To: Morgan
From: Casey
Date: June 27
Subject: Flour delivery on parade morning

Hi Morgan,

Our flour supplier plans to arrive at 7:30 a.m. on Canada Day, so I checked the city's parade guide. The Early Delivery period ends at 1.

8:30 a.m.8:15 a.m.4:00 p.m.12:30 p.m.

, which gives the driver time if the truck is on schedule.

During that period, the truck should come in from 2.

Church StreetRiver AlleyMarket LaneMain Street

. I will open the back door by seven so we can start right away. Please also warn the driver that Main Street closes at 3.

8:15 a.m.7:00 a.m.8:30 a.m.1:00 p.m.

, in case traffic slows the truck down.

If the truck is late, River Alley stays open during the parade, but only for 4.

. I would rather not rely on that route. It would also give us just 5.

to unload twenty bags of flour.

Could you call the supplier today and ask the driver to phone us if the truck is running late? Then we can decide together what to do.

Thanks,
Casey

A.I. Explanation:

Correct Answer: 8:15 a.m.
Why this is correct: The Early Delivery row shows a window from 7:00 to 8:15 a.m. So the period ends at 8:15.
Tips: Some rows show a start and an end time. Read both, then pick the one the sentence needs.
Why the other options are wrong:
8:30 a.m.: 8:30 a.m. is when Main Street closes and the Parade Period starts.
12:30 p.m.: 12:30 p.m. is when the Parade Period ends, not the early period.
4:00 p.m.: 4:00 p.m. is the end of the After Parade period in the afternoon.
Correct Answer: Market Lane
Why this is correct: In the Early Delivery row, trucks enter from Market Lane.
Tips: Stay in the row that matches the time the writer is talking about.
Why the other options are wrong:
River Alley: River Alley is the entrance during the Parade Period, not the early period.
Main Street: Main Street is not a delivery entrance in any row. It closes at 8:30 a.m.
Church Street: Church Street is where the parade floats gather. It is not a delivery entrance.
Correct Answer: 8:30 a.m.
Why this is correct: The note at the bottom says Main Street closes at 8:30 a.m.
Tips: Two times can be close together. Check which place each time belongs to.
Why the other options are wrong:
8:15 a.m.: 8:15 a.m. is when the Early Delivery period ends. Main Street closes a little later.
7:00 a.m.: 7:00 a.m. is when floats gather on Church Street and early delivery starts.
1:00 p.m.: Main Street stays closed to normal traffic until 1:00 p.m. That is not when it closes.
Correct Answer: permit holders
Why this is correct: The Parade Period row uses River Alley. It says permit holders only.
Tips: Words like but only warn you that a rule limits who can come.
Why the other options are wrong:
all vehicles: All vehicles can come only in the early and afternoon periods, through Market Lane.
emergency vehicles: Emergency vehicles are allowed on Main Street, not in River Alley.
parade floats: The floats gather on Church Street. They do not use River Alley.
Correct Answer: 10 minutes
Why this is correct: The Parade Period row says trucks can unload for up to 10 minutes.
Tips: Match the time limit to the period the writer means.
Why the other options are wrong:
30 minutes: 30 minutes is the time allowed in the Early Delivery period.
one hour: One hour is allowed only in the After Parade period.
5 minutes: 5 minutes is the longest a truck may wait at a barrier. It is not unloading time.
Correct Answer: share the delivery plan and ask Morgan to call the supplier
Why this is correct: Casey explains the early plan. Then Casey asks Morgan to call the supplier today.
Tips: Look for the request near the end. It often shows the main purpose.
Why the other options are wrong:
ask Morgan to get a parade permit from City Hall: Casey never asks for a permit. Casey would rather not use River Alley at all.
cancel the flour delivery for Canada Day: Casey still wants the flour on parade morning. Nothing is cancelled.
complain to the city about the street closures: Casey writes to Morgan and does not complain about the closures.
Correct Answer: through Market Lane after 1:00 p.m.
Why this is correct: The After Parade row opens Market Lane from 1:00 p.m. to all vehicles, with no permit needed.
Tips: Check every row and the note at the bottom before you choose.
Why the other options are wrong:
through River Alley at 10:00 a.m.: At 10:00 a.m. River Alley is for permit holders only.
along Main Street at 9:00 a.m.: At 9:00 a.m. Main Street is open to emergency vehicles only.
along Church Street at 8:00 a.m.: Church Street is where floats gather from 7:00 a.m. It is not an entrance.
Correct Answer: Careful and ready to change the plan if needed
Why this is correct: Casey checked the guide and made a plan. Casey also wants a call if the truck is late.
Tips: Think about how the writer acts, not only what the writer says.
Why the other options are wrong:
Relaxed about following the parade rules: Casey reads the guide closely and follows each rule.
Annoyed with the flour supplier: Casey says nothing bad about the supplier. Casey only asks for a phone call.
Unsure which entrance the truck should use: Casey names the entrance clearly and knows when the truck must use it.
