Reading a Rental Ad with Conditions

The correct option is the non-smoker without pets. Two constraints do the work: „kizárólag nemdohányzóknak” (only for non-smokers) eliminates the smoker, and „kisállat nem hozható” (no pets may be brought) eliminates the person with a dog. The word „kizárólag” is a strong exclusive marker - it means 'exclusively/only', so any option violating it is impossible. A third constraint, „szabad júliustól” (available from July), eliminates the family wanting it from June. The reasoning is not recall of vocabulary alone: the student must cross-check each option against every stated condition and reject on the first violation. This is the core skill of the reading domain - matching multiple constraints, not translating single words.

180 000 Ft is only the monthly rent („bérleti díj … /hó”). The text also states „kaució: két havi díj” - a deposit of two months' rent. So the upfront payment is rent for the first month plus deposit: 180 000 + (2 × 180 000) = 540 000 Ft, before „rezsi” (utilities), which are additional and unspecified. The error is stopping at the first number encountered. In reading tasks with figures, the student should list every monetary term (bérleti díj, rezsi, kaució) and note whether each is included or extra. Utilities are marked „+ rezsi”, meaning on top of the rent, so they cannot be folded into a fixed total. Showing the arithmetic explicitly prevents silent misreading.

The option 'any time on weekdays' is wrong because the ad restricts contact to „17 és 19 óra között” - between 5 and 7 p.m. - with no statement that this applies only to weekdays or that other times are acceptable. „Kizárólag” elsewhere in the ad signals the advertiser's restrictive style, reinforcing that the stated window is a real limit, not a suggestion. The correct answer must fall inside 17:00–19:00. The reasoning skill is distinguishing a stated condition from an assumption the student imports (e.g. 'surely you can call anytime during the day'). Reading tasks test whether the student treats the text as the sole authority and refuses to add plausible but unstated information.
