     Dialogue 1 ……………………… 

    • It was a bit disappointing. I just did something low key.

    • I’ve had a rethink and I believe that this will work better.

    • Everyone’s talking about it at the moment. It’s fascinating stuff.

    • I’m really pleased for him. It’s great news.

    • To be quite honest, I’m a bit sick of that type of thing.

    Correct Answer
    A. It was a bit disappointing. I just did something low key.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "It was a bit disappointing. I just did something low key."

    This answer is correct because it accurately reflects the first statement in the dialogue. The speaker expresses their disappointment and mentions that they did something low key. The other statements in the dialogue do not mention disappointment or doing something low key, so they are not the correct answer.

    Why is Megan phoning Emily?   

    • To make an arrangement

    • To cancel an arrangement

    • To change an arrangement

    Correct Answer
    A. To change an arrangement
    Explanation
    Megan is phoning Emily to change an arrangement. This suggests that there was already an existing arrangement between them, but Megan wants to modify it for some reason. The other options of making or canceling an arrangement would imply different intentions or actions, which are not indicated in the given answer. Therefore, the most appropriate explanation is that Megan is contacting Emily to alter their initial agreement.

    Correct Answer
    A. Everyone’s talking about it at the moment. It’s fascinating stuff.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Everyone’s talking about it at the moment. It’s fascinating stuff." because it is the only statement that suggests a topic of conversation that is interesting to people. The other statements either express disappointment, a change in opinion, or a personal preference, which do not indicate a widely discussed and intriguing subject.
