Réponse: A. He has been working night shifts
Lucas says he has been working nights at the hospital. His trip to Halifax has not started yet.
Transcription
Grace: Hi, Lucas! I haven't seen you in the hallway all week.
Lucas: Hi, Grace. I've been working nights at the hospital. Listen, I have a favour to ask.
Grace: Sure, what is it?
Lucas: I'm flying to Halifax on Thursday for my brother's wedding. Could you feed my cat while I'm gone?
Grace: Of course. How long will you be away?
Lucas: Five days. I'm back Monday night. She only needs food in the morning, and fresh water.
Grace: That's easy. Does she take any medicine?
Lucas: Not anymore, thank goodness. But please don't let her out on the balcony. Last summer she jumped onto the neighbour's railing.
Grace: Yikes. I'll keep the balcony door closed. Where should I pick up the key?
Lucas: I'll drop it in your mailbox on Wednesday night. And I'll bring you something from the East Coast to say thanks.
Grace: You don't have to, but I won't say no. Have a wonderful time at the wedding.

Réponse: D. Friday
Nadia says registration closes on Friday. Tuesday is the night the games are played.
Transcription
Tom: Nadia, are you still thinking about joining the Tuesday night soccer league?
Nadia: I want to, but registration closes on Friday, and it costs ninety dollars.
Tom: That's for the whole season, though. Twelve games.
Nadia: True. My real problem is the time. The games start at nine p.m., and I start work at seven in the morning.
Tom: Not all of them. The schedule changes every week, and about half the games start at seven-thirty.
Nadia: Really? I thought they were all late.
Tom: Only half. And you could go home right after the game. You don't have to stay for pizza.
Nadia: Okay, that helps. Do I need my own shin guards?
Tom: Yes, the league doesn't lend them out. But I have an extra pair you can borrow.
Nadia: Perfect. I'll sign up online tonight, before I change my mind.
