<!-- (audio) James: It's hard to say. We could have a smooth deployment, but there's always a chance that a few bugs might pop up. It depends on how well we've tested everything. --> <!-- SPEAKING -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question.

--questions--

--text--

Sophie understands what James is saying. What would she say?

--answers--

That's confusing.

--audio-id--

EN47bd5a2f

--feedback--

She understands, so she wouldn't express confusion.


That makes sense.

--audio-id--

EN343d20e2

--video-solution--

2

--explanation--

That makes sense is used when you understand something and think it is logical. For example:

  • Person 1: If we want to speed up development, we need more people on the team.

  • Person 2: That makes sense. More people will help us finish the project faster. - This person agrees because adding more team members can increase productivity.
