 \u003Cbr>(narrator)  What does the woman mean?  \u003Cbr>In your test book,you read:  \u003Cbr>(A)   Next month isn't a good time for the trip.  \u003Cbr>(B)  She doesn't want to go to Hawaii.  \u003Cbr>(C)  She suggests taking the trip next month.  \u003Cbr>(D)   She's curious about why he doesn't want to go.   |\n| --- |\n\nAnswer(C)is the best answer to the question.Why not next month?is a suggestion that theytake the trip next month.  \n#       STRATEGIES FORTHE LISTENING PARTAQUESTIONS      \n\n1.As you listen to each short conversation,focus on the second line of theconversation.The answer to the question is generally found in the second line.  \n2.Keep in mind that the correct answer is probably a restatement of a key word orridea in the second line of the conversation.Think of possible restatements  \n3.Keep in mind that certain structures and expressions are tested regularly inListening PartA.Listen for these structures and expressions:  \n·structures (passives,negatives,wishes,conditions)  \n·functional expressions(agreement,uncertainty,suggestion,surprise)  \n·idiomatic expressions(two-part verbs,three-part verbs,idiorns)  \n4.Keep in mind that these questions generally progress from easy to difficult.Thismeans that questions I through 5 will be the easiest,and questions 26 through 30 will be thehardest  \n5.Read the answers and choose the best answer to each question.Remember toanswer each question even if you are not sure of the correct response.Never leave anyanswers bl","cbCaieZsbNmsIhbB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieZsbNmsIhbB","pdf",1113653,"English","# The Listening Part A Questions\n## Listening Comprehension\n## General Strategies\n## Strategies for the Listening Part A Questions","[{\"question\":\"What is the structure of the TOEFL Listening Comprehension section?\",\"answer\":\"The section has three parts.
