Explanation 4:

• Choice A is who the man is expecting a call from. He needs to go there next week.
• Choice B confuses the sound “message” with “massage”. Similar sound is a common distractor in Part III.
• Choice D is not correct because the man has already made the appointment. If the question was in the past, then it could be correct. Tense is a common distractor used in Part III.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation 5:

• Choice A is incorrect because the woman doesn’t normally answer the man’s calls.
• Choice B is incorrect because the man mentions that he will have to go to a different location (downtown) to sign papers in front of his lawyer.
• Choice D is not correct because there is no mention of this. The man will be at the doctor’s office.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation 6:

• Choice B is the opposite of what the woman offers to do. She offers to take the man’s calls, not make them.
• Choice C repeats the word “paper,” but the conversation does not mention newspaper. Similar sound is a common distractor in Part III.
• Choice D confuses the idea of taking notes at a meeting and taking a message from a phone call.

The correct answer is A.

Transcript:

Man: I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. Are you going to be in the office, or do you have a meeting?
Woman: I’ll be here. And, don’t worry. I don’t have much on for today, so I’ll handle all of your calls.
Man: Thanks. I’m expecting a call from my lawyer. He’s supposed to be sending me some changes to the contracts.
Woman: I’ll make sure to take a detailed message if he calls. Is there anything you want to tell him?
Man: Well, you could remind him that I’m going to need to come downtown and sign a few papers in front of him. I’ll have to set something up for next week.
