段落

Liam: Would 3:30 PM work? Or perhaps 4 PM?

What is the primary purpose of this text message exchange?

- D. To provide directions to a venue
正確答案
A. To reschedule a meeting time
解析
📖 文章翻譯 — Liam: 嗨 Sarah,我很抱歉,但今天下午2點的會議我有點時間衝突。 Sarah: 噢,沒關係,Liam。對你來說有沒有比較好的時間? Liam: 下午3點半可以嗎?或也許4點? Sarah: 下午3點半對我來說其實很完美。我先確認一下會議室那時有沒有空。 Liam: 好的,讓我知道!我已經暫時更新了行事曆邀請。 Sarah: 剛才確認過了。會議室B在下午3點半有空。我已經發出更新後的邀請。 Liam: 謝謝妳,Sarah!到時候見。
📝 答案解析 — 這段對話的主要目的是重新安排會議時間。Liam 在開頭就明確表示「我有時間衝突」(conflict with our meeting),並詢問「有沒有比較好的時間」(Is there a better time for you?)。Sarah 後續回應並確認了新的時間「下午3點半」(3:30 PM),並最終「發出更新後的邀請」(sent out the updated invitation),這都圍繞著變更會議時間的目的。
💡 應試技巧 — 當對話中提到「時間衝突」(conflict)或詢問「哪個時間比較好」(better time)時,應直接判斷對話主題與「重新安排時間」(reschedule)相關。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 討論專案提案 — 對話中並未提及任何關於專案內容或提案的討論細節。
X) 確認會議出席者 — 對話主要圍繞時間安排,雙方並未確認誰會參加會議,也未提及出席名單。
X) 提供場地指引 — 對話僅提及會議室(conference room)的可用性,並未提供前往特定地點的任何方向或說明。
