Listening Details Inference

Respuesta correcta: A) At 6 a.m.

• A) At 6 a.m.Six in the morning matches the number she says and the morning context of a shift start.
• B) At 6 p.m.Six at night needs the p.m. marker, and she never mentions evening, so this hour conflicts.
• C) At 4 a.m.Four is a number the recording never uses, so this hour is invented rather than heard.
• D) At 9 a.m.Nine belongs to the evening round of shifts, and she announces only one starting time.

Respuesta correcta: C) She reaches the club late.

• A) She prefers late meetings.Choosing late meetings is a preference she never states; she only reports a clash between two fixed times.
• B) She leads the club.Leadership is never mentioned, so her role in the club cannot be inferred from the times she quoted.
• C) She reaches the club late.A meeting at six after a seven o'clock shift end means she always joins after the start, so this follows.
• D) She needs a ride.Transport is never discussed; the timing of her shift alone explains the conflict she reports.

Respuesta correcta: B) Two hours.

• A) Half an hour.Half an hour would end at 5:30, and no such second time appears anywhere in what he says.
• B) Two hours.Seven minus five gives exactly two hours, and both times are stated, so the duration is certain.
• C) Five hours.Five is the hour the count starts, not its length, and confusing a start with a duration is a common slip.
• D) Twelve hours.Twelve hours would run past the evening, but the count is complete at seven, so this is far too long.

Respuesta correcta: D) His trip takes longer.

• A) His route is shorter.Driving around the hill adds distance rather than removing it, so a shorter route is the opposite of the truth.
• B) His bus is emptier.Passenger numbers are never mentioned; the only changes he names are the closure and the new path.
• C) His fare has risen.Nothing is said about what he charges, so a fare increase is a guess added to the announcement.
• D) His trip takes longer.A detour always adds kilometres and minutes, so the direct effect of his two facts is a longer trip.

Respuesta correcta: A) Buses leave twice a day.

• A) Buses leave twice a day.Two named departure times mean two runs a day, and the word only confirms that nothing else operates.
• B) Buses run all morning.The word only rules out continuous service, so a shuttle running all morning contradicts what she announces.
• C) Buses cost extra at noon.No price or fee appears in her description, so a noon charge is invented rather than heard.
• D) Buses stop before the fair.She describes a limited service with two runs, not a cancelled one, so nothing about stopping is implied.

Respuesta correcta: B) Four.

• A) Three.Three never appears in the announcement, so the only figures on offer are four and the rejected five.
• B) Four.He states four and explicitly rejects five, so four is the sailing time a traveller should trust.
• C) Five.Five is the hour he refuses with the word not, so picking it repeats the error he corrected.
• D) Six.Six is not mentioned at all in what he says, so it cannot be the departure time he announced.

Respuesta correcta: D) Noise continues after ten.

• A) The music is too quiet.She never says the music is quiet; her complaint is about how long the disturbance lasts, not about volume.
• B) The bar closes early.She describes noise carrying on, not a bar shutting down, so an early closing is not what she reports.
• C) The street is too narrow.The width of the street never comes up; her details are the music, the cars and the hour of ten.
• D) Noise continues after ten.Music stopping at ten while cars keep arriving means the noise lasts past that hour, which is the real problem.

Respuesta correcta: A) The truck enters before four.

• A) The truck enters before four.The ban applies after four, so any truck that still enters must do it before that hour, exactly as this states.
• B) The truck enters at any hour.Entering at any hour ignores the closing time she reads aloud, so it breaks the rule she announced.
• C) The truck pays a late fee.No payment or fee appears in the notice, so a late charge is an invented consequence of her words.
• D) The truck uses gate two.She names a single gate; a second gate used as a workaround is not part of what she read.

Respuesta correcta: C) He doubts it is the best choice.

• A) He fully supports working alone.Full support needs firmer praise, yet his hedged phrase raises the idea only to question it.
• B) He has no opinion at all.Raising a habit without praise is not neutrality; the hedge and his topic point to a reservation.
• C) He doubts it is the best choice.A careful academic hedge such as some usually signals doubt, so he is questioning solo work, not backing it.
• D) He forbids solo work.He issues no rule at all in what he says, so turning his doubt into a ban misreads his tone.

Respuesta correcta: B) It offers a service at no cost.

• A) It repeats the clinic rules.Nothing is restated or corrected here; she announces a new offer rather than repeating existing clinic rules.
• B) It offers a service at no cost.The word free names zero payment and Friday gives the day, so the campaign offers a service that costs nothing.
• C) It closes the clinic early.The clinic does not shut; she adds an extra session, so closing early runs against the message.
• D) It trains new volunteers.Volunteers are never mentioned; the free Friday session is a service for patients, not a staff course.

Respuesta correcta: C) Change noon to six.

• A) Change noon to nine.Nine is never mentioned as a closing hour, so this would replace one wrong word with another wrong word.
• B) Change nine to noon.Nine does not appear in the audio at all, so the note cannot be repaired by inserting that hour.
• C) Change noon to six.Six is the hour the guide actually says, so deleting the time loses real detail instead of repairing it.
• D) Delete the closing time.Removing the line throws away correct information when only one word inside it is inaccurate.

Respuesta correcta: A) Dig the rows, add compost, then sow.

• A) Dig the rows, add compost, then sow.She prepares the ground, feeds it and sows last, and that is exactly the fixed sequence she described.
• B) Add compost, dig the rows, then sow.The ground has to be dug before compost goes in, so putting compost first breaks the order she gave.
• C) Dig the rows, sow, then add compost.Compost is added before sowing, not after it, so this list reverses the middle two steps.
• D) Sow the seed, dig the rows, then compost.Nothing can be sown before the rows are dug and fed, so this arrangement starts with the last real step.

Respuesta correcta: D) He felt bored.

• A) The pay was too low.He rules the pay explanation out with the word not, so choosing money reverses the reason he kept.
• B) The hours were too long.Working hours are never mentioned; the contrast he draws is between boredom and low pay.
• C) His boss was unfair.His supervisor is not part of the interview, so an unfair boss is a detail the recording never supplies.
• D) He felt bored.He names boredom as his reason and rejects money, so this option matches the cause he actually stressed.

Respuesta correcta: B) Three customers came in, one while it rained.

• A) She waited for three rainy customers.This makes the customers wait and ties all three to the rain, two details she never mentions in the interview.
• B) Three customers came in, one while it rained.It keeps the three customers and the rainy hour exactly as heard, without adding a cause, a feeling or a total.
• C) She served nobody during the rain.One rainy customer is the opposite of nobody in the rain, so this summary contradicts the recording.
• D) Her shop was busy all morning.Three customers and one slow hour do not make a busy morning, so this overstates what the recording shows.

Respuesta correcta: C) The host is selling umbrellas today.

• A) This broadcast is a friendly chat.A casual chat carries no risk information, so a flood alert would hardly be described as friendly small talk.
• B) The rain will last about one hour.A one-hour forecast gives a duration, but the host is warning about danger, not only about timing.
• C) The host is selling umbrellas today.A warning tells people what to do, and naming the flooded bus route gives both the risk and the action.
• D) School is cancelled for the day.A school closure is a specific announcement he never makes, so this is a guess added to the audio.

Respuesta correcta: D) Question six cannot be replayed.

• A) Every question can be replayed.One replay is the limit she states and the exception narrows it, so no question can be replayed twice.
• B) Two replays are allowed.She announces a single replay, not two, so counting her words gives a smaller number than this option.
• C) Replays are banned entirely.Replays are allowed once in general, so a complete ban reads her rule as far stricter than she stated.
• D) Question six cannot be replayed.She sets two separate rules, one general replay and one exception, and the exception removes the replay there.

Respuesta correcta: B) Training was moved to four in the afternoon.

• A) Training moves from four in the morning.The note gives no starting time and says morning nowhere, so an early shift is invented detail.
• B) Training was moved to four in the afternoon.A single afternoon at four o'clock matches a passive report of a change, the normal way to note a new time.
• C) Training will move to four tomorrow.Nothing in the note mentions tomorrow, so turning a finished change into a future event misreads it.
• D) Training was moved from four in the afternoon.The note records the new time rather than the old one, so reporting it as a time left behind reverses the change.

Respuesta correcta: C) No alcohol on the beach.

• A) No glass bottles on the sand.Glass bottles are named explicitly as banned, so this detail is present in the announcement.
• B) No cooking fires on the sand.Cooking fires are one of the warnings he gives, so the rule about fires on the sand does appear.
• C) No alcohol on the beach.His list covers glass, fires and dogs, but alcohol never appears, so this is the item he left out.
• D) No dogs in the water.Dogs in the water are among the items he names, so this rule is part of the recorded warning.

Respuesta correcta: A) Earlier work hours for shorter waits.

• A) Earlier work hours for shorter waits.She links an earlier start for crews to a shorter wait for cargo, so the gain is paid for with earlier hours.
• B) Longer shifts for lower wages.Wages never appear in what she says, so the trade she describes concerns time, not pay.
• C) Fewer ships for faster service.She does not reduce the number of ships; her only facts are about arrival times and waiting.
• D) Later hours for faster loading.The rule moves crews earlier, not later, so this option reverses the direction of the change.

Respuesta correcta: D) To keep and learn the new words.

• A) To check how much time is left.The timing of the episode is never mentioned, and pausing is a step she chooses, not a clock check.
• B) To call a family member at home.No call or relative appears in what she says, so the pause serves her own study, not a conversation.
• C) To rewind the whole episode.She copies single words instead of starting the episode again, so her purpose is narrower than rewinding.
• D) To keep and learn the new words.Pausing is a deliberate step and she links it to copying words, so the aim is to keep and learn vocabulary.
