Sure, here is a detailed and step-by-step solution for the listening task:1. First, let"s analyze the given statements and opinions:
1. Speaker 1 claims that their band is the best since [1]
2. Speaker 2 advises caution because [1]
3. Speaker 3 states that the picnic will be arranged because [1]
4. Speaker 4 mentions that the birthday will have a theme because [1]
5. Speaker 5 indicates that the Royal wedding is the cause of [1]
A. it is scheduled for the end of autumn.
B. they have been performing together
2. Now, let"s match these statements and opinions to form true sentences. We need to find the corresponding opinions for statements 1-4 and leave one opinion unused.
- Statement 1: Speaker 1 claims that their band is the best since [1]
We need to find an opinion that completes this sentence. Looking at the given opinions, we can see that opinion B, "they have been performing together," is related to the performance quality of the band. Hence, opinion B matches statement 1.
- Statement 2: Speaker 2 advises caution because [1]
We need to find an opinion that completes this sentence. None of the given opinions directly match the caution mentioned in the statement. Therefore, we can conclude that the unused opinion will correspond to statement 2.
- Statement 3: Speaker 3 states that the picnic will be arranged because [1]
Again, we need to find an opinion that completes this sentence. Opinion A, "it is scheduled for the end of autumn," matches the reason mentioned in the statement, which is the timing of the picnic. Hence, opinion A matches statement 3.
- Statement 4: Speaker 4 mentions that the birthday will have a theme because [1]
We need to find an opinion that completes this sentence. From the remaining opinions, opinion F, "it is an important milestone," is the only one related to a celebration like a birthday. Hence, opinion F matches statement 4.
- Statement 5: Speaker 5 indicates that the Royal wedding is the cause of [1]
Finally, we need to find an opinion that completes this sentence. Opinion C, "great excitement among the people," matches the statement referring to the cause of the Royal wedding. Hence, opinion C matches statement 5.
3. Summarizing the above matches, we have:
1. Statement 1 matches with Opinion B.
2. Statement 2 remains unmatched.
3. Statement 3 matches with Opinion A.
4. Statement 4 matches with Opinion F.
5. Statement 5 matches with Opinion C.
Therefore, the correct matching of the first half of the sentences with the corresponding opinions is as follows:
1. Speaker 1 claims that their band is the best since they have been performing together.
2. Speaker 2 advises caution because this statement remains unmatched.
3. Speaker 3 states that the picnic will be arranged because it is scheduled for the end of autumn.
4. Speaker 4 mentions that the birthday will have a theme because it is an important milestone.
5. Speaker 5 indicates that the Royal wedding is the cause of great excitement among the people.
Please note that the unmatched statement 2 does not match any of the given opinions. However, it is always important to carefully listen to the audio and consider any additional context provided to resolve such discrepancies.
