How about watching an action?:** **Correct** ; politely declines and proposes a different movie genre (_“How about…?”_). ✅ **FINAL ANSWER:** **D) It sounds scary. How about watching an action?** * * * #### Question 4 - **Student Statements:** - Brian: _“every Sunday”_ \rightarrow happens once every seven days (once a week). - Julia: _“nine hours a day”_ \rightarrow spends an excessive amount of time, not rarely. - Sarah: _“at weekends”_ \rightarrow Saturday and Sunday, not Mondays. - Tom: _“once a month”_ \rightarrow one time per month, not twice. - **A) Brian hangs out with his friend once a week:** **Correct** ; _every Sunday_ equals _once a week_. - **B) Julia rarely spends time on the Internet:** Incorrect; 9 hours a day is very frequent. - **C) Sarah does an individual sport on Mondays:** Incorrect; she practices on weekends. - **D) Tom goes to the theatre twice a month:** Incorrect; he goes once a month. ✅ **FINAL ANSWER:** **A) Brian hangs out with his friend once a week.** * * * ⚠ **EXAM INSIGHT / PITFALL:** Pay close attention to negative sentence frames like _“doesn’t ----”_ in dialogues. When the prompt uses negative polarity, choose the behavior the person avoids, rather than their positive traits.
