The answer is c. Jenny's reaction to potholing is sarcastic, as shown by her comment '(sarcastically) Sounds lovely!'

I don't like the sound of that.' support that she finds the idea unpleasant.

The answer is a. Milo mentions that caves can vary hugely in size and shape, and that 'some caves in the UK have chambers large enough to fit a cathedral, whilst in other places cavers may need to crawl on their bellies.' This confirms that UK caves can be very different sizes. Option (B) is incorrect because the script clearly states variation in size and shape, and (C) 'are like religious places' is not accurate in context.

The answer is c. Milo says, 'Some caves have formations called stalactites and stalagmites. They are formed over a long period of time from calcium carbonate and other minerals.' This shows that they are found in some caves. He further explains that stalactites hang from the ceiling and stalagmites grow up from the floor, but option (C) best matches the general question.

The answer is b. Jenny agrees to listen to Milo's presentation after he asks her to, saying, 'Fine. I'll listen. Go on then.' This indicates she is doing it mainly to help him practice and not because she is personally interested (A) or specifically wants to know what is inside a cave (C).

M: Well, if you don't mind listening, it would be good practice for me. I'll listen to yours too, when you find a topic, if you like. J: Fine. I'll listen. Go on then.
