Questions 29 – 30. Choose a, b or c as the best answer. Q29. Which statement is the speaker most likely to agree with?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The speaker argues that simple, practical adjustments to one’s living space are within any person’s power, so answer (a) is correct.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Locus of control: whether solutions are presented as individual actions or systemic/policy measures. 
- Scope and strength of claims in multiple-choice options: “anyone can” (broad individual agency), “best way” (strong prescriptive claim), and a governmental responsibility (policy-level).
- Typical listening-test signals: examples of small fixes, tips, or encouragement indicate endorsement of individual action; repeated references to policy or building design indicate a systemic focus.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Identify what the speaker repeatedly emphasizes: if the passage centers on concrete tips (lighting, decluttering, noise control, mattress choice), those are actions an individual can make.
- Compare each option to that emphasis:
  - (a) says individuals can change their home environment — matches advice/tips language.
  - (b) claims altering the sleep environment is the best way to enhance sleep — this elevates one approach above all others; unless the speaker made that categorical statement, it’s too strong.
  - (c) assigns responsibility to governments to construct larger buildings — this is a policy-level claim and would only match the speaker if they shifted from personal tips to public policy recommendations.

3) Calculations
- Not applicable.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
The speaker’s tone and examples indicate empowerment and practical steps people can implement themselves. That directly supports (a)’s claim that anyone can change their own home environment; the passage presents doable modifications rather than insisting on a single “best” method or calling for government action.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- (b) is incorrect because it asserts a definitive superiority (“the best way”) that the speaker did not make; the speaker presented options or tips rather than claiming exclusivity. 
- (c) is incorrect because the speaker focused on individual-level changes, not on recommending that governments redesign or build larger housing.

6) Conclusion
Given the speaker’s emphasis on practical, individual actions, option (a) is the best match. This confirms the provided answer: a. Anyone can change their own home environment.
