Dear Team,

I regret to inform you that Project Chimera's Phase 2 rollout will experience an unforeseen delay. The integration of the new server infrastructure has encountered several critical compatibility issues, which our current resources are struggling to resolve within the stipulated timeframe. We are actively working on a revised timeline and will circulate it by end of day tomorrow. Your patience and continued dedication are appreciated.

Best regards,
Elena Petrova
Project Lead

Hi Elena,

Thanks for the update. Could you provide a bit more detail on the 'critical compatibility issues'? Specifically, are these software or hardware related, or a combination? Understanding the root cause would help us anticipate potential hurdles during future deployments. Also, will this delay impact the client presentation scheduled for November 15th?

Thanks,
David Chen
Senior Systems Architect

Hi David,

To clarify, the issues are primarily hardware-software interface conflicts, particularly with the legacy systems we're trying to integrate. Our vendor has been alerted and is dispatching a specialist. Regarding the client presentation, we are assessing the impact, but it's highly probable we'll need to push it back. I will confirm this in the updated timeline. Your points about anticipating future hurdles are well taken – we'll ensure a more thorough pre-integration assessment next time.

Regards,
Elena Petrova

📖 지문 해석 — 모든 팀원에게 알립니다. 프로젝트 키메라의 2단계 출시가 예상치 못한 지연을 겪을 것임을 알리게 되어 유감입니다. 새로운 서버 인프라 통합 과정에서 몇 가지 심각한 호환성 문제가 발생했으며, 현재 보유 자원으로는 정해진 기한 내에 해결하기 어려운 상황입니다. 우리는 수정된 일정을 적극적으로 작업 중이며 내일 업무 종료 시까지 공유할 예정입니다. 여러분의 인내와 지속적인 헌신에 감사드립니다.
📝 정답 이유 — 정답은 "Problems integrating new server infrastructure"입니다. 지문에서 "The integration of the new server infrastructure has encountered several critical compatibility issues"라고 명시적으로 언급하며, 이것이 지연의 직접적인 원인임을 분명히 하고 있습니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 7에서 문제의 원인을 묻는 질문에는 'because', 'due to', 'since'와 같은 이유를 나타내는 접속사나 'encountered', 'resulted in', 'led to'와 같은 원인-결과를 나타내는 동사를 포함한 문장을 주의 깊게 살펴보세요.
