The wrong options are usually right-sounding. They typically contain real details from the recording but distort the overall point, or they are true but incomplete. Judge the summary as a whole, not on whether you recognise phrases in it.
Strategy
- Note the main argument as you listen, not the details — the details are the trap.
- Eliminate: cross off any summary containing something the speaker did not say.
- Beware the option that repeats the most words from the audio. Familiarity is not accuracy.
