Narrator: Listen to an announcement on the campus radio station.
Woman: This is Campus Radio with a quick update. Because of the heavy rain expected this afternoon, the outdoor food festival on the main lawn has been moved indoors to the Student Center ballroom. It will still run from noon to four, and all the same food vendors will be there. The live music, however, has been canceled, since there isn't enough room for the stage. Stay dry out there!
What part of the festival will not take place?
AA. The live music
BB. The food stands
CC. The afternoon session
DD. The ballroom events
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: A. The live music
Explicación
"The live music, however, has been canceled, since there isn't enough room for the stage."
All the same vendors will attend, the times are unchanged, and the ballroom is the new location.

Narrator: Listen to an announcement at a student club meeting.
Woman: Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming. As you know, the environmental club's beach cleanup is this Saturday. We've had a great response: more than sixty sign-ups, which is twice as many as last year. That's wonderful, but it means we don't have enough gloves and bags. If you have your own gardening gloves, please bring them. We'll also need two or three people with cars to carry the bags of trash to the recycling center afterward. If that's you, come talk to me after the meeting.
What is suggested about last year's cleanup?
AA. It was held at a different beach
BB. It did not have enough drivers
CC. About thirty people signed up for it
DD. It was canceled because of bad weather
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: C. About thirty people signed up for it
Explicación
This year's sixty sign-ups are "twice as many as last year," so last year there were about thirty.
The location, the drivers, and the weather last year are not mentioned.

Narrator: Listen to an announcement a professor makes at the end of class.
Man: One more thing before you leave. A few of you have asked whether lab reports can be revised after they've been graded. Starting with report three, you may resubmit any report once, within a week of getting it back. The revised version replaces the original grade entirely, so your grade can go down as well as up. That's deliberate. I want you to treat a revision as a genuine second attempt, not a quick fix. And please note that reports one and two aren't covered, since we've already gone over the feedback on those together in class.
Why does the professor point out that a grade can go down?
AA. To warn that most revised reports end up with lower grades
BB. To discourage resubmissions that make only superficial changes
CC. To explain why reports one and two cannot be revised
DD. To suggest that revising a report is rarely worth the risk of a lower grade
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: B. To discourage resubmissions that make only superficial changes
Explicación
Right after saying the grade can go down, he adds "That's deliberate. I want you to treat a revision as a genuine second attempt, not a quick fix." The risk is meant to stop students from resubmitting with only small, careless edits.
(A) He never says how often grades fall. (C) Reports one and two are excluded for a different reason: their feedback was already discussed in class. (D) He wants serious revisions, not fewer revisions; the policy is an offer, not a warning against using it.
