Correct Answer: that losing the stage means the event no longer works
Passage Reference: You suggested cancelling because there is no raised stage
Why this is correct: Mei's message mainly argues against Rosa's idea that losing the raised stage means the demonstration can no longer work. She explains why the smaller café space may suit the original promise, and she wants them to decide after seeing it.
Tips: For a message-level question, ask what the whole email is arguing against. Mei's goal is to keep the event, not to question the floor or the poster.
Why the other options are wrong:
- that beginners may ask questions during a demonstration: Mei sees beginner questions as fitting the cafe setting, not as the assumption she disputes.
- that the tiled floor needs a safety check: She takes the floor risk seriously, but that is not the assumption she is questioning.
- that the poster describes a simple sequence: She relies on what the poster promises. She is not challenging what it says.
Correct Answer: it supports showing beginners how learning happens
Passage Reference: invites beginners to see how a simple sequence is learned
Why this is correct: The cafe suits the original promise because beginners can see how a simple sequence is learned step by step among the tables.
Tips: Match space to the poster: learning a sequence, not a polished stage show.
Why the other options are wrong:
- it provides more room for polished turns: Mei removes the final spin. Polished turns are not the advantage of the café.
- it separates dancers from all questions: She wants questions without stopping a formal show.
- it guarantees a formal seated audience: Rows of chairs belong to the hall and stage picture she is leaving.
Correct Answer: turning on the slippery tiled floor
Passage Reference: slippery for turns
Why this is correct: Mei treats turning on the slippery tile as a real risk and would drop the final spin rather than ignore it.
Tips: The serious risk is turning on slippery tile, not talking among tables.
Why the other options are wrong:
- showing the sequence one step at a time: Step-by-step teaching is a benefit of the cafe, not the hazard.
- speaking among the café tables: Standing among tables is part of her preferred format.
- visiting the venue before deciding: A joint visit is her decision method, not the dance risk.
Correct Answer: the manager must confirm the mat will not obstruct café service
Passage Reference: provided the manager confirms it will not block the service path
Why this is correct: The portable mat can be used only if the manager confirms it will not block the service path.
Tips: Manager confirmation about the service path is the precondition.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Rosa must confirm that beginners will remain on the mat: Manager approval about the path matters, not a Rosa rule about beginners staying on the mat.
- the manager must confirm that turns are safe on the uncovered tile: Mei removes the spin instead of asking for a turn-safety ruling on bare tile.
- the centre must confirm that the café offers enough audience seating: Rows of seats are not her condition. A clear service path is.
Correct Answer: usefulness to beginners can matter more than polished display
Passage Reference: less impressive as a performance, but perhaps more useful as an introduction
Why this is correct: The main point of Mei's message is that the event can still work in the café. It will be less impressive as a performance, but perhaps more useful as an introduction for beginners. So she wants to adapt the event rather than cancel it.
Tips: For a main point question, look for the idea the whole message argues for. Mei puts usefulness to beginners above a polished show, but never above safety.
Why the other options are wrong:
- audience participation matters only when a stage is unavailable: She values participation because of the beginner promise, not only as a fallback.
- a less impressive display is successful if every planned move remains: She is willing to cut the spin for safety.
- the café is better because informal events have fewer safety limits: She insists on safety and will postpone without a safe mat plan.
Correct Answer: if they cannot create a safe demonstration area
Passage Reference: If the manager cannot approve the mat, I agree we should postpone.
Why this is correct: Mei would postpone if they cannot create a safe demonstration area, for example if the mat is not approved.
Tips: Postpone when safety cannot be arranged, not merely when chairs are missing.
Why the other options are wrong:
- if the café has no rows of chairs: Missing theatre seating is not her postpone trigger.
- if the audience asks questions during the sequence: Questions are welcome in her plan.
- if the poster has already been distributed: The poster shapes the goal. Handing it out does not force them to postpone.
Correct Answer: an introduction to learning the sequence
Passage Reference: see how a simple sequence is learned
Why this is correct: Rosa realigns with the poster: the event should introduce how beginners learn the sequence.
Tips: Reply blank restates the learning introduction, not a stage performance.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a polished performance from a stage: That is the hall picture Mei is moving away from.
- a formal show without questions: Mei wants questions without a formal show.
- a competition for experienced dancers: The audience is beginners, not competitors.
Correct Answer: safe for every dance movement
Passage Reference: slippery for turns
Why this is correct: They must not treat the tiled floor as safe for every dance movement, especially turns.
Tips: Reject the idea that the floor is safe for all moves.
Why the other options are wrong:
- close to the audience: Closeness is a teaching advantage, not the false safety claim.
- useful for a beginner lesson: Being useful is what they want. The missing words show she was too confident that the floor was safe.
- smaller than the main hall: Size difference is noted, but the danger is slipperiness for turns.
Correct Answer: the service route remains open
Passage Reference: will not block the service path
Why this is correct: The mat is allowed only while the service route remains open.
Tips: Service-path clearance is the condition carried into the reply.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the audience sits in rows: Rows are not required in Mei's cafe plan.
- the final spin is restored: The spin is removed for safety.
- the café closes during the event: Closure is not part of the plan.
Correct Answer: useful to beginners
Passage Reference: more useful as an introduction
Why this is correct: A less polished display can still be useful to beginners as an introduction.
Tips: Keep usefulness to beginners as the success measure.
Why the other options are wrong:
- more impressive than a performance: Mei accepts it will be less impressive as a performance.
- identical to the planned stage show: The format changes away from a stage show.
- safe without any floor changes: They still need the mat and to cut the spin.
Correct Answer: postpone the event
Passage Reference: I agree we should postpone.
Why this is correct: If the space cannot be made safe, they should postpone the event.
Tips: Postpone is the agreed backup when the mat cannot be approved.
Why the other options are wrong:
- cancel the beginner poster: They do not cancel the poster. The date may move.
- move the tables ourselves: Table moving is not the agreed fallback.
- perform the final spin: The spin is removed, not restored as a fallback.
