it’s the preposition “on” that’s the best fit. 141. Answer (A) The main clause is “It is recommended that.” Whenever the main clause of a sentence is a recommendation or a command, the verb in the dependent clause should be conjugated in the subjunctive: “be” is the correct answer. 142. Answer (A) The sentence replacing the blank should complete the paragraph, but not the entire letter. In this sense, choices (B) and (C) are wrong, sounding more like general conclusions. Choice (D) presents a universal truth, stylistically ill-fitting in the rather imperative tone of the letter. Choice (A) is correct, as it continues the topic of fire-making from the previous sentence with a concrete recommendation. 143. Answer (A) The opening phrase of any passage usually introduces its main idea and prepares the reader for a detailed explanation of this idea. Choice (A) is the best here, as it states what the guidelines are about: emergencies and the need for an evacuation route. Choice (B), while sounding like a usual opening phrase of any instructions, is at odds with the rest of the passage: the text provides general principles of organizing the response to emergencies and therefore cannot be “followed precisely.” Choice (C) could be as good as (A), but contradicts the rest of the passage because of the word “residence”: the entire text is about emergency procedures at the workplace, not at home. Choice (D) is too extreme and emotional for an otherwise objective style of the text. 144. Answer (C)

All the four words have a sense of “take place” or “show up,” but only “happen” has a connotation of an accidental, rather than deliberate, action. 145. Answer (A) The correct idiomatic expression is “prefer A to B,” and therefore “A is preferable to B.” 146. Answer (B) The sentence already contains a negation “not”; therefore, choice (A) can be eliminated right away. “To not leave everyone” or “each one” doesn’t make much sense in the context, as it would mean that a lot of employees would be left in the building during the evacuation. Thus, only choice (B) fits both logically and grammatically: “to not leave anyone” means “to leave no one.”

Part 7 147. Answer (A) The posting explains that there is currently construction on Highway 84 (assumed to be the usual route of Bus 14) and that, while it is in progress, Bus 14 will use Highway 26 instead. Therefore, answer choice (A) is correct. Answer choices (C) and (D) are consequences of the modifications, not its reasons, and extra stops (choice (B)) are not mentioned anywhere in the text. 148. Answer (C) The second paragraph of the posting states, “As the seasons get rainier, we will also be adding minutes to our other routes to ensure the roads are safely driven.” That is, the routes stay the same, but will take slightly longer, because of the rain: answer choice (C) is correct. 149. Answer (D) In her 11:15 message, Joan Ferguson says, replying to Maret Siinmaa’s message about the meeting, “we have plenty of time till noon,” implying that the meeting will take place at noon. Noon is 12 p.m. 150. Answer (A) In this context, “grab” means “take” or “pick up.” Ms. Siinmaa wants to know if Ms. Ferguson has picked up the documents from the office. 151. Answer (B) The email mentions, “After your first free month runs out…” This means that the first month of hosting is indeed free of charge: answer choice (B) is correct. Nothing is said about individuals (choice (A)) or the relative cost of the services (choice (D)). The 30% discount mentioned in choice (C) is offered to those who sign up for 2 years of hosting, not to all new clients. 152. Answer (C) According to the email, “If you refer our hosting service to others, … which … gives you 10% off … for a full year.” Answer choice (C) is therefore correct. A free month of hosting has been offered to the recipient of the email before any referral; receiving 2 years for free is never mentioned; 30% off for a year is offered to the referred clients. 153. Answer (D) The form states that Petra Wallenstein chose the “Family Vacation” package for her stay. Therefore, it can be assumed that she spent her vacation at the resort with her family: answer choice (D) is correct, as “relatives” is synonymous with “family” in this context. 154. Answer (B) In her final comment, Ms. Wallenstein writes, “Provide more poolside and catering staff.” This implies that the number of personnel was often insufficient at the resort: answer choice (B) is correct. 155. Answer (D)

According to the text, the event will have two parts: a meeting with adolescent psychology experts and a celebration of the end of the school year. Answer choice (D) is therefore correct. All the other answer choices distort the information from the text; for instance, choice (A) adds “students” to the invitation that is in fact addressed only to faculty and staff of the school. 156. Answer (C) The invitation states, “These lectures will be mostly covering how to increase retention of the class subject.” Answer choice (C) paraphrases this idea correctly. Answer choice (A) is too broad of a subject to be correct, and choices (B) and (D) distort the information from the text. 157. Answer (B) Proceed by elimination. “Games” are directly mentioned in the invitation. “Drinks and snacks” can be considered “treats.” “Sweepstakes” is a synonym for “raffles,” mentioned in the text. Only dances, answer choice (B), are not mentioned in any form. 158. Answer (C) The phrase before the advertising text states, “I would like your approval for this ad.” Answer choice (C) paraphrases this correctly: “validate” is a synonym of “approve” in this context. 159. Answer (B) The ad proposed by Hariata Paetahi states, “Try our new line of copper-plated cookware, … endorsed and used by Chef Jocelyn Marguerite herself!” It can therefore be inferred that Jocelyn Marguerite is presented as a celebrity chef who, by endorsing the products, will enhance the brand awareness. Answer choice (B) is correct. Answer choice (A) is wrong: it is stated specifically that the cookware is made of steel and copper. The warranty (or “guarantee”) on the products is 5 years, not 10 (“decennial”), so choice (C) is incorrect. Finally, choice (D) is also wrong: the ad mentions several times that the cookware can be ordered online and shipped worldwide. 160. Answer (D) The ad states, “if you purchase any item in-store, you get a second item of the same brand at half-price.” In other words, in order to get 50% off a product, one must buy two products in a store and thus obtain the 50% discount on the second of the two. 161. Answer (D) The only occasion when the text uses the “you” form of address is in the last paragraph of the notice: “inspection of your apartment.” This is a clear indication that the notice is addressed to the occupants of the apartments, or, as choice (D) suggests, the residents of the building. 162. Answer (B) The notice states, “Due to this recent maintenance, there have been changes to the building’s heating system.” Clearly, the changes after the maintenance can be only positive, and so one can speak of improvements: answer choice (B) is correct. Nothing else is said about any kind of change in the areas related to the three remaining answer choices. 163. Answer (C)

The phrase to insert talks about a problem that can be remedied by contacting the building’s management. While there are several problems mentioned in the text, the problem has to be “clerical,” or, in this context, paperwork-related. The only such problem mentioned in the text is related to the billing for the heating, and therefore the correct position to insert the phrase is [3]. 164. Answer (D) The first paragraph of the advertisement clearly indicates the target audience of CommunityAssist’s services: those who have recently moved to a new town or city and are not yet familiar with it. While those with children (and even those caring about the environment) can clearly benefit from CommunityAssist’s services, they are not the primary audience of the ad. 165. Answer (D) As mentioned several times throughout the text, CommunityAssist provides only information about the activities in a particular location. It does not deliver any products or direct services. 166. Answer (C) According to the text, “Resource Help” covers “post offices, police departments, information about local school districts, and much more.” Public transportation can clearly be categorized within the same “scope.” 167. Answer (A) The last paragraph of the ad, dedicated to promotional deals, reads, “Some of these offers include 30% off meal tickets at select restaurants.” Answer choice (A) summarizes this phrase appropriately. Answer choice (B) confuses the information about restaurants and amusement parks from the paragraph. Both of the choices (C) and (D) are wrong because of the word “all.” 168. Answer (A) Answer choice (C) can be excluded right away: it is specified in the email that the massage center is not a part of the hotel. The “computer room” and “rentable office” together can be considered a “business center” – a facility where hotel guests can work on a computer, print documents, send and receive faxes, organize meetings, etc. Therefore, answer choice (A) is correct. Conversely, a “gym” and a “pool” together can hardly be considered a “stadium,” nor can free movie rentals in the room count as a “cinema,” so choices (B) and (D) are wrong. 169. Answer (D) The third paragraph of the email lists services that are included in the booked package. Eggs and bacon are not a part of a “continental” breakfast. Tea is never mentioned as a part of the provided products/services. The Internet is mentioned as delivered via wi-fi only, with “cable” referring to cable TV and movies. The only possible answer is (D): “a gift certificate to Massage Envy” means that the guest can take advantage of a free massage (or offer it to a person of his/her choice). 170. Answer (C) According to the last paragraph of the email, the suite is booked from January 3rd to January 10th. This makes it 7 nights in total.

171. Answer (A) The phrase to insert describes the hotel chain in general. Each of the four positions corresponds to the final phrase of a paragraph. The only paragraph that talks about the chain in general is the first one: position [1] is, therefore, the correct answer choice. The second paragraph talks about the hotel specifically, the third about the package booked, and the fourth about the arrival and departure dates and times. 172. Answer (C) Dante Glass introduces the topic of the chat session: diminished sales, as well as the reasons and solutions for that. “Be aware of” is a synonym of “know,” but in this particular case it obviously refers to the fact that the past month’s sales were very low: answer choice (C) is correct. 173. Answer (B) In her 15:02 message, Blanche Firth explains the situation: there have been too many new salespeople, and they have received (and continue receiving) inadequate training – for this reason, they are not very effective at selling. Answer choice (B) explains exactly that. The number of salespeople is clearly sufficient, as no one talks about hiring more, so choice (A) cannot be correct. Training sessions, exactly, have never been organized, so choices (C) and (D) are wrong. 174. Answer (C) In the 15:09 message, Esmae Castaneda suggests organizing a specialized training session for the new salespeople, hosted by a “veteran” salesperson, i.e. a very experienced employee. Answer choice (C) summarizes this idea correctly and is the right answer. Answer choices (A) and (B) distort the information from the message, and choice (D) is too vague to be correct. 175. Answer (D) In his two messages that conclude the session (15:12 and 15:15), Dante Glass seems to welcome the idea proposed by the other three participants. However, in his 15:12 message he says, “I’ll talk to John about this and see what we can do.” In other words, he cannot authorize the implementation of the idea – it’s John who can. This makes answer choice (D) correct. 176. Answer (D) Addressing to Mr. McGee, Professor Cohen writes his letter in order to “congratulate you on your second consecutive term in office and to request your clearance.” In other words, Mr. McGee is an elected official who can authorize certain changes to be made in a park. The letter later mentions the “city.” All this would make one believe that Mr. McGee is the city’s mayor or similar official. Only choice (D) suggests that. 177. Answer (A) The activities of Professor Cohen’s classes are described in the second paragraph of the letter. Choice (A) is correct: basic “cataloging” [of the species] is specifically mentioned. All of the other answer choices distort the information from the paragraph. 178. Answer (B)

Professor writes, “my students have noticed a spike in the number of goldfinches present, which they have determined to be caused by the purple coneflowers now growing around the park.” In other words, the population’s growth is due to the presence of the purple coneflowers in the park. Answer choice (B) summarizes this idea correctly. 179. Answer (A) The very specific purpose of Professor Cohen’s letter is to obtain the authorization to plant honeysuckle in the park, as this will attract hummingbirds. According to the diagram, the population of the hummingbirds in the park has been decreasing constantly over the past years, and it is, therefore, safe to assume that this is the reason behind Professor’s request. Answer choice (A) is correct. Choice (C) inverts cause and effect: it’s the presence of the honeysuckle that is beneficial to the hummingbirds. Choices (B) and (D) find no echo in the letter. 180. Answer (C) In the chart, the line corresponding to Brown Thrasher shows no specific trend: its population grows and declines. The remaining three species show stable trends: growth for Goldfinch, decline for Hummingbird, and plateau for California Scrub Jay. 181. Answer (D) In his email, Axel Kohl writes, “I have a few questions and concerns regarding warranties on our items, gem replacement, and return policies.” In other words, he needs input/advice from Mr. Spaulding regarding two situations he’d encountered while working alone in the store. While he is indeed reporting two situations, this is not the main purpose of his email. He does mention, “I often find myself working alone,” but doesn’t push this fact as far as to complain. 182. Answer (C) The first customer is discussed in the second paragraph of Mr. Kohl’s email and in the second paragraph of Mr. Spaulding’s email. According to Mr. Spaulding, the situation this customer finds herself in is “usually the case when people don’t get into the habit of removing rings before doing dishes, moving items, playing with children, or other activities.” It can therefore be assumed that the woman indeed doesn’t remove her rings during the housework, and therefore answer choice (C) is correct. Choices (A) and (B) contradict what Mr. Kohl writes, and choice (D) cannot be inferred from the texts, as Mr. Spaulding simply advises Mr. Kohl to suggest that the woman store her rings in a safe place. 183. Answer (C) Mr. Spaulding starts by saying that he doesn’t mind answering emails while on the vacation: choices (A) and (B) can be excluded. He does provide advice to Mr. Kohl, in rather objective terms and to the point, without being overly technical, however. “Professional” is, therefore, the best option. 184. Answer (A) In the third paragraph of his email, dedicated to the situation with the second customer, Mr. Spaulding writes unambiguously, “I can assure you that we cannot process a return like that.” Answer choice (A), however categorical, is therefore correct. Choices (B) and (C) distort the

information from the same paragraph. Choice (D), while appearing as quite a logical solution to the problem, is never suggested by Mr. Spaulding. 185. Answer (A) Mr. Spaulding summarizes the store’s return policy in the sentence, “Any item returned has to be from our store, purchased within the past three months, and in reasonably good condition.” The earrings from choice (A) correspond to both conditions. The other items are either too damaged (choice (C)) or were purchased too long ago (choices (B) and (D)). 186. Answer (A) The first sentence of the announcement reads, “Bright Sky Studio is a historic building, in which we have been keeping the tradition of performing a mix of original and classic plays.” The first part of the sentence contradicts answer choice (B), whereas the second part is accurately paraphrased in choice (A), which is correct. Choices (C) and (D) are both wrong because of their limitative nature, induced by the word “only.” 187. Answer (A) The word “finite” in this context means “of a concrete number,” or “predetermined.” Answer choice (A) in this sense is the best replacement: there are a limited number of roles, so obviously, not all auditioned actors will be given one. 188. Answer (B) According to the Audition Parameters list, the presentation should be a monolog (“Intended for the performance of a single character”) and “between 3 and 8 minutes” long. The only answer choice corresponding to both parameters is (B). 189. Answer (D) A person wishing to perform in a play should be present at an audition (late April, according to the schedule), the rehearsals (early May to mid-June, according to the advertisement), and the performances (mid-June to mid-July, according to the advertisement). Answer choice (D) encompasses this period. 190. Answer (C) The advertisement states, after mentioning both plays, “Rehearsals will be held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays April 29th through June 12th.” The schedule of auditions, however, lists the auditions separately for “Hamlet” and for “Square One.” This means that choice (C) is correct. 191. Answer (B) Regarding the vacuum cleaner, Mr. Vucetic writes, “It plugs in and runs fine, and I have no problems reading the instructions. The attachments can’t seem to fit.” This means that choices (A) and (C) are wrong, whereas choice (B) is right. Later he writes, “It is important I get the same one since I bought this one specifically for its size.” In other words, the size is exactly the one he had wanted, so choice (D) cannot be correct. 192. Answer (A)

In his email, Mr. Vucetic suspects “disconnections”; however, Ms. Mooney promptly qualifies the problem as “incompatibility,” which is due to differing brands. Answer choice (A) is therefore correct. 193. Answer (B) “Common” is a synonym of something that is encountered/seen often. Therefore, if a defect “isn’t common,” it means that it is quite rare. “Not unheard of” means that someone has already heard about it before, implying that it is known to the Helpline. Answer choice (B) paraphrases both ideas correctly and is, therefore, the right answer. 194. Answer (D) In the paragraph dedicated to the NewComer Office Assistant device, Ms. Mooney writes, “These only work with devices of the same brand.” Thus, answer choice (A) is incorrect: the device is compatible with only one brand. Answer choice (B) cannot be considered correct either: while Ms. Mooney is unable to help Mr. Vucetic, one cannot say that she is unwilling to do so, as she makes several suggestions regarding the enhanced use of the device, as well as provides a list of compatible devices that Mr. Vucetic might consider purchasing. Choice (C) concerns the vacuum cleaner, not the Office Assistant. Finally, choice (D) is correct: Ms. Mooney invites Mr. Vucetic to make additional uses of the device, such as “buy online with ease, set timers, reminders, and appointments, and as a way to take notes.” 195. Answer (C) In his email, Mr. Vucetic writes, “I was looking to spend 1,500€ maximum for my new office, and this has already taken up two-thirds of that budget,” implying that his remaining budget for the office equipment is 500€. Therefore, he cannot afford the NewComer Total laptop, which costs more than 500€. 196. Answer (B) The advertisement states, “For 20 years we have been bringing independent filmmakers to a popular screen” – in other words, All-Star Cinema has been supporting independent filmmakers for at least 20 years. Answer choice (B) is therefore correct. Choice (A) cannot be inferred as correct from the text: 20 years is the age of the Independent Drama Film Festival; All-Star Cinema might have existed well before that. Choice (C) distorts the information from the text: some of the independent filmmakers, not All-Star Cinema, had later produced blockbuster movies. Answer choice (D) can’t be considered correct either: the fact that a raffle is organized this year does not mean that they are organized “regularly.” 197. Answer (A) In his review, Mr. Skinderis writes, “We first went to the Independent Drama Film Festival 12 years ago at the premiere of Dancing Countries.” Ms. Puckett, in her email, writes, “We … hope you can have a blast at this year’s premieres of Sunned Waters, Tulip Fields, and Underlying.” This allows one to conclude that Mr. Skinderis has seen the first movie and has not yet seen the remaining three. 198. Answer (D)

Mr. Skinderis writes, “This year … the date falls on our 10th wedding anniversary!” In other words, his wedding took place 10 years ago: answer choice (D) states exactly that. Other answer choices, while probable, cannot be directly inferred from any of the three texts. 199. Answer (B) In her email, Ms. Puckett writes, “We were touched by your story.” It is, therefore, easy to imagine that she finds the review “touching.” 200. Answer (B) Bringing friends and thus using all the five tickets at once is a condition mentioned by Ms. Puckett in her email, so choice (B) is correct. Note that while Mr. Skinderis will probably indeed redeem the voucher, he is not obliged to do it, so choice (C) cannot be inferred as correct.
