PROBLEM: M: Let's discuss your education background. You were an English major, weren't you? ,F: Yes, that's right. But I liked French best. ,M: Fine, and could you tell me what kind of work experience you've had? ,F: My last position was with Lumison Marten. That was from two thousand and five to two thousand and nine. That's a law firm in Sacramento. Before that I worked for a bishop in Baldwin. That was from two thousand and three to two thousand and five. ,M: Could you tell me what kind of salary you are expecting? ,F: Well, in my last job, I was making $1,500 a month. I understand that this position has a starting salary of around $1,600 a month. ,M: That's right. ,F: That would be fine with me. What I care about most is if the company provides opportunities for further education.
(A) M: So you don't care about the salary at all because in your last job you earned $150 a month. (B) M: You mean the further education is your greatest concern. (C) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (D) M: So your greatest concern is paid leaves because you don't like French at all.

SOLUTION: B

PROBLEM: M: Diana, can you give me a hand? I'm supposed to place all these new products in the display case, but they'll never fit. ,F: Yeah, I see what you mean. But did Miss Harper mean to put them all on display, or just one of each as a sample for the customers to see? ,M: Oh, I get it! So maybe I should just select a single example of each model instead of one of each color for each model. ,F: Check with Miss Harper first. But in my opinion, that's the only way you'll be able to do it.
(A) M: I manage to put them all in the case, but I can't find Ms.Harper to check. (B) M: It's all because of the limited space. Daisy, throw away these products. (C) M: Well, it's all because there isn't enough room for all the new products. (D) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly?

SOLUTION: C
