대화 내용과 같은 것 고르기

Hear a 3–4 turn dialogue (Q17–21) and choose the statement that matches it.

Test tips

  1. Preview the 4 options and underline the subject (남자/여자) and key facts; each option usually differs from the dialogue in one detail.
  2. Mark each option true or false as you listen instead of waiting for the end.
  3. Common traps: swapped subject (the woman's action given to the man), changed time (오늘/내일, 처음에는/지금은), changed numbers (a month/a year, twice/every day).
  4. Pay attention to 아니요 and refusals (미안해요, 오늘은 ~): the first plan often changes.
  5. Never pick an option with information you did not hear (e.g. 'doesn't like noodles' when you only heard 'let's go to the noodle place').

Explanation

Strategy: before listening, skim the four options and mark the subject (남자/여자) and the action; while listening, check who does what. He asks whether she bought the bag, and she answers '아니요, 언니가 줬어요' (no, my sister gave it to me). So she received it from her sister: option 4. Option 1 is wrong because she said 아니요. Options 2 and 3 give the sorting and the sister to the man, while they belong to the woman and her sister. Swapping the subject is the most common trap in this type.
