解析
[KO] 📖 지문해석 — 고객님 여러분, 안녕하세요. 저희 Main Street 지점에 관한 중요한 안내 말씀입니다. 신중한 고려와 전략적 검토 끝에, 저희는 이 지점을 3월 31일부로 영구적으로 폐쇄하기로 어려운 결정을 내렸습니다. 이러한 소식이 실망스러울 수 있다는 점을 이해하며, 오랜 기간 저희를 이용해 주신 고객님들께 진심으로 감사드립니다. 모든 판매는 이제 최종입니다. 고객님의 성원에 특별한 감사 표시로, 오늘부터 모든 남은 상품에 대해 최대 70% 할인된 가격으로 그랜드 클로징 세일을 시작합니다. 3월 31일 이전에 저희 지점을 방문하시어 이 놀라운 기회를 활용하시기 바랍니다.
[KO] 📝 정답이유 — 정답은 'On March 31st.'입니다. 지문에서 "temporarily close this location permanently, effective March 31st."라고 명확하게 언급하고 있습니다. 'effective March 31st'는 3월 31일부터 효력이 발생한다는 뜻으로, 이 날짜가 폐쇄일임을 나타냅니다.
[KO] 💡 실전팁 — Part 4에서는 특히 발표나 공지 사항에서 날짜나 시간을 묻는 문제가 자주 출제됩니다. 'effective', 'as of', 'from', 'until'과 같은 시간 관련 전치사나 부사구에 집중하여 핵심 날짜나 시점을 파악하는 연습을 하세요.
[KO] 📊 오답분석 — X) At the end of next week. — 지문에 다음 주 말에 대한 언급이 없으며, 폐쇄일은 3월 31일이라고 명시되어 있습니다. X) Immediately following today's announcement. — 세일이 오늘 시작한다고는 했지만, 지점 폐쇄는 3월 31일이라고 정확히 고지했습니다. X) After the cybersecurity training concludes. — 사이버 보안 교육에 대한 언급은 전혀 없으며, 이는 관련 없는 정보입니다.

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位尊貴的顧客，早安。此為關於我們曼街分店的重要公告。在經過審慎考慮與策略檢視後，我們做出了一個艱難的決定，將於三月三十一日正式永久關閉此營業據點。我們明白這個消息或許令人失望，並衷心感謝各位顧客多年來的惠顧。所有銷售現已為最終決定。為了特別感謝您的忠誠，我們將於今日開始推出盛大歇業拍賣，所有剩餘商品最高可享七折優惠。我們鼓勵您在三月三十一日前前來光顧，以把握這些難得的機會。
Options: ["在下週末結束時。", "在三月三十一日。", "在今日公告之後立即。", "網路安全培訓結束後。"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「在三月三十一日」。文章明確提到「將於三月三十一日正式永久關閉此營業據點」(effective March 31st)。這個時間點是關閉的「生效日」。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽/讀到明確的日期或時間點關鍵字時，直接尋找與該日期/時間相對應的選項，通常可以直接鎖定答案。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 在下週末結束時 — 文章未提及任何與「下週末」相關的關閉時間。X) 在今日公告之後立即 — 文章提到「今日」開始歇業拍賣，但關閉日期是明確的「三月三十一日」，而非立即。X) 網路安全培訓結束後 — 文章未提及任何與「網路安全培訓」相關的事件或時間。

[EN] 📖 Passage translation — Good morning, valued customers. This is an important announcement regarding our Main Street branch. After careful consideration and strategic review, we have made the difficult decision to close this location permanently, effective March 31st. We understand this news may be disappointing, and we sincerely appreciate your patronage over the years. All sales are now final. As a special thank you for your loyalty, we're launching our grand closing sale today, with discounts up to 70% on all remaining merchandise. We encourage you to visit us before March 31st to take advantage of these incredible deals.
[EN] 📝 Why this answer — The correct answer is "On March 31st." The passage explicitly states "...close this location permanently, effective March 31st." The phrase "effective March 31st" clearly indicates that this date is when the closure will officially take place.
[EN] 💡 Test-day tip — In Part 4, especially during announcements or notifications, listen for time-related keywords like "effective," "as of," "from," or "until." These often signal the exact date or time that the question is probing.
[EN] 📊 Wrong-option analysis — X) At the end of next week. — There is no mention of "next week" in the passage; the closure date is specifically given as March 31st. X) Immediately following today's announcement. — While the sale starts today, the passage clearly states the branch closure is effective March 31st, not immediately. X) After the cybersecurity training concludes. — There is no mention of cybersecurity training in the passage; this is irrelevant information designed to distract.
