SKILL 6: LISTEN FOR WHO AND WHAT WITH MULTIPLE NOUNS

Some conversations name more than one noun or more than one person, and it is easy to get confused. Be sure to listen carefully.

(Man) Do you know who is in the band now?

(Woman) Yes, I heard that Mara replaced Robert.

(Question) What does the woman say about the band?

Possible answers:

(A) Robert became a new member of the band.

(B) Robert took Mara’s place in the band.

(C) Mara didn’t have a place in the band.

(D) Mara took Robert’s place in the band.

The correct answer is ''D''. “Mara replaced Robert” means that Robert is out and Mara is in, so the Answer (D) has that same meaning.
