TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman: Hi Mark, do you have a moment? I wanted to go over a few things for the holiday party.
Man: Sure, Sarah. What's on your mind?
Woman: Well, firstly, I need to confirm the venue booking. Did you hear back from 'The Grand Ballroom' yesterday?
Man: Yes, I did. They confirmed our reservation for the 15th, but they need final numbers by this Friday. Speaking of numbers, have you looked at the guest list we're sending out via that new digital marketing tool? I'm curious about the engagement rate.
Woman: Not yet, but I plan to check it this afternoon. I'll finalize the numbers based on the RSVPs. We also need to decide on the catering menu. I was thinking of a buffet style.
Man: A buffet sounds good, less formal. Let's aim for variety. I'll send you a link to their menu options. Oh, and we should probably book the DJ soon.
Woman: Absolutely. I'll look into that right after I check the RSVPs. Thanks, Mark!

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 女：嗨，Mark，你方便一下嗎？我想一起討論一些關於節日派對的事情。
男：當然，Sarah。有什麼事嗎？
女：嗯，首先，我需要確認場地的預訂。你昨天有收到「The Grand Ballroom」的回覆嗎？
男：有，我收到了。他們確認了我們15號的預訂，但他們需要在這週五前提供最終人數。說到人數，你有看過我們透過那個新的數位行銷工具寄送的賓客名單嗎？我對參與率很好奇。
女：還沒，但我計劃今天下午要來查看。我會根據 RSVP 來確定最終人數。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「查看賓客名單的參與率」。對話中，Sarah 明確表示：「Not yet, but I plan to check it this afternoon.」（還沒，但我計劃今天下午要來查看。）這裡的 "it" 指的就是 Mark 前面提到的「賓客名單的參與率」（engagement rate）。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到關於「下午」的計劃時，務必注意接下來的內容，因為���通常是直接的考點。注意代名詞 "it" 指代的對象。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 預訂場地 — 場地預訂已經在對話中得到確認，不是 Sarah 下午的計劃。X) 預訂 DJ — 對話中沒有提及 DJ。X) 確定餐飲菜單 — Sarah 提到會根據 RSVP 確定「最終人數」，但沒有說會確定菜單。
