PROBLEM: F: Have you decided where to take Mr. Brown to dinner tonight? ,M: Well, I tried to get us into a private room at Ana's garden. Because the main dining room is too noisy. But the rooms were all reserved. I made a reservation at movie, though, for 7:30. I haven't tried it, but I heard it was good. ,F: I've been there, the food is excellent. It's right next to that Japanese place, Tami, where we had John's birthday party last month.
(A) M: I've tried the Japanese restaurant near Movie. (B) M: I know Movie is near a Japanese restaurant. But Movie doesn's support reservation. (C) M: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (D) M: Movie closes quite early. Before 7 o'clock as I remember.

PROBLEM: M: Hey Lindaï¼ did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year? ,F: Not yet, are there a lot of changes? ,M: There sure are, instead of paying one feet to cover all meals for the whole school year. We are now able to choose how many meals a week we want, and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy 7, 10, 14 or 21 meals per week. They give you a card with a number of meals you get each week marked on it. ,F: That's a big change Tom, and a complicated system. ,M: Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don't eat 3 meals a day 7 days a week in the cafeteria, because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat. ,F: So, what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time? ,M: It better for them, too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is. ,F: I see, it still sounds rather complicated. ,M: True, it took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the 10 meal plan.
(A) F: I didn’t hear you. Please could you tell me again? (B) F: You are right. A ten-meal plan is a cheap one in our company. (C) F: You have made a good decision. A ten-meal plan is suitable. (D) F: That is true. A fourteen-meal plan is a perfect choice in our company.
