Correct Answer: explain why he wants a different format
Passage Reference: few participants described their own experiences
Why this is correct: Colin writes to explain why he wants a different format. The first workshop felt like a class, so few people shared their experiences. The rest of his message sets out a new, more conversational plan.
Tips: Find the problem the attendees reported. Then ask what the rest of Colin's message does about it.
Why the other options are wrong:
- argue that the workshop should be cancelled: He proposes a revised next session.
- criticize Leanne’s way of leading: He praises Leanne’s ability to include quiet people.
- show that the résumé examples were inaccurate: Attendees found the examples useful.
Correct Answer: the useful content requested by attendees
Passage Reference: I am not proposing that we remove the short section on online applications.
Why this is correct: He changes the sequence and format while retaining valued material.
Tips: Look for what changes and what stays.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the rule that only one résumé is acceptable: He wants Leanne to say there is no single perfect version.
- a fixed ending regardless of participation: He clearly proposes flexibility.
- the lecture style used in the first session: He wants more table discussion.
Correct Answer: she can help hesitant participants join in
Passage Reference: You have a good way of drawing quieter people into a discussion
Why this is correct: Her strength directly addresses the limited participation.
Tips: Match the person’s strength with the problem it is meant to solve.
Why the other options are wrong:
- she can decide whether to remove the online section: Colin wants to keep that requested section. Leanne's special strength is about participation.
- she can demonstrate every résumé at the front: Colin wants the examples placed on tables rather than presented together at the front.
- she can explain the library's goals before discussion: Colin asks Leanne about the library's expectations later, but he chooses her opening role because she draws quiet people into discussion.
Correct Answer: a planned response to how the groups react
Passage Reference: If the groups are engaged, we can continue; if not, we can demonstrate the application form as planned.
Why this is correct: He defines two purposeful responses rather than leaving the ending random.
Tips: A conditional plan can still be carefully organized.
Why the other options are wrong:
- proof that the workshop needs no outline: He asks whether the revised plan meets expectations.
- a requirement imposed by attendees: Attendees asked for online content, not a flexible schedule.
- a way to avoid online applications completely: The demonstration remains one possible ending.
Correct Answer: responsiveness with a sense of preparation
Passage Reference: I want to respond to the feedback without making the session feel unplanned.
Why this is correct: Every change Colin suggests answers the feedback. His final sentence names the two goals behind the whole message: responding to people and keeping the session well planned.
Tips: Find the sentence where Colin names two aims he holds at the same time. Both halves must match the option.
Why the other options are wrong:
- participant choice with fewer practical examples: He keeps all three useful examples, so practical content is not reduced.
- library approval with a fixed ending: He seeks library approval, but proposes two possible endings based on participation.
- more discussion with an unchanged lecture order: Colin wants more discussion and also changes the order by moving online applications later.
Correct Answer: encouraged by part of it but willing to revise it
Passage Reference: I was pleased that they found the résumé examples useful, but several people said the evening felt more like a class than a conversation.
Why this is correct: He values what worked and acts on the criticism.
Tips: Use both sides of the contrast introduced by but.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ashamed of the entire event: He expresses pleasure about the examples.
- uncertain whether participants wanted practical help: Their requests and praise show they did.
- satisfied and opposed to any change: Most of the email proposes changes.
Correct Answer: fits what the library is trying to achieve
Passage Reference: The library wants practical help, but it also wants residents to learn from one another.
Why this is correct: Leanne confirms that conversation and practical help both match the library’s aims.
Tips: Use Leanne’s next sentence to understand her judgment.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ignores the comments completely: The new format responds directly to them.
- turns the event into an unplanned meeting: It has a clear sequence and backup ending.
- removes the practical focus: Résumé examples and online applications remain.
Correct Answer: make it easier for quieter people to contribute
Passage Reference: few participants described their own experiences
Why this is correct: Small groups respond to the earlier participation problem.
Tips: Connect the new format with the weakness identified earlier.
Why the other options are wrong:
- prevent Colin from answering questions: He will circulate to answer them.
- ensure every group reaches the same answer: The introduction says there is no single perfect résumé.
- return the workshop to a lecture: Table work is meant to create conversation.
Correct Answer: remain in the session but follow the discussion
Passage Reference: I only think we should move it until after the table discussion
Why this is correct: Colin changes its position, not its inclusion.
Tips: Watch for move versus remove.
Why the other options are wrong:
- be removed despite the requests: He clearly says he does not want to remove it.
- replace all three résumé examples: The examples stay on the tables.
- open the evening before the table work: He places it after discussion.
Correct Answer: different approaches can still be effective
Passage Reference: there is no single perfect résumé
Why this is correct: Leanne will express the same idea in positive terms.
Tips: Paraphrase the meaning rather than copying the original wording.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the online form is no longer relevant: The online section is retained.
- participants should avoid sharing experiences: The revision encourages sharing.
- Colin has selected the only correct résumé: The source rejects one perfect version.
Correct Answer: you have prepared useful choices for either response
Passage Reference: If the groups are engaged, we can continue; if not, we can demonstrate the application form as planned.
Why this is correct: The two prepared paths make flexibility deliberate.
Tips: A backup plan is evidence of preparation.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the participants will certainly keep talking: The plan allows for the opposite.
- I can cancel the workshop without notice: Cancellation is not one of the choices.
- the librarian has refused to approve a schedule: No refusal has occurred.
