Priya: Daniel, did you see the email from the community centre? Our booking for Saturday's fundraiser was cancelled.
Daniel: Cancelled? We've already sold sixty tickets. What happened?
Priya: A pipe burst in the main hall, and they need at least two weeks to repair the floor.
Daniel: Two weeks? The fundraiser is in four days. We can't push it back that far. The money is for the food bank's winter drive.

Antwoord: A. It has no kitchen for the hot dinner
Priya says the gym is big enough, but there's no kitchen, and they promised a hot dinner.
Transcript
Daniel: What about the school gym? My sister works there, and they rent it out on weekends.
Priya: The gym is big enough, but there's no kitchen, and we promised everyone a hot dinner.
Daniel: Right. What about the church hall on Elm Street? It has a kitchen.
Priya: It does, but it only holds forty people. We'd have to turn twenty guests away.
Daniel: Then maybe we split it into two smaller dinners, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
Priya: That doubles the work for our volunteers. Half of them already told me they can only help on one day.

Antwoord: D. Hold the dinner in the gym and cook the food in the church kitchen
They combine the two places: cook in the church kitchen, then drive the food to the gym, where everyone fits.
Transcript
Daniel: Okay, here's another idea. The gym has no kitchen, but the church hall does, and they're only two blocks apart.
Priya: So we cook in the church kitchen and carry the food over to the gym?
Daniel: Exactly. My cousin has a catering van with warming boxes. He could drive the food over in two trips.
Priya: You know, that could actually work. Everyone fits in the gym, and the food stays hot.
Daniel: I'll call my sister about the gym tonight, and you can email the ticket holders with the new address.
Priya: Deal. But let's wait until the gym is confirmed before we send anything.

Antwoord: D. She is nervous about driving a large truck
Megan says she has never driven anything bigger than her car, and a big truck on the highway scares her.
Transcript
Hassan: Could you rent a truck yourself? I can help you load it.
Megan: I thought about that, but I've never driven anything bigger than my car. A big truck on the highway scares me.
Hassan: Fair enough. What about asking your new landlord if you can store things in the garage early?
Megan: I asked. She said the garage is full until the old tenant leaves on Sunday.
Hassan: Hmm. And a storage locker?
Megan: There's a cheap one near me, but then I'd have to move everything twice.

Antwoord: D. It costs less than losing her deposit
Megan says paying him is "still cheaper than losing my deposit." He would be paid the same as the movers, not less.
Transcript
Hassan: Wait. My brother-in-law drives a cube van for a furniture store, and he's off on Fridays.
Megan: Really? Would he do it?
Hassan: If you pay him what the movers would have charged, I'm sure he'll say yes. And he's used to carrying sofas.
Megan: That's still cheaper than losing my deposit. Can you ask him today?
Hassan: I'll text him at lunch. You should start packing the kitchen tonight, just in case.
