📝 Transcription M: Hi, Laura. About the farewell for Simon next Friday — have we booked the conference room yet? W: Not yet. I checked and Room B is free after 4 p.m., but catering said they can't deliver before 5. M: We need the party to start at 4:30 so people can come straight after work. Could the catering bring finger food by 5 and the cake at 4:45? W: I can call them now and ask for the cake at 4:45, and I'll reserve Room B for 4:15 so we can set up. M: Morning, Sophie. Did you see the supermarket's two-for-one on cereal this week? W: Yes, I went yesterday but they were out of the honey oat variety; the shelf tag said 'restock Thursday'. M: That's annoying. Do you want me to check the other branch on Elm Street? They said they'd have deliveries early in the morning. W: Please do. If they have it, pick up two boxes and I'll reimburse you. M: Hi, Emma. The outdoor site visit tomorrow has been postponed because the forecast says heavy rain and strong winds. W: Oh no — I had arranged for the survey team to meet at 9 a.m. Will we reschedule? M: Yes, we're moving it to Thursday at 10, and I asked the transport team to send vans instead of bikes. W: That works. I'll inform the team and tell them to bring waterproof boots. ───────────────────────────── Question 1 What problem about catering is mentioned? (A) They will bring the cake first.
