  1. Question 1

    Speaker functionCue 0:00

    Choose the best response.

    • AA. I think the red one looks better on you.
    • BB. Yes, please turn the volume up a bit.
    • C. No worries at all, we're just getting started anyway.
    • DD. The essay is due next Friday, not today.

    Why C is correct

    This directly and appropriately responds to what the speaker said (apology).

    Why the other choices miss

    A
    This reply does not acknowledge the apology, so it is not a natural response.
    B
    This reply does not acknowledge the apology, so it is not a natural response.
    D
    This reply does not acknowledge the apology, so it is not a natural response.
