지문
Woman A: Hi Mark, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss the timeline for the 'Nova' project launch. We're getting quite close.
Man: Sure, Sarah. Come on in. Yes, the launch date is set for the first week of next month. We need to finalize the marketing materials by the end of this week.
Woman A: I agree. I've been working on the press release, but I'm a bit worried about the international distribution team. Their feedback on the packaging design was delayed because their manager was handling some urgent personal matters, including his passport renewal process.
Man: Oh, I see. That's unfortunate. Did you manage to get the final approval on the packaging?
Woman A: Thankfully, yes. It arrived this morning. So, the packaging is set. But we still need to coordinate the social media blitz and ensure all online listings are updated.
Man: Okay. Let's schedule a quick meeting for tomorrow afternoon with the distribution team lead. We can iron out any remaining issues and confirm the final asset delivery dates. Can you send out an invite?
Woman A: Absolutely. I'll do that right now. Thanks for your help, Mark.

📖 지문해석 — Woman A: Mark, 잠깐 시간 있으신가요? 'Nova' 프로젝트 출시 일정에 대해 논의하고 싶습니다. 출시일이 꽤 다가왔어요. Man: 물론이죠, Sarah. 들어오세요. 네, 출시일은 다음 달 첫째 주로 잡혀 있습니다. 이번 주 말까지 마케팅 자료를 최종 확정해야 합니다. Woman A: 동의합니다. 보도자료 작업을 하고 있었는데, 국제 배포팀이 좀 걱정됩니다. 포장 디자인에 대한 피드백이 지연된 이유는 매니저가 여권 갱신 절차를 포함한 긴급한 개인적인 용무를 처리하고 있었기 때문입니다. Man: 아, 그렇군요.
📝 정답이유 — 정답은 "The manager was busy with his passport renewal process." 입니다. 여성 화자가 "Their feedback on the packaging design was delayed because their manager was handling some urgent personal matters, including his passport renewal process." 라고 명확하게 말하며, 이 부분이 피드백 지연의 원인임을 직접적으로 설명합니다. 'passport renewal process'가 핵심 단서입니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 3에서는 대화의 흐름을 잘 파악하고, 특히 문제의 의도를 파악하는 것이 중요합니다. A가 'worried' (걱정된다)고 말한 후, 그 이유를 설명하는 부분을 집중해서 들으세요. 원인에 대한 질문은 종종 'because', 'since', 'as'와 같은 접속사 뒤에 나올 확률이 높습니다.
📊 오답분석 — X) They were finalizing the marketing materials. — 이는 남성 화자가 언급한 내용으로, 출시 준비 단계를 설명하지만, 피드백 지연의 이유는 아닙니다. X) They had not received the packaging design yet. — 여성 화자는 피드백이 'delayed' (지연되었다)고 말했을 뿐, 디자인을 아직 받지 못했다는 내용은 언급되지 않았습니다. X) There was a delay in the social media coordination. — 대화에서 소셜 미디어 관련 내용은 전혀 언급되지 않은 정보입니다.

📖 本文の和訳 — Woman A: マークさん、少しお時間ありますか？「Nova」プロジェクトのローンチスケジュールについて話し合いたいのですが。もうすぐですね。 Man: もちろんです、サラ。どうぞ。はい、ローンチ日は来月第1週に設定されています。今週末までにマーケティング資料を確定する必要があります。 Woman A: 同感です。プレスリリースに取り組んでいますが、国際流通チームのことが少し心配です。パッケージデザインに関する彼らのフィードバックが遅れたのは、マネージャーがパスポートの更新手続きを含む、いくつかの緊急の個人的な用事を処理していたためです。 Man: ああ、なるほど。

📊 不正解選択肢の分析 — X) They were finalizing the marketing materials. — これは男性スピーカーが言及した内容であり、ローンチ準備の段階を説明していますが、フィードバック遅延の原因ではありません。 X) They had not received the packaging design yet. — 女性スピーカーはフィードバックが「delayed」（遅延した）と言っただけで、パッケージデザインをまだ受け取っていないとは述べられていません。 X) There was a delay in the social media coordination. — 会話ではソーシャルメディアに関する言及は一切ありません。

📝 Why this answer — The correct answer is "The manager was busy with his passport renewal process." The female speaker explicitly states: "Their feedback on the packaging design was delayed because their manager was handling some urgent personal matters, including his passport renewal process." This directly explains the reason for the delayed feedback. The phrase 'passport renewal process' is the key clue.
💡 Test-day tip — In Part 3, understanding the flow of the conversation and identifying the intent of the question is crucial.

📊 Wrong-option analysis — X) They were finalizing the marketing materials. — This was mentioned by the male speaker regarding project stages but is not the reason for the feedback delay.
