Hi Tom and Lisa,
I am writing to inform you that Project Alpha will be delayed. We need more time to complete the testing phase. The original deadline was October 27, but we now expect to finish by November 3. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best regards,

Hi Tom,
No, the client presentation on November 6 should still be fine. We will make sure all necessary materials are ready by then. The delay only impacts the internal completion date.
Thanks,
Maria Chen

📖 지문해석 — 이메일은 Tom과 Lisa에게 Project Alpha의 지연을 알리는 내용입니다. 원래 마감일은 10월 27일이었으나, 테스트 단계를 완료하는 데 더 많은 시간이 필요하여 새로운 완료 예정일은 11월 3일입니다.
📝 정답이유 — 이메일 본문에서 "The original deadline was October 27, but we now expect to finish by November 3"라고 명시적으로 언급되어 있습니다. 따라서 새로운 완료 예상일은 11월 3일입니다.
💡 실전팁 — 날짜 관련 질문에는 'by + 날짜', 'original deadline', 'new deadline', 'expect to finish by'와 같은 명확한 시간 표현을 놓치지 말고 찾으십시오.
📊 오답분석 — X) October 23 - 이것은 이메일 송신 날짜이며, 완료 예정일이 아닙니다. X) October 27 - 이것은 원래 마감일이었으나, 지연으로 인해 변경되었습니다. X) November 6 - 지문에는 이 날짜와 관련된 정보가 없습니다.
