Subject: Shelter for the family reunion
To: Morgan
From: Casey

Hi Morgan,

We now expect fifty relatives at the reunion. Aunt June and Uncle Ravi use walkers, and the forecast is uncertain, so we need both a manageable path and dependable cover.

Thanks,

A.I. Explanation:

Correct Answer: LAKESIDE SHELTER
Why this is correct: Lakeside holds fifty people, has a short level path and provides a solid roof.
Tips: Check capacity, access and cover together.
Why the other options are wrong:
HILLTOP SHELTER: Hilltop has enough capacity and a solid roof, but its long steep gravel path is unsuitable for walker users.
MEADOW SHELTER: Meadow has level access, but it holds only 45 and has only a partial roof.
either Hilltop or Meadow: Each alternative fails at least one stated need, so they are not both suitable.
Correct Answer: 55 people
Why this is correct: Lakeside’s capacity is fifty-five, enough for the expected fifty relatives.
Tips: Distinguish attendance from capacity.
Why the other options are wrong:
70 people: Seventy is Hilltop’s capacity.
45 people: Meadow holds only forty-five, fewer than the expected group.
exactly 50 people: Fifty is the expected attendance, not the shelter’s stated capacity.
Correct Answer: level 120 m path
Why this is correct: Lakeside is reached by a level path that is 120 metres long.
Tips: Keep the route with its shelter.
Why the other options are wrong:
steep 260 m gravel path: That difficult route leads to Hilltop.
level 300 m path: The longer level path leads to Meadow.
route with stone steps: No shelter route in the guide is described with stone steps.
Correct Answer: solid roof
Why this is correct: Lakeside has a solid roof, giving the reliable rain cover Casey requires.
Tips: Match uncertain weather with dependable cover.
Why the other options are wrong:
partial roof: Meadow has partial cover, which may not protect the full group.
open pergola: No shelter is described as an open pergola.
temporary umbrella cover: The guide does not provide umbrella cover.
Correct Answer: picnic tables
Why this is correct: The footer says tables come with every shelter permit.
Tips: Separate included furniture from services needing approval.
Why the other options are wrong:
amplified music approval: Music approval is separate rather than included automatically.
a sound system: The permit does not provide sound equipment.
catering staff: No catering staff are included.
Correct Answer: Its steep gravel approach may be difficult for guests using walkers
Why this is correct: Hilltop’s capacity and roof work, but the 260 m steep gravel path conflicts with the mobility need.
Tips: Identify the one stated need Hilltop fails.
Why the other options are wrong:
Its capacity is below fifty: Hilltop holds seventy, so capacity is not its problem.
It has only a partial roof: Hilltop has a solid roof; partial cover belongs to Meadow.
It does not allow picnic tables: All permits include picnic tables.
Correct Answer: Separate approval if someone brings amplified music
Why this is correct: Casey will apply for music approval only if a relative plans to bring a speaker.
Tips: Use the condition attached to Casey’s next action.
Why the other options are wrong:
A larger shelter if anyone brings lunch: Lakeside already holds the group, and lunch does not change its capacity.
Payment for the tables included with the permit: The permit already includes tables.
A roof inspection because Lakeside has no cover: Lakeside has a solid roof.
Correct Answer: Including the whole group comfortably despite mobility and weather concerns
Why this is correct: Casey rejects larger Hilltop and level-access Meadow because only Lakeside handles attendance, walkers and rain together.
Tips: Infer the priority from the combined requirements.
Why the other options are wrong:
Choosing the shelter with the greatest capacity regardless of access: Hilltop is largest, but Casey rejects its steep path.
Avoiding every shelter with a solid roof: Casey selects Lakeside because its solid roof is useful.
Holding the reunion without food or seating: The permit includes tables and Casey plans to serve lunch.
