Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Hi, David! Mr. Harper has just asked me if you'd finished your project yet. It was supposed to be handed in yesterday. M: I know. I'm just finishing it now. W: He wanted to know if we'd done them together. I said no. What's yours on? It took me ages to do mine. M: Well, I was really lucky. I found this book all about the population in New Zealand cities. W: Is it good? M: Yes, it's a great book! I photocopied three chapters. There are some brilliant charts and... W: What are you going to do with all that? M: Well, now I'm going to copy these pages and these charts and then I'll finish my project! W: You're not supposed to just copy the book. M: Oh! I think Mr. Harper won't know. W: He will know! He asked us to write a list of all the books we'd used. Remember? That's not the point anyway. M: What is the point then? W: Well, the point is that you're supposed to write your own project--you can't copy someone else's writing. M: Er... er... Well, you're right. Thank you for your reminding me of that. Question: Why does the woman blame the man? - He didn't hand in his project on schedule. - His project was not what he was supposed to write. - He was not supposed to finish his project by copying.
A: He was not supposed to finish his project by copying.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan? W: I can't wait to see Canada, Jason, but I'm scared stiff of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. M: There's nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? W: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year? W: Yes, but aero-planes fly so high and fast that once is enough. M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. W: I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax. I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II. M: It's fine if you're a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? W: No. I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I'd rather be sea - sick than dead. Question: What transportation can you infer the man prefers? - Trains. - Planes. - Ships.
A: Planes.

M: Forty-five dollars each or eighty dollars for the pair. W: OK. I'll take the red one. Question: Which hat does the woman like? - The blue one. - The red one. - The yellow one.
A: The red one.
