Subject: RE: Project Alpha Update - URGENT

Hi Sarah,

I'm writing to provide an urgent update regarding Project Alpha. We've encountered a significant technical glitch with the new software integration that is proving more complex to resolve than initially anticipated. Our engineering team has been working around the clock, but it appears we won't be able to meet the original launch deadline of November 15th.

After a thorough assessment, we estimate that the earliest we can realistically aim for completion is December 5th. This will allow our team sufficient time to fully debug the system and conduct comprehensive testing to ensure stability. I understand this news is disappointing, but I believe it's crucial to prioritize quality and avoid future disruptions.

Please let me know your thoughts on this revised timeline and how it might impact the marketing and client communication strategies. I'm available for a call anytime today to discuss further.

Best regards,
David Chen
Project Manager, TechSolutions

Hi David,

Thank you for the prompt update, difficult as it is to hear. I appreciate your team's dedication to resolving this. A December 5th launch is certainly later than we hoped, and it will require us to adjust our planned outreach considerably. The marketing campaign was designed around a mid-November release, so we'll need to re-evaluate our promotional materials and potentially reschedule some key partnership announcements.

I'm particularly concerned about how this delay will be communicated to our top-tier clients. We promised them advanced access, and this change could affect their perception of our reliability. Leo and I will begin drafting a communication plan immediately. Could you provide a brief, client-friendly summary of the technical issue that we can include? It doesn't need to be overly detailed, just enough to explain the necessity of the postponement without alarming them.

Let's definitely connect later today. I'll send you an invite for a brief video conference at 3 PM PST.

Thanks,
Sarah Miller
Head of Marketing, TechSolutions

Sarah,

Acknowledged. I'll work with you on the communication plan. David, please send over that summary as soon as you can. It's critical that our messaging is clear and consistent. I'll also check with the sales team to see how current client expectations might be managed proactively.

Thanks,

Câu hỏi

When was Project Alpha originally scheduled to be completed?

Lựa chọn

  1. A. October 26th
  2. B. November 15th ✓
  3. C. December 5th
  4. D. As soon as possible

Đáp án

B. November 15th

Giải thích

📖 Dịch đoạn văn
Email này từ David Chen gửi Sarah Miller là bản cập nhật về Dự án Alpha, thông báo rằng có một trục trặc kỹ thuật phức tạp hơn dự kiến với việc tích hợp phần mềm mới, khiến họ không thể đáp ứng thời hạn ra mắt ban đầu là ngày 15 tháng 11.

📝 Lý do chọn đáp án
Đáp án đúng là "November 15th". Trong đoạn văn, David Chen nêu rõ: "it appears we won't be able to meet the original launch deadline of November 15th." Từ này xác định rõ ràng thời hạn ra mắt ban đầu.

💡 Mẹo làm bài thi
Đối với các câu hỏi về "thời gian hoàn thành ban đầu" hoặc "hạn chót" trong Phần 7, hãy chú ý các từ khóa như 'original', 'scheduled', 'deadline' trong câu hỏi và quét văn bản để tìm ngày hoặc khoảng thời gian cụ thể trong quá khứ được đề cập liên quan đến các mốc thời gian này.

📊 Phân tích các lựa chọn sai
X) October 26th — Đây là ngày email được gửi, không phải là thời hạn hoàn thành được hỏi.
X) December 5th — Ngày này không được đề cập trong đoạn văn và không có thông tin nào cho thấy đây là thời hạn hoàn thành mới.
X) As soon as possible — Đây là một cụm từ rất mơ hồ, không chỉ định một thời hạn cụ thể. Đoạn văn nêu rõ một thời hạn ban đầu cụ thể.
