Tip 1 for “Dialogue details” questions?

Use the waiting time to read the question and options: decide whose words matter (남자 or 여자) and what kind of information (time, number, place, action).

Tip 2 for “Dialogue details” questions?

For place questions, combine the keywords around the main action; don't pick by a single noun (hearing '비행기' doesn't mean 공항).

Tip 3 for “Dialogue details” questions?

For 'what will they do next', listen to the last two lines and endings like -(으)ㄹ게요, -(으)ㄹ 거예요, -아/어 주세요, and check WHICH speaker will do it.

Tip 4 for “Dialogue details” questions?

Common traps: reversed comparisons (이번 달이 지난달보다), swapped roles, an original plan that changed (원래, 바뀌었어요, A가 아니라 B), and offers that are turned down (사료는 제가 줄게요).

Explanation

For a place question, collect the keywords and combine them. '소포를 … 보내고 싶어요' (I want to send a parcel), asking what's inside and when it arrives, '배로 / 비행기로 보내면' (by sea / by air) → a post office, option 3. 'Airport' (4) is a trap triggered by '비행기', but the plane is only the shipping method. 'Clothes shop' (2) is a trap from '옷' — the clothes are inside the parcel. The bank (1) is unrelated. Tip: the place is decided by the main ACTION (sending a parcel), not by single nouns.
