Dear Team,

I'm writing to inform you that the launch of the new client management software will be delayed from its originally scheduled date of November 15th to December 1st. This decision was made after discussions with the development lead, Sarah Jenkins, regarding unexpected technical challenges encountered during the final testing phase. We are committed to delivering a robust and error-free product, and this additional time is crucial for ensuring its quality.

I understand this news may be disappointing, but I believe it's in the best interest of our clients and our company. Sarah will provide a more detailed report on the technical issues by end of day tomorrow. In the meantime, please adjust your individual timelines and communicate any potential impact on related tasks to your respective managers. We will schedule a team meeting later this week to discuss revised project milestones and address any concerns you may have.

Thank you for your understanding and continued hard work.

Best regards,
Michael Harrison
Project Manager

Hi Michael,

Thanks for informing the team. I've already started compiling the detailed report on the backend integration issues we've been facing. It's more complex than initially anticipated, particularly with the legacy system compatibility. I expect to have the full report ready for your review by tomorrow afternoon, well within your deadline.

I agree that prioritizing quality over a rushed launch is the right approach. I'll also start drafting some alternative strategies for mitigating future integration risks. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me for the team meeting.

Regards,
Sarah Jenkins
Development Lead

Michael,

Thank you for the update. While a delay is never ideal, I appreciate the transparency and the focus on product quality. My team has already begun adjusting our marketing campaign schedule, and we can easily shift the launch communications to align with the new December 1st date. We'll also take this extra time to refine our user training materials.

I look forward to the team meeting to discuss the revised plan. Please keep us informed about the schedule for that.

Best,
Emily Chen
Marketing Manager

  2. B. Revise the marketing schedule and user training ✓
  3. C. Conduct additional technical testing
  4. D. Hire more marketing personnel

正解

B. Revise the marketing schedule and user training

解説

📖 本文の和訳
このメールは、TechSolutionsの新しいクライアント管理ソフトウェアのローンチが、当初予定されていた11月15日から12月1日に延期されることを通知しています。これは、最終テスト段階で予期せぬ技術的問題が発生したことに関する開発リーダーとの協議の後、決定されました。

📝 正解理由
正解は「Revise the marketing schedule and user training」です。本文中で、Delfoiチームはソフトウェアローンチの延期に対応するため、「マーケティングスケジュールとユーザー研修の見直しと調整を行う」と述べています。これは選択肢1と直接一致する内容です。

💡 実践的アドバイス
Part 7で解答を見つける際には、質問で問われている「行動」または「計画」に関連する名詞句（action, plan, step, revise, adjust など）を探し、本文中で一致する箇所を確認してください。

📊 不正解選択肢分析
X) Develop new software features — 本文ではローンチ延期の原因が技術的問題であったとされていますが、それらを解決するために新機能が開発されるとは述べられていません。
X) Conduct additional technical testing — 技術的問題が発生したことは述べられていますが、追加テストを「実施する」とは明示されていません。本文は既存テスト中の問題点を指摘するにとどまっています。
X) Hire more marketing personnel — マーケティング担当者の追加採用計画については、本文のどこにも言及されておらず、無関係な内容です。
