Reading Comprehension: A Typical Day of a Festival Organizer

:brain: STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Part 1: Fill in the Gaps

  • Gap 1 (Morning routine after 7 am):

    • Context: The text states, “I get up at 7 am… We check the festival area to make sure it is safe and secure.” The plural pronoun “We” implies a team is introduced right before this action.
    • Matching Sentence: F — “First thing I do is to have a meeting with the security guys.”

  • Gap 2 (Between 8 am campsite check and ticket office):

    • Context: Jeff visits the campsite at 8 am, and the next sentence begins with “After breakfast, I go straight to the ticket office…” A sentence mentioning breakfast at a logical morning time is required here.
    • Matching Sentence: A — “Then, I go to breakfast at 9 am.”

  • Gap 3 (Afternoon activities):

    • Context: The text states, “During the afternoon, I generally walk around and try to mix with people.” Talking to attendees directly follows this idea.
    • Matching Sentence: B — “I ask them if they’re enjoying the festival.”

  • Gap 4 (Nighttime around the campfire):

    • Context: After 11 pm, they “light the campfire.” An activity related to chilling by a fire fits naturally.
    • Matching Sentence: D — “People can sit, chill and play the guitar.”

(Extra sentences: C and E are not used.)

Part 2: Sentence Completion Analysis

  • 1. Jeff warns some campers because they cause problems ________.

    • Text Evidence: “warn the problematic campers from time to time.”
    • The idiom “from time to time” is synonymous with “sometimes”.
    • Correct Choice: a) sometimes

  • 2. When the last band finishes, Jeff and his team secure the site ________.

    • Text Evidence: “…and we always get security around the main stage.”
    • The adverb “always” means happening on every occasion, or “all the time”.
    • Correct Choice: a) all the time

  • 3. Jeff and the security guys empty the festival area at 2 am ________.

    • Text Evidence: “Mostly at 2 am, we wrap up everything and clear everyone off-site.”
    • The adverb “mostly” is equivalent in meaning to “most of the time”.
    • Correct Choice: b) most of the time
