AVANT LE STAGE
Révisez les temps présentés dans ce fascicule. Seuls les temps simples y sont abordés. Cela est volontaire :
nous verrons ensemble les temps progressifs.
Si vous avez des difficultés avec les temps simples, complétez ces excercices par des exercices sur une
plateforme d’entrainement en ligne comme anglaisfacile.com.
De nombreuses vidéos sont disponibles sur Youtube pour le «Listening». Ecoutez-en une ou deux parties
en vous concentrant sur les réponses. Vous pouvez aussi écouter les dialogues en regardant les réponses pour
entrainer votre oreille à reconnaître la bonne réponse. Il est essentiel de le faire régulièrement.
Dès le premier jour, vous serez interrogés sur les verbes irréguliers. Il est impératif de tous les connaître.
Cela est une des conditions contractuelles pour le remboursement de votre TOEIC si vous n’améliorez
pas votre score.
Le second jour, vous serez interrogés sur les mots de liaison. Un maximum de deux fautes sera toléré.
Enrichissez votre vocabulaire grâce à des articles de presse comme «The Economist» ou «The Times»,
vous en trouverez beaucoup sur Internet.
Listez-les dans un répertoire et apprenez-les. Le lendemain, refaites la même chose. Une fois l’article lu
en entier, entraînez-vous à le résumer afin de vérifier que vous avez bien tout compris.
Durant le stage, nous reviendrons ensemble sur le vocabulaire de cet article de presse.
Tout au long de votre stage, vous serez testés sur les éléments étudiés en cours afin de vérifier votre
apprentissage.
Good Luck !

Attention, If I WERE => on conjugue le verbe être uniquement à sa forme pluriel, peu
importe le sujet!
Conditionel 3
If I had eaten, you would have been => If + Past perfect est suivi du conditionel passé
8. Subjonctif
Présent
Le subjonctif présent est l’infinitif sans ‘to’ pour tous les verbes y compris ‘be’ et ‘have’.
A l’exception du verbe ‘to be’, il ressemble au présent de l’indicatif avec la particularité que la 3ème personne du
singulier n’a pas de ‘s’.
Passé
Le subjonctif passé a la même forme que le prétérit pour tous les verbes à l’exception du verbe ‘to be’ qui fait ‘were’
à toutes les personnes
8

To this day the trained eye can still spot the occasional boxy Chinese tractor lumbering around rural Albania, a
reminder of the time when this Balkan backwater was China’s biggest champion in Europe. In the 1960s Chinese
aid and capital propped up Enver Hoxha’s dire regime in return for its support at the UN, where Taiwan still held
the Chinese seat. Now some fear that what comes around goes around. Chinese money is pouring into Europe’s
heart and its periphery. It sometimes seems to have a political edge.
Public investment in the European Union is at its lowest for 20 years. Little wonder some are looking east. The
stock of Chinese investment in Europe is low compared with America’s or Japan’s, but it is shooting up. Accor-
ding to one study, in 2016 its new FDI in the EU was over 77% above that the year before, at €35bn ($41bn).
These days China’s attention is on the innovation hubs of northern Europe as much as on infrastructure, but
crisis-hit southern economies have also lapped up its lucre, especially those that have had to divest state assets
under euro-zone bail-outs. Last year Cosco, a Chinese state-owned shipping firm, acquired a controlling stake
in the main Greek port of Piraeus, providing Chinese maritime exporters with a European foothold. Portugal is
rolling in Chinese loot.
But the latest front is further east. This week Li Keqiang, China’s prime minister, swooped into Budapest for
the annual meeting of the snappily titled Co-operation Between China and Central and Eastern European
Countries (colloquially known as the 16+1 format), bringing promises worth €3bn. There is talk of investment
in Estonian dairy, Slovakian freight and a high-speed rail link from Serbia to Hungary (which may violate EU
tendering rules). Beata Szydlo, Poland’s prime minister, grumbled about Chinese red tape, but Viktor Orban,
her Hungarian counterpart, was more effusive, celebrating China’s economic heft and its agreeable habit of not
talking about democracy or human rights
For some western Europeans all this revives old concerns, and sparks new ones. The first is that in their rush for
renminbi some European governments will become proxies for Chinese interests. The fear is hardly groundless.
In June Greece vetoed a common EU position at the UN on human rights in China. Earlier, pressure from Hun-
gary, Greece and others had watered down an EU statement after an international court had condemned China’s
mischief-making in the South China Sea
Balkan countries like Serbia, their accession to the EU years away, may be tempted to see China as a geopolitical
hedge against Europe, even though most have little to offer beyond their position on the “Balkan Silk Road”
between Piraeus and Europe’s rich heartlands.

Hello Agnes,
I am having troubles installing the upgrade for our database management software and thought you might
be able to help me. As per your instructions, I launch the .exe file and choose the software language. Then
the installer offers to select the folder in which the software should be installed; however, whatever folder I
choose, I get the message “An error has occurred,” and the installation stops.
Have you run into this situation before? If yes, how did you solve it? If no, would you have any wild guess as
for what I should do? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

It’s nice to hear from you. Sorry it’s been so long since our last email exchange. Things have been a bit crazy
at the office. We were awarded a major contract last month that we had been bidding on for quite a while.
It was exciting to land the big fish, but now it means that we’ve really had to buckle down and get to work
to meet all the deadlines. We were the smallest company bidding for the job, but I think they liked that we
60
are family-owned and -run. The first stage of the project is due in three weeks so we’ve been researching and
doing an analysis of what was missing from previous marketing campaigns and what we can add to make this
new campaign more successful. We’ve really been missing you around the office. We could use your expertise
right about now. I’m sure you’re enjoying your new job as stay-at-home dad, but if you ever decide to come
back to work, you always have a spot here.
The last few years have been hard. The housing market stagnated, and sales were at an all-time low. Finally,
sales have begun to pick up and houses are once again moving on and off the market. Our customers are
getting prices that are much closer to what they deserve for their homes, and we are able to grow our list of
satisfied clients. It is definitely still a buyer’s market and will stay that way until prices come back up to where
they should be. That being said, people are finally feeling more financially stable and in a better position to buy
a new home. The banks are starting to give loans once more, and the dream of owning a home is becoming a
reality for many people. This company has seen some great success over the past year, and this could not have
been done without you, the talented realtors who work days, nights, and weekends to get homes sold. We
thank you for all that you do and look forward to an even better year next year.

Questions 164 through 167 refer to the following notice:
The full list of benefits and the explanations of each benefit can be found in the employee handbook that
was given out at your orientation. If you have misplaced your handbook or would like another copy, please

part-time employees have been awarded certain healthcare benefits provided that those benefits were in
direct accordance to health risks posed by the job. These benefits exceptions must be cleared through mana-
gement and cannot be authorized by Human Resources. Any questions about benefits should be directed to
your Human Resources Representative. Please be aware that most concerns are addressed in the employee
handbook in the Frequently Asked Questions section. It is recommended you consult this before talking to
an HR representative.

Günter Zimmermann Well, it depends on the orders received by December 15th, of course. Any pro-
15:08 jected or unconfirmed sale orders as of now?
Sean Fitzpatrick That’s an on-going process, as usual, but let me check with the team and tell

agrees with me.

Dear Anwar,
As you know, we are one of the leading consulting groups in the world and have offices around the globe. We
specialize in a variety of industries including Government and NGOs, Trade, Technology, Manufacturing,
and Agriculture. I have attached a chart showing the distribution of our activities.

designers, and analysts. We believe that creativity and quality of product know no experience level, so we create
teams that have recent graduates working alongside experienced professionals.
TEST BLANC 1. 65

of competition.
We are always looking for new talent to join our teams in sectors we are in the process of increasing our
presence in. If you feel like you would be a good fit here then I highly recommend you send in your CV and

I am writing to inform you that your requested merger with MNDY Technologies has been put on hold
pending an investigation into the nature of the merger and the potential effects of that merger on the tech-
nologies market. The companies are the two largest producers of technology and a concern has been raised
that a merger will create a monopoly of the market, specifically the mobile device application sector. As per
government regulations, a monopoly may not exist in any industry where it could have a negative impact for
consumers. In this case, the concern would be that prices would be set higher than is fair and that advance-
ments in technology would be slowed due to lack of pressure to create new applications. Our team of inves-
tigators will visit both your company and MNDY Technologies to determine if, indeed, a monopoly would
exist as a result of a merger. This government investigation is expected to take six months but could take less
time with full cooperation from both companies.
Sincerely,
Mark Jacobs
Dear Mr. Jacobs,
Thank you for contacting my office with regards to your investigation. We will obviously be more than happy
to assist. Our own lawyers have worked closely with the legal team at MNDY to be sure that a merger will not
result in a monopoly. We are very concerned with following the law to a tee and do not wish to do anything
that might harm our customers. Through their examination, it was determined that given the fact that the
companies do research, development, and sales of a wide variety of software for desktop computers, the risk
of a monopoly is low. Neither of the two companies has a particularly large mobile device application depart-
ment. The fusion of these two departments will, in fact, merely make us a player equal to other competitors in
the market – not market leaders. I am, of course, glad to share our research with you and will cooperate fully
with your investigation.
Sincerely,
Eugenia Alvarez
CEO
TEST BLANC 1. 67
181. Why is the merger a potential concern?
(A) It would be very expensive.
(B) It could create market dominance.
(C) It could take a long time.
(D) It will be extremely unpopular with consumers.
182. What sort of organization does Mark Jacobs likely work for?
(A) Government office
(B) Technology firm
(C) Consulting organization
(D) Mobile application developer
183. Who has already helped Eugenia Alvarez to look into issues with the merger?
(A) The companies’ legal teams
(B) The companies’ boards of directors
(C) The companies’ management teams
(D) The companies’ marketing divisions
185. What is the most probable reason for Ms. Alvarez to stress that she will fully cooperate with the inves-
tigation?
(A) She wants to seem helpful in order to avoid a fine.
(B) Mr. Jacobs said it would make the investigation go faster.
(C) She and Mr. Jacobs used to work together.
(D) She is trying to show that Mr. Jacobs is biased.

Thank you again for choosing our convention center for your upcoming conference.
I am writing to inform you that, unfortunately, we have to ask you to bring more equipment than initially
specified: namely, extension cords and headsets. While we do have some here, I am not sure they will be suf-
ficient for all your teams. I suggest you bring double of the originally planned quantities.

Hi Amanda,
Would you do me a favor sometime today or tomorrow? I’ve already left for the conference but got an email
this morning that the convention center needs us to bring a few more items. Apparently they don’t have
enough of the basic equipment... I am forwarding their email to you.
I know we have packed already, but I need you to go and check the supply closet to see if we have all the
new items that have been requested. If we don’t have them, I need you to get them – either from a different
department or from a store. If you end up having to buy things, use your company card. Also, remember to
bring along the company’s proof of non-profit status. We are tax-exempt so the stores need to remove the
tax from the grand total of the purchase. I’ve enclosed the inventory list that I made up before leaving. Please
make adjustments to it once you’ve secured the additional items.
Thanks,
Debra
187. Where is the first place Amanda should look for the additional items?

Questions 191 through 195 refer to the following email, schedule, and text message
exchange:
May 20, 3:15 p.m.
Dear Marianne,
I’m so excited that you decided to accept the position here in the London office. There is a great team out
here, and I think you’ll fit in well. It’s been a little hard adjusting to the weather after living in Los Angeles
for my entire life, but I’m sure you won’t have a problem with that having grown up in Seattle and Vancouver.
The weather is pretty similar, really – overcast and drizzly with periods of sun a few times a day. Public trans-
portation here is top-notch, and I recommend taking the train from the airport when you arrive. I’ve attached
a train schedule for you so you can see which one works given your 7:45 a.m. arrival. Remember you’ll need
to clear immigration and customs, so I recommend expecting to get to the train platform about 2 hours after
you land. Our offices are a few blocks away from the train station, so I can meet you there, and we can walk
back to the office together. Have a safe flight!
Sanjay
Marianne
Hi Sanjay,
So sorry, there is a huge line at the passport control…
May 23, 9:20 a.m.

No problem. Just text me again when you are on the train, and I’ll step out
of the office then.

going through heavy construction this coming fall. We will temporarily close down all affected rides and
buildings until the new specifications have been met, which will include five of our roller coasters, two child-

Zoltan Petofi Plain white porcelain.
17:07
Lola Svobodova That doesn’t sound like a huge order to me. I am sure that at the current production capacity
17:09 we can manufacture those in 5 working days.
Benjamin, how long will it take your team to pack them afterwards?
Benjamin Judge As the packing machine is still under repair, we’ll have to do it manually. 3 days, I would
17:11 say. But if it’s urgent, we can hire temporary personnel. You tell me.
Zoltan Petofi That actually sounds wonderful to me. “Under two weeks” is better than what the client is
17:12 expecting. Thank you both so much!

(B) He is disappointed that the packing machine is still under repair.
(C) He confirms that he understands that the client’s order is urgent.
(D) He allows his colleagues to choose between packing in 3 days and hiring extra personnel.
I have been a consumer of both your beauty product line and your spa services at Spa Z for many years now.
My entire skincare regimen is stocked with only your items, I visit the Spa Z resort twice a month, and I have
been receiving excellent service since 2003.
__[1]__ Apparently, the staff members you have employed have not been trained to accommodate the changes,
and the products you are now selling have inflated prices for less material. __[2]__
For example, last month I walked in two minutes late to my scheduled time and was told the computer system
in place would not allow me to check in late, causing a hassle before I could attend my appointment. __[3]__
This week, I was talked into purchasing a new line of hair products and realized the new hairspray was half
the size, but twice the cost of the old one. When I inquired about the product and the other sizes, the advisor
at the desk wasn’t able to answer any of my questions.
__[4]__ I would deeply regret revoking my membership from the spa, but I am afraid I will have to do it if
nothing is done about the undertrained staff.
Sincerely,
Rose Lee

As discussed in last week’s meeting, the Optometry Expo is coming up quickly and open spots for last-minute
attendees are running low. If you are wishing to attend, you may either respond to the Expo newsletter with
your name and workplace information or call them directly to sign up and receive your attendant ID.
Those who go will receive vouchers for each panel deemed beneficial to the studies focused on those within
our offices, such as ophthalmology and disease. Any panels or classes held outside our current schedule will be
at the expense of the individual, though you are encouraged to explore your options to further your education
in the field. While accommodation will be included for those attending, food and drink will be at the expense
of the employee.
We have temporarily entered an exchange program to train new employees in order to prepare them for
work in larger, busier offices, rather than the small university clinics they start in. Employees chosen to train
multiple individuals will be compensated with a bonus at the end of the month, based on the productivity
throughout the training program.
If there are any further questions, contact me to clear up any discrepancies as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Einar Nilssen
173. Which of the following is necessary for registering for Optometry Expo?
(A) Attendant ID
(B) A panel voucher

Questions 176 through 180 refer to the following email and chart:
Dear Jessica,
To address your questions at the last meeting, we have compiled the survey results of the two previous years
in order to compare our 2015 and 2016 marketing models.
Our experts have taken into account our customer satisfaction polls, carried out among 1,000 randomly selec-
ted clients. From our findings, we conclude that the marketing event in late 2015 was extremely successful
and resulted in higher customer satisfaction ratings the following year. We, therefore, recommend holding it
annually in order to boost both brand recognition and customer retention rate.
Thank you for the information supplied at the meeting; it has brought much insight to our online ratings.
For instance, your intuition regarding the proportion of unhappy customers has proved to be correct. We will
organize an internal meeting as soon as possible in order to address the situation.
Thank you,
Donald

We regret to inform you that we have come across a few discrepancies in our last shipment. It has been two
months since the changes in your warehouse location were made, and we expected such mistakes to have
been addressed and solved by this point in time. First, our previous shipment was made over three trips, not
the usual single trip, which has caused a delay in stocking our location. As for supplies such as cups, lids, and
straws: a larger amount than was expected has been delivered, resulting in an imbalanced invoice, whereas we
ordered only 30 units of each the previous week. Finally, we have also received the wrong cleaning products.
Please respond if you may shed some light on the situation.
Sincerely,
Justin Grady
Manager
Thank you for your message sent yesterday. I am happy to provide the explanations regarding the situation.
From the supervising manager’s signature on the previous few orders, we have observed that your management
has changed, indicating another person placing the orders. While this person has ordered the correct amount
of the usual supplies, he or she may have failed to mention to you the modified schedule of the deliveries.
Two months ago we indeed changed warehouse locations. We do apologize for the multiple trucks arriving
with different parts of your inventory, but it was the only way to get them to your facility without delay when
coming from our multiple warehouses.
Regarding the excessive plasticware, we will gladly allow you to keep the surplus and the new invoice will be
addressed to you, reflecting only the 30 units of each item, as per your original order. Finally, your order of the
cleaning products will be reviewed by an experienced member of our shipping team, and I will inform you of
the results within one business day.
Sincerely,
Armando Aguillar,
Head of Shipping

(A) The products delivered were coming from different warehouses.
(B) Warehouse location was changed two months ago.
(C) The manager at Mr. Grady’s company has changed.

(C) Change of a manager at Mr. Grady’s company and change of office location at Mr. Aguillar’s company

Questions 196 through 200 refer to the following online advertisement, review, and
comment:
Offaly County Farmers Market
What would a trip to Ireland be without visiting at least one of its famous farmers markets!
Offaly County Farmers Market, boasting over 70 stalls and open every Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., is com-
mitted to selling products only from within Offaly County: a policy that has been strictly enforced for the
past 25 years.
Vendors offer an unbelievably wide choice of fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, bread and pastries,
milk, butter, cheeses, meats, trout, and traditional beverages – all grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked,
smoked, or cooked by the stall holder.
Located only 100 kilometers west of Dublin, the market is easy to reach by car or train. Remember to bring
along your largest basket!
Your review:
My husband and I gave Offaly Market a try last week and weren’t sorry about it. Less than one hour by train from
Dublin, and we were in the middle of a vibrant, welcoming, and generous place. The only regret is that we didn’t find
any trout, which is, however, specifically mentioned in the market description. We’ve been compensated though, with
exquisite dry bacon – apparently, some variety not found anywhere else in Ireland. Highly recommended!
PS. I actually did forget my basket, but that turned out to be an advantage: I had a chance to get a nicely decorated
local one, for a very reasonable price.
Your comment:
Dear Mildred,
We are honoured with your visit to Offaly County Farmers Market and are pleased to learn that it has been an
enjoyable experience.
As for the trout: I totally agree that it can be a disappointment, as I am a big fan myself, but please keep in mind that
trout fishing is authorised in Ireland from February through October only. Next time you visit, I suggest you try our
cured products – some of them are even more delicious than the fresh fish!
Looking forward to welcoming you again in Offaly!

(A) Offaly County farmers
(B) Offaly County residents

Listening Section
Part 1
1. Answer (B)
In the photograph, one can see people pointing at a document that looks like a graph or a chart, so statement
(B) is an accurate assumption. The meal is clearly in progress, so statement (A) is wrong. There are no desserts in
sight, so statement (C) is also wrong. Only one person is holding a glass and not drinking from it, so statement
(D) is largely inexact.
2. Answer (C)
In the photograph, once can observe the sea and a city next to it, so statement (C) is clearly correct. There are free
parking spaces, the red car is parked, and no one is walking towards the building.
3. Answer (D)
In the photograph, one can see a man’s hand holding a pen – either pointing at something in the document or
writing on it. Statement (D) is therefore the best description. The man is not typing, the papers are on the com-
puter, and the computer is screen is clearly on.
4. Answer (A)
The man and the woman definitely look preoccupied, or concerned, so statement (A) is correct. They are not
talking to each other, so statement (B) is not correct. While the computer can be seen in the photograph, the two
people are not looking at it and are not touching any computer equipment, so statement (C) cannot be assumed
as correct. The man and woman are clearly in the middle of work, and nothing suggests that they are taking a
break – statement (D) cannot be right.
5. Answer (D)
In the photograph, one can see no cruise ships (which are typically much larger than the yachts seen in the
picture), people, or a single cloud. Therefore, statements (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect. In the background, one
can see an unfinished skyscraper with a crane over it, which suggests that the construction is in progress and
statement (D) is correct.
6. Answer (B)
No one in the picture is either speaking on the phone or taking notes, so statements (A) and (C) cannot be cor-
rect. One of the men is pointing at the computer screen with his pen and the other with his hand, so statement
(B) is correct. Statement (D) is wrong because “adjourned” means “postponed” or “suspended,” while in the picture
the meeting is clearly in progress.
142
Part 2
7. Answer (C)
Response (A) gives a general statement about the relationship between cost and quality but this statement cannot
refer to parking since one doesn’t talk about the quality of parking. Response (B) explains where parking is avai-
lable but not how much it costs. Response (C) says that the price depends on the length of time the car is parked.
8. Answer (B)
Response (A) talks about a green folder, not a blue one. Response (C) describes the location of a person (“her”),
not an object. Response (B) gives the folder’s last known location.
9. Answer (C)
Response (A) talks about having a lawyer read the document but not where to sign the document. Response (B)
gives a physical location of where the person responding to the question signs things but not where the spea-
ker who actually asked the question should sign. Response (C) describes where in the document a signature is
required.
144
offers an opinion about taxes but doesn’t say when they must be paid. Response (C) gives two months when the
taxes are due.
Part 3
32. Answer (B)
The woman says it is on her calendar for tomorrow.
146
49. Answer (B)
The man says that Pedro is “just starting out,” which implies that he is young and new to a career.
148
Part 4
71. Answer (D)
According to the speaker, “People want to know the best way to safely grow their money… I think this is a com-
mon concern today.” Therefore, answer choice (B) is the best possible answer. Earning money (A), children (B),
and early retirement (C) are never discussed in the talk.
150
93. Answer (B)
The speaker says that the experiences were all due to the “incredible people” the speaker has worked with.
152
110. Answer (C)
The question refers to location. The question word that is used for location or place is “where,” answer choice (C).
154
Part 6
131. Answer (A)
Team-building events are organized for employees of the same company, i.e. colleagues. A synonym for “collea-
gues” is “coworkers.” In the context of the message, it is highly unlikely that an event manager would recommend
socializing with clients (B) or partners (D). While answer choice (C) cannot be excluded, option (A) is by far
the best.
156
Part 7
147. Answer (B)
In the second paragraph of the email, Mr. Ibarrola clearly asks Ms. Laval for advice as for what to do in the
situation: answer choice (B) is the best. While he obviously is describing a problem, the tone of the email does
not make one think that he is complaining about it, so choice (A) cannot be correct.
158
169. Answer (B)
The email says that seats can be changed “by visiting our website.”
160
191. Answer (B)
Sanjay says that he has lived his entire life in Los Angeles prior to London. This indicates that he grew up there.
Listening Section
Part 1
190. Answer (C)1. Answer (C)
In the picture, you can see coffee with dessert served for two, but no people: answer choices (A) and (D) are
incorrect. The forks are next to the plates with cakes, not to the cups, so answer choice (B) is also wrong. Answer
(C) is correct: each of the two cups is on a saucer.
2. Answer (C)
In the photograph, one can see a man and a woman in the back of a car looking at the screen of a laptop: answer
choices (A) and (B) are incorrect, and choice (C) is correct. It’s the man, not the woman, who is wearing sun-
glasses, so choice (D) is wrong.
3. Answer (D)
The main element of the photograph is a clock tower, which is indeed decorated with banners, so answer choice
(D) is the best. All the other statements contradict the picture: no woman is crossing the street, no parade in
sight, and the second tower is clearly on the other side of the road.
4. Answer (B)
In the photograph, one can see neither a man nor a microscope: answer choices (C) and (D) can be excluded. A
doctor is examining a patient’s eyes with a special machine, so answer choice (B) is correct, while statement (A)
is wrong.
5. Answer (A)
In the photograph, one can see a swimming stadium with two pools, but only one of them seems open to the
public, so answer choices (B) and (D) are wrong. All the seats in the stadium are empty: there are no spectators,
meaning choice (C) is also wrong. The only correct statement is the most general one – answer (A): the weather
is indeed sunny, and there are people bathing in one of the pools.
6. Answer (C)
In the photograph, one can see a man standing and bringing his pass (or ticket) to a validating machine, while on
board of a bus. This means that answer choice (C) is correct, whereas all the other choices contradict the scene.
162
Part 2
7. Answer (B)
The question (“how”) calls for a response describing a method. Response (C) does not suggest any, and is there-
fore incorrect. Answer choices (A) and (B) both offer a method, but it’s highly unlikely that a password can be
changed by sending an email, especially given the word “instead,” so choice (A) can be eliminated. Response (B)
is correct: the man needs to talk to the IT team in order to have his password changed.
8. Answer (A)
The question (“how many”) calls for a number in the response. Therefore, choice (B) can be eliminated. Response
(C) talks about the number of questionnaires (“print them”), not questions in a questionnaire, and is therefore
wrong. Response (A) is the only correct one: not more than 10 questions.
9. Answer (C)
Response (A) talks about staples, not staplers. Response (B) indicates the location of the supply closet, without
answering the question. Answer choice (C) is correct: the woman believes there are some staplers in the closet
since she saw them there recently.
164
26. Answer (A)
Response (B) is clearly incorrect, as the question is about a number, and (B) doesn’t provide any. Response (C)
mentions a number, but can’t be logical, since CVs are not counted in halves. Response (A) is correct: the job
opening is very popular, and several hundred CVs have been received. The speakers will have a lot of work sorting
through them.
Part 3
32. Answer (D)
The two speakers are discussing who will go to their next convention: answer choice (D) is therefore correct.
The paperwork (choice (B)) is a minor detail. The sales team is not on vacation (and won’t be), only Adam is, so
answer choice (A) cannot be correct. The speakers are not discussing the organizational aspects of the convention,
so choice (C) cannot be assumed as correct.
34. When suggesting Paul instead of Adam, the woman says, “Paul has been greatly improving, so he would be a
good substitute,” which means that Paul has made good progress lately – answer choice (C) is correct.
166
44. Answer (B)
The meeting is “scheduled for 12 p.m.,” which is noon.
168
62. Answer (A)
The applications and processor are mentioned by the woman, not the man, so choices (B) and (C) are not confir-
med in the dialog. Choice (D) contradicts the man’s words, as he mentions touchscreen as a feature of a computer
he would recommend. Which leaves (A) as the only correct answer choice: the man says that his computer “works
well for travel.”
170
woman is not talking about green energies in general and does not promote any kind of them other than the
solar panels; besides, she clearly represents a business (“our company”): answer choice (B) cannot be considered
correct. Answer choices (C) and (D) are minor details from the talk and clearly not the main purpose of the
woman’s speech.
172
98. Answer (B)
Stephen says he is calling from “Outward Events, regarding the setup for our upcoming cocktail,” implying that
he works in a company that organizes events – in this particular case, a cocktail.
Reading Section
Part 5
101. Answer (B)
The context of the sentence calls for an indefinite article. As the word “honest” starts with a vowel sound, the
article should be “an,” not “a.”
174
119. Answer (B)
The sentence describes a situation when one action happened in the past “the phone rang,” while another action
was happening at the same moment. Therefore the verb in the blank must be conjugated in past progressive tense:
“was sorting.”
176
141. Answer (B)
In this context, the blank should be filled with a word meaning “far away.” This is the case of the word “remotest.”
Choices (A) and (C) indicate exactly the opposite meaning, and choice (D) is clearly off topic.
Part 7
147. Answer (D)
The ticket is for traveling with NeueHansa Ferries, and it mentions “cabin class.” Therefore, the trip will take
place on a ship.
178
162. Answer (B)
Regarding the clients who choose not to file online, the ad states, “we are more than happy to reimburse the extra
money needed for first class shipping.” Options (A) and (D) find no confirmation in the text. And while (C)
might be true, it is never stated or implied in the ad.
180
182. Answer (A)
Mr. Aguillar explains that “it was the only way to get [the goods] to your facility without delay when coming
from our multiple warehouses” when talking about multiple trucks delivering the supplies; therefore, choice (A)
is correct. All the other answer choices provide details from the email exchange that do not give a reason per se
for multiple deliveries.
