(Q).
Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Mary, you know I've been thinking about applying for a job in Germany. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for. F: Where are the jobs? M: One's in Munich, one's in Frankfurt and the other one's in Hamburg. F: Munich's supposed to be a very nice place. M: Yes it is, and it's also in a beautiful part of Germany, not far from the Alias. F: That would be great for the kids--they'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends! M: But, one problem with Munich is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living will probably be very high. F: It's a higher salary than the job in Frankfurt but lower than the one in Hamburg. The Hamburg job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me. F: Hamburg's the closest to Britain, too, so it would be easy to come back for long weekends and holidays. M: That's right, and there's a regular ferry service which would save quite a bit on fares. F: What about the cost of living in Germany as a whole? How does it compare with Britain? M: Well, it's definitely higher than over here, but salaries are substantially higher, so we'd certainly be better off than we are now. F: And what about accommodation? M: Well, actually, flats are much cheaper to rent in towns like Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg than they are here in London, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious flat, I'd think. F: Mmm, that'd be nice! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities? M: In fact, they're quite good in all three. But, of course, Munich has an international reputation as a cultural center. F: Another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go to Germany for? M: I think a maximum of five years. I think working overseas will be good for my career and, of course, it'd be a good experience for you and the kids, too! F: So we'd be there... Question: How does the salary of the Munich job compare with those of the other two jobs? - It is the highest. - It is the lowest. - It comes in between the other two jobs.
(A).
It comes in between the other two jobs.

W: At the end of the course you can take the books you like and I will take the ones I like. M: What if we both like the same books? W: Come on,we are not going to argue over that,are we?

Question: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you? W: Pardon? M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes. W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through it, though, but I keep drifting away. M: So it doesn't really hold your interest? W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at a university. M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love. W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less. M: It's not just the book, it's the curse as well? W: Yeah, in a way, although the curse itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturer is fine, as to me, I suppose, you see, I want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it. M: So the courses are OK as such, it's just that had if been left to you, you would choose a different one. W: Oh, they had my best interest and heart of course, my parents, they always do, don't they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus, they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting. Question: Why can't Karen concentrate on the book? - She lacks interest in it. - The man keeps interrupting her. - She finds it too hard.
Answer:
She lacks interest in it.
