Toeic II

Question and Response.

Ex :

How many people are coming to the conference?
A) There were 70 people there.
B) I don't think she is coming.
C) At least 150 people.

• Choice A has a distractor called a related word. When you hear the words, "how many" your brain automatically looks for a response with a number in it. This is an error that the test maker expects you to make. Also, the response is in the past tense, but the question asks about the future.
• Choice B is a distractor called a repeated word. The word "coming" is in the question but the answer B does not make sense.This is another common error that the test maker expects you to make.

The correct answer choice is C.

Ex II :

Do you think the boss will take us out for lunch today?

A) I had a hamburger and fries.
B) He's probably too busy today.
C) I didn't take the bus.

• Choice A contains related words. The test taker wants you to associate "lunch" with "hamburger and fries". Try not to get tricked this way!
• Choice C is a distractor called similar sounds. The word "boss" sounds similar to the word "bus". This is another common error that you need to watch out for.

The correct answer is B.

 Ex III

Did you have to wait very long?

A) No more than an hour.
B) I hate long line-ups.
C) I've gained twenty pounds.

• Choice B is another common distractor that uses the same word with a different meaning. In the question, the word "long" refers to amount of time. In the answer choice, the word "long" refers to distance.
• Choice C associates the word "wait" (which could be confused for "weight") with "pounds". The test maker wants to trick you twice!

The correct answer is A.

Toeic III

Short Conversations

Ex :

Man: Do you want to share a taxi to the airport? We can save on expenses that way, and as you know the company is trying to cut costs.
Woman: Actually I'm not flying. I'm going to the conference by bus. I have to leave tomorrow because it's going to take two days to get there.
Man: That's right. I forgot that you are afraid of flying. Are you taking a vacation day tomorrow?
Woman: Well, I worked some overtime last week, so I just banked it instead of wasting a holiday day.

Next you will read three questions with four possible answers:

1. What are the man and woman mainly discussing?

A) A vacation
B) A budget
C) A company policy
D) A conference

2. How is the woman traveling?

A) By plane
B) By bus
C) By taxi
D) By car

3. Why aren't the man and woman going together?

A) The woman needs to arrive earlier.
B) The man has to work overtime.
C) The woman dislikes air travel.
D) The man has to go to the bank first.

Explanation 1:

• Choice A is mentioned, but the man is asking if she needs to take a "vacation day". In Part III there is often one or two choices that are mentioned but are not correct.
• Choice B is related to saving money for the company, but this is not the main topic of the conversation. Be careful with main subject questions, because incorrect choices may be small details from the conversation.
• Choice C repeats the word "company," but no policy is mentioned. In Part III there is often one choice that includes a word from the conversation. You may have heard the word, but it is not the correct choice.

The correct answer is D.

Explanation 2:         

• Choice A is how the man is getting to the conference. In Part III there is often one or two choices that are mentioned but are not correct.
• Choice C is how the man is getting to the airport. "Taxi" is mentioned but is not correct.
• Choice D is not mentioned. In Part III there is often one choice that is not mentioned at all.

The correct answer is B.

Explanation 3:

• Choice A confuses the idea of "leaving earlier" and "arriving earlier".
• Choice B repeats the word "overtime", but it was the woman who did overtime last week.
• Choice D uses the homonym bank, but in this conversation the term "bank" means to store up for later use, not a financial institution. In Part III there are often homonyms as distractors.

The correct answer is C.
