A.I. Explanation:

Question Focus: Synonym match - summary says 'contact your', speaker explains you should contact the nearest police station

Correct Answer: police station

Passage Reference: If you take these precautions and still get robbed, please contact your nearest police station. You can, of course, come to the Darlinghurst police station, but this isn't necessary.

Why this is correct: The speaker clearly says you should contact your nearest police station, and then adds that Darlinghurst police station is also possible. The summary paraphrases this as 'contact your ... or Darlinghurst Police Station'.

Common Mistake: Students may write Darlinghurst police station, but this is optional, not the general advice. This is a context shift trap because the speaker mentions Darlinghurst only as an example.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'contact your nearest police station' = Summary: 'contact your [GAP_1]'

Tips: When you hear 'you can, of course', listen carefully. What comes before is usually the main answer.

Key Vocabulary:

• nearest = closest
• contact = get in touch

Question Focus: Synonym match - summary says 'nearest', speaker gives examples of location details

Correct Answer: cross street

Passage Reference: We'll also ask you for the exact location of the incident. Please take note of the nearest cross street or laneway.

Why this is correct: When explaining how to describe the location, the speaker says to note the nearest cross street. This matches the example given in the summary.

Common Mistake: Some students write street only, but that misses the key detail 'cross'. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'nearest cross street or laneway' = Summary: 'for example, nearest [GAP_2]'

Tips: Listen for examples like 'for instance' or 'such as'. They often fill gaps in summaries.

Key Vocabulary:

• cross street = intersecting road
• laneway = small street

Question Focus: Direct match - speaker gives another example of location identification

Correct Answer: nearest shop

Passage Reference: try to remember the name of the nearest shop.

Why this is correct: The speaker suggests another way to identify the location by remembering the name of the nearest shop. This directly matches the summary wording.

Common Mistake: Students may write store because it sounds similar, but that word is not used by the speaker. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'remember the name of the nearest shop' = Summary: 'or name of [GAP_3]'

Tips: For FIB questions, always copy the exact words you hear. Do not change them.

Key Vocabulary:

• remember = recall
• shop = store

Question Focus: Synonym match - summary shortens the speaker's explanation

Correct Answer: full description

Passage Reference: We will also need a full description of the bag or article that was snatched.

Why this is correct: The speaker says the police need a full description of the stolen bag or article. The summary shortens this to 'of item that was stolen'.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write description only, but the speaker clearly says full description. Missing 'full' is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'a full description of the bag' = Summary: '[GAP_4] of item that was stolen'

Tips: Pay attention to adjectives like 'full' or 'exact'. They are often required in the answer.

Key Vocabulary:

• description = details
• article = item

Question Focus: Cause and effect - action needed to prevent illegal use

Correct Answer: canceling them

Passage Reference: Obviously, you'll need to cancel your credit cards as a matter of urgency. The only protection you have against being made responsible for illegal use of your credit card is if you report the card stolen before the thieves can use it.

Why this is correct: To prevent illegal use, the speaker says you must cancel your credit cards urgently. The summary paraphrases this as canceling them.

Common Mistake: Some students write reporting them, but reporting alone is not the protection mentioned. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'cancel your credit cards' = Summary: 'Prevent illegal use ... by [GAP_5]'

Tips: After the word 'by', always listen for an -ing verb form.

Key Vocabulary:

• cancel = stop
• illegal use = misuse

General Tips:

• FIB answers follow the order of the recording. Once you find one answer, the next one comes soon after.
• Always check the word limit. More than three words is automatically wrong.
• Copy the exact words you hear. Do not replace them with your own synonyms.
• Listen carefully after signpost words like 'also' or 'obviously'. Important details often follow.
• Use grammar clues around the gap to predict the type of word you need before you hear it.
