Sometimes several of the answers seem possible but if the students read the passage again and pay attention to the details, they will find that there is always only one correct response - often the other responses could be assumed but are not stated explicitly in the text. The answers are found in order in the text.

Candidate B, which of these things would you prefer to do? (why?) (30 seconds)

10mins - Discuss: Phrasal verbs with 'around' and 'about' -
'Around' and 'About' keep a lot of their basic meaning when used in phrasal verbs. They often indicate activities and situations taking place in various locations, often without a clear direction or order.
There were books lying around everywhere in the room.
The children were running about in the garden.
Rumours have been flying around the staffroom lately that you're leaving.
The worksheets are floating about somewhere in this classroom.
Stop clowning around!
We only need to score two more goals to** turn **this match around!
Note: In most cases, around and about can be used interchangeably inside phrasal verbs. In these cases, they cannot: ask around (ask multiple people for information), run around (to be very busy doing different things), work around (organise activities to ensure we can do what we want) skirt around (avoid)
Have students write a few sentences using phrasal verbs that contain 'around' and 'about'.
