Sagot: B. Their restaurant is closed that week
Rosa says the restaurant is "closed all week for renovations", so they need a new plan.
Transcript
Rosa: Hi Ben. I just called Lakeview Grill about our team lunch on Friday. They're closed all week for renovations.
Ben: Oh no. We promised everyone a lunch out. What else can we do?
Rosa: There's a food truck that parks by the river. We could eat at the picnic tables there.
Ben: I checked the forecast this morning. It says heavy rain on Friday.
Rosa: Then let's order food and have it delivered here. We can use the big meeting room.
Ben: Good idea. I'll book the room and send a menu to the team today, so they can choose before Wednesday. -

Sagot: D. A library program that lends tools
The whole report is about the library starting to lend tools. This is a general meaning question.
Transcript
In local news, the Northfield Public Library will start lending tools next month.
Starting November 3, anyone with a library card can borrow items such as ladders, drills and garden tools, free of charge.
City councillor Grace Okafor proposed the idea last spring. Okafor says many residents use a tool only once or twice a year, so sharing saves money and space.
Tools can be borrowed for two weeks at a time. The library says it will add more items if the program is popular. -

Sagot: B. Customers have nowhere to park
The business owners say customers drive past their shops because there is nowhere to park.
Transcript
Our town has an empty lot on Cedar Street, and people disagree about what to do with it.
Some business owners want it paved for parking. They say customers drive past their shops because there is nowhere to park.
A group of residents wants a community garden. They say families in nearby apartments have no yard, and a garden would bring neighbours together.
In my view, the town does not have to choose just one. Most of the lot could become a garden, and a small strip along the street could hold a few short-term parking spaces. That would help both groups. -

Sagot: C. Nervous about a new job
Jordan keeps thinking about the new job and worries about forgetting names. The word "nervous" is not said, so this is an inference.
Transcript
Sam: You look tired. Is everything OK?
Jordan: I start my new job on Monday, and I keep thinking about it. What if I don't remember everyone's names?
Sam: Everyone feels that way on the first day. Just write the names down after you meet people.
Jordan: That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that.
