Perfect. Room 3B it is. Regarding the elevator, the facilities team said the notice should go out by Friday. I'll forward it to you once it's released.

嗨 Alex。第三季預測,好的。週二早上 9 點如何?我那天晚點有個牙醫預約。

週二早上 9 點對我來說可行。我們可以預訂 3B 會議室嗎?另外,我想快速談談即將進行的電梯維護關閉事宜——關於正式通知期的有什麼更新嗎?

📝 答案解析 — Sarah 偏好週二早上 9 點的會議時間,因為她在訊息中明確提到「我那天晚點有個牙醫預約」。這表示她必須確保會議在牙醫預約之前完成,因此這個較早的時段對她來說是較優的選擇。
💡 應試技巧 — 當問題詢問某人為何偏好特定時間或選項時,請密切注意訊息內容中是否有提及「先前安排」、「其他行程」或「限制」等關鍵字,這些通常是解釋偏好的原因。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 它是這週唯一有空的時間 — Sarah 並沒有說這週只有這一個時段有空。
X) Alex 先提出的 — Alex 詢問了「下週初」,Sarah 主動提出了一個具體的時間。
X) 她迫切需要檢閱 Q3 預測 — 雖然她同意檢閱預測,但文中並未顯示出「迫切」的需求,主要原因在於她的個人行程安排。
