Correct Answer: he wants to get to know more local people
Passage Reference: You mentioned that you wanted to meet more people in the neighbourhood, so I thought you might enjoy our beginner craft session
Why this is correct: Owen told Priya he wanted to meet more people in the neighbourhood. That is why she writes about the craft session. A group activity is a friendly way to do that.
Tips: When a question asks why someone is writing, look at the reason the writer gives before the invitation.
Why the other options are wrong:
- he needs flowers for his own spring display: The flowers are for the community centre's display, not Owen's personal display.
- he has offered to lead a craft class: Marisol leads the session, while Owen is being invited as a participant.
- he is studying a new language at the centre: Language students are mentioned only in the parking information.
Correct Answer: the leader shows the process clearly step by step
Passage Reference: Marisol, who leads the session, demonstrates each step slowly and keeps finished examples on the table.
Why this is correct: Marisol teaches slowly and provides examples, so someone without experience can follow along.
Tips: Find the teaching support offered to people with no previous experience.
Why the other options are wrong:
- everyone must create an original design without help: People may follow Marisol's designs, so an original design is optional.
- Priya completes the difficult parts for the group: Priya prepares supplies. Marisol is the one who shows each step slowly.
- participants receive their flowers already finished: The examples guide participants, but everyone will make a flower during the session.
Correct Answer: they could be confused with someone else's
Passage Reference: Please put your name on yours because scissors are easy to mix up.
Why this is correct: Many participants will bring the same kind of tool, so a name helps each person identify their own scissors.
Tips: Use the reason after 'because' to understand the label's purpose.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Marisol needs to check their quality: No inspection of scissors is mentioned.
- the scissors will be used in the display: Paper flowers will form the display. The scissors are only tools for making them.
- the centre wants to keep them afterward: Participants bring their own scissors, and the centre does not ask to keep them.
Correct Answer: help him feel at ease on his first visit
Passage Reference: I can save you a seat beside me if that would make your first visit more comfortable.
Why this is correct: Sitting with someone he knows may make Owen more comfortable at a new group activity.
Tips: Connect the offer with the feeling Priya names in the same sentence.
Why the other options are wrong:
- make him responsible for setting up materials: Priya handles setup herself and invites Owen to join the activity.
- keep him away from the finished examples: Priya does not connect the seat with avoiding examples, which are meant to help participants.
- ensure that he sits beside the session leader: Priya offers a seat beside herself, not specifically beside Marisol.
Correct Answer: there is no fee, but a donation is welcome
Passage Reference: The session is free, though the centre welcomes small donations for future supplies.
Why this is correct: The centre does not charge for the activity, though people may choose to support later sessions.
Tips: Distinguish an optional contribution from a required fee.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the cost depends on the flower design chosen: Participants may choose designs or colours without any stated price difference.
- only first-time visitors must pay for supplies: Supplies are provided and no participant fee is described.
- a donation is required before entering: Donations are welcomed, not required as admission.
Correct Answer: the side lot is the correct place to park
Passage Reference: If you prefer to drive, use the side parking lot because the front spaces are reserved for evening language students.
Why this is correct: Drivers should use the side lot because another group has priority in front of the building.
Tips: Follow the driving condition to the location Priya recommends.
Why the other options are wrong:
- he must collect a parking pass from Priya: Priya gives a location but never mentions a pass.
- he should park beside the bus stop: The bus stop is outside, but it is not described as a parking area.
- the front spaces are available to craft participants: Those spaces are reserved for language students, not the craft group.
Correct Answer: meet people from the neighbourhood
Passage Reference: You mentioned that you wanted to meet more people in the neighbourhood
Why this is correct: Owen accepts the session as a chance to make local connections, which is why Priya invited him.
Tips: Match Owen's response to the personal goal Priya remembered.
Why the other options are wrong:
- sell crafts to the community centre: The group is making decorations for a display, not selling them.
- prepare for my language class: Owen is joining a craft session, and no language class belongs to him.
- avoid speaking with the other participants: The social opportunity attracts Owen, so avoiding others would defeat his purpose.
Correct Answer: demonstrates every step slowly
Passage Reference: Marisol, who leads the session, demonstrates each step slowly
Why this is correct: Owen values Marisol's patient instruction because he is new to this craft.
Tips: Choose the teaching method that directly helps an inexperienced participant.
Why the other options are wrong:
- expects beginners to work alone: Marisol teaches the steps and provides examples rather than leaving beginners without support.
- asks Priya to finish each flower: Priya will join the group after setup, and she is not assigned to finish the crafts.
- uses only one colour of paper: Participants are free to choose their own colours.
Correct Answer: write my name on them
Passage Reference: Please put your name on yours because scissors are easy to mix up.
Why this is correct: Owen will label his scissors as Priya requested so he can distinguish them from other pairs.
Tips: Use the result clause about avoiding a mix-up to select the right action.
Why the other options are wrong:
- leave them on the examples table: The table holds finished examples, and leaving scissors there would not identify them.
- give them to Marisol afterward: The scissors belong to Owen and are not a donation to the leader.
- use them to cut the display wire: Priya asks Owen to label his scissors so they are not mixed up, not to cut display wire.
Correct Answer: do not need to choose a parking lot
Passage Reference: There is a bus stop outside the building. If you prefer to drive, use the side parking lot
Why this is correct: Because Owen will travel by bus, the instructions for drivers do not affect him.
Tips: Decide which travel instructions still apply after Owen chooses the bus.
Why the other options are wrong:
- will arrive through the side parking lot: The side lot is for drivers, while Owen says he will take the bus.
- must ask a language student for a ride: The message says nothing about rides from language students.
- need to reserve a front parking space: Front spaces belong to language students, and a bus passenger needs no space.
Correct Answer: make a small donation
Passage Reference: The session is free, though the centre welcomes small donations for future supplies.
Why this is correct: Owen understands that payment is optional but wants to help replace the supplies the centre provides.
Tips: Choose the voluntary action that supports future materials.
Why the other options are wrong:
- bring all the paper and glue: The centre supplies those materials, so Owen does not need to provide them.
- charge people for my finished flower: The flowers are being made for the centre's display, not sold by participants.
- pay Marisol for a private lesson: This is a free group session, and no private lesson is offered.
