段落
Woman: Hi Mark, it's Sarah from Accounting. Do you have a moment?
Man: Sure, Sarah. What's up?
Woman: I'm working on the budget for the upcoming office relocation, and I need to finalize the inventory of our current office supply order. Could you tell me if the new printer ink cartridges have arrived yet?
Man: Oh, right. Yes, I saw the delivery yesterday. They are in the storage room, but I haven't logged them in yet. I can do that after this call.
Woman: Great, thanks! Also, do we still have enough binders for the client files? We'll need them for the move.
Man: Let me check the inventory list... It looks like we're running a bit low on the larger size. I'll add them to the next requisition form.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
女: 你好馬克，我是會計部的莎拉。你現在有空嗎？
男: 當然，莎拉。怎麼了？
女: 我正在為即將到來的辦公室搬遷做預算，我需要整理我們目前的辦公用品訂單清單。你能告訴我新的印表機墨水匣到了嗎？
男: 哦，對。是的，我昨天看到送貨了。它們在儲藏室，但我還沒登記。我掛完這通電話後可以去處理。
女: 太好了，謝謝！另外，我們的客戶文件還有足夠的活頁夾嗎？搬家時我們會需要它們。
男: 讓我想一下庫存清單
Options: ["They are too small for the files.","The quantity is insufficient.","They were delivered to the wrong office.","They are out of stock."]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「數量不足」。對話中的女士問：「我們還有足夠的活頁夾（binders）嗎？我們搬家時會需要它們。」接著男士回答：「讓我想一下庫存清單」。這個回應暗示他需要確認數量，因為他不能確定是否有足夠的存貨，這直接指向「數量不足」的問題。
💡 應試技巧 — 當聽到關於物品「是否足夠」的問句時，注意對話者是否需要「檢查庫存」或「確認數量」，這通常指向數量上的問題，而非物品本身有損壞或位置錯誤。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) They are too small for the files. — 文章中完全沒有提到活頁夾的大小問題。
X) They were delivered to the wrong office. — 對話中提到貨物已經送達，並在儲藏室，並未提及送錯地點。
X) They are out of stock. — 雖然聽起來很接近，但「out of stock」（缺貨）是指完全沒有存貨，而對話暗示的是「可能不夠」，需要確認數量，這比完全缺貨更精確。
