Question 1Listening

You hear a coworker ask: "Did you send the invoice to Mr. Chen?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. The envelope is on the desk.
  2. No, he lives in Taipei.
  3. Around ten dollars.
  4. Yes, I sent it this morning. Correct answer.

Explanation

Yes/no questions in Part 2 are answered by confirming or denying the action, usually with a supporting detail. "Did you send...?" is answered directly by "Yes, I sent it this morning." The other options would answer questions about location, price, or where an object is.

Question 2Listening

You hear: "Where did you put the shipment of brochures?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. In the storage room downstairs. Correct answer.
  2. About two hundred.
  3. Next Tuesday.
  4. Yes, I did.

Explanation

A "Where" question asks for a location, so the reply must name a place. "In the storage room downstairs" supplies that place. The distractors answer how many, a yes/no question, and when.

Question 3Listening

You hear: "Would you like me to book the conference room for Thursday?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. No, I haven't seen it.
  2. That would be great, thanks. Correct answer.
  3. It's a large room.
  4. On Thursday morning.

Explanation

"Would you like me to..." is an offer, so the natural reply accepts or declines the help. "That would be great, thanks" accepts it politely. The distractors respond as though the question were about seeing something, room size, or a time.

Question 4Listening

You hear: "When does the training session start?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Yes, it was helpful.
  2. At nine o'clock sharp. Correct answer.
  3. In the main hall.
  4. About the new software.

Explanation

A "When" question calls for a time or date, and "At nine o'clock sharp" provides exactly that. The other options answer where, what topic, and a yes/no question.

Question 5Listening

You hear: "Why was the meeting moved to Friday?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Because the client isn't available until then. Correct answer.
  2. No, it's already Friday.
  3. For about an hour.
  4. In the small conference room.

Explanation

A "Why" question asks for a reason, and a because-clause supplies one. "Because the client isn't available until then" explains the change. The others answer where, treat the question as yes/no, or answer how long.

Question 6Listening

You hear: "Could you forward me the sales figures?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. He's in sales.
  2. No, the fax machine is broken.
  3. Sure, I'll send them right after lunch. Correct answer.
  4. Yes, the figures were low.

Explanation

A polite request with "Could you..." is answered by agreeing to do the task, often with a time. "Sure, I'll send them right after lunch" does exactly that. The distractors comment on the numbers, misidentify the topic, or respond to a different equipment problem.

Question 7Listening

You hear: "Who's in charge of ordering office supplies?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Every other week.
  2. From the supplier.
  3. It's on the third shelf.
  4. Ms. Alvarez usually handles that. Correct answer.

Explanation

A "Who" question asks for a person, and "Ms. Alvarez usually handles that" names one. The other options answer from whom, how often, and where.

Question 8Listening

You hear: "Should we take a taxi or the subway to the airport?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. I flew there last year.
  2. The subway is faster at this hour. Correct answer.
  3. No, it's not far.
  4. The tickets are expensive.

Explanation

An either/or question expects the listener to choose one of the two options given. Recommending the subway makes that choice. The distractors deny the question, talk about a past flight, or comment on cost without selecting an option.

Question 9Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: Hi, Julie. I'm calling about the marketing workshop next week. Is there still room? Woman: We had two spots left, but both filled up this morning. I can put you on the waiting list, though. What does the woman mean?

  1. She needs the man's contact information.
  2. The workshop has been cancelled.
  3. The man should sign up for a different workshop.
  4. The man may still attend if a place opens up. Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman says the workshop is full but offers a waiting list, which is a way for the man to attend if someone drops out. That is the implied meaning of her offer. The other options add information she never gives.

Question 10Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: I noticed the shipment from Kent Supplies arrived with three damaged boxes. Man: I'll contact their customer service and ask for replacements at no charge. Could you photograph the damaged items for me first? What does the man ask the woman to do?

  1. Order additional boxes.
  2. Return the boxes to Kent Supplies.
  3. Take pictures of the damaged goods. Correct answer.
  4. Call the supplier herself.

Explanation

The man assigns himself the call to customer service and assigns the woman the task of photographing the damaged items. Questions about who does what are answered by tracking the assignment of actions in the conversation.

Question 11Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: Are we still on for the client dinner at seven? Woman: Actually, Mr. Park's flight was delayed, so we've pushed it back to eight-thirty. What does the woman imply?

  1. Mr. Park will not attend the dinner.
  2. The dinner has been cancelled.
  3. The restaurant needs a new reservation.
  4. The dinner will begin later than planned. Correct answer.

Explanation

"Pushed it back to eight-thirty" means the starting time has moved later. Recognizing phrasal verbs for rescheduling is the key here. Nothing in the exchange suggests cancellation, absence, or a problem with the booking.

Question 12Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: Excuse me, I'm looking for the tax documents for the second quarter. Are they in the filing cabinet? Man: Those are all in the archive room now - anything older than six months gets moved down there. Where should the woman go?

  1. To the manager's office
  2. To the front desk
  3. To the archive room Correct answer.
  4. To the filing cabinet

Explanation

The man corrects the woman's assumption and states that the documents have been moved to the archive room. Answers about location come from the place named as the current one, not the one the questioner guessed.

Question 13Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: The client wants the proposal by Friday, but I'm still waiting on the cost estimates from finance. Woman: I'll follow up with them this afternoon. You focus on finishing the timeline section. What will the woman most likely do next?

  1. Send the proposal on Friday
  2. Write the timeline section
  3. Contact the finance department Correct answer.
  4. Meet with the client

Explanation

"I'll follow up with them" refers back to the finance department the man just mentioned, so that is her next action. Notice that she reassigns the writing task to the man, which rules out the first option.

Question 14Listening

You hear this announcement: Good morning, everyone. The West Garage will be closed for repainting from Monday through Wednesday next week. Employees who normally park there should use the East Lot, which is about a five-minute walk from the main entrance. Shuttle service will run every fifteen minutes during those days. What are employees asked to do?

  1. Buy a new parking permit.
  2. Use the East Lot next week. Correct answer.
  3. Arrive at the office earlier.
  4. Work from home for three days.

Explanation

The announcement states the garage is closed and directs affected employees to the East Lot. In talks, the request is usually expressed with "should" or an imperative, so listen for that instruction rather than for supporting details.

Question 15Listening

You hear this talk: Welcome to the Riverside Hotel. Before you go to your rooms, I'd like to review a few details. Breakfast is served in the Garden Room from six-thirty to ten. The fitness center is on the lower level and is open around the clock. If you need anything at all, dial zero from your room phone. What is the purpose of the talk?

  1. To introduce a new staff member
  2. To apologize for a service delay
  3. To describe hotel services to guests Correct answer.
  4. To sell hotel memberships

Explanation

The speaker welcomes guests and gives practical information about meals, the fitness center, and the front desk line. Purpose questions are answered by summarizing what the details have in common rather than by picking one detail.

Question 16Listening

You hear this announcement: Due to the weather forecast, tomorrow's outdoor product demonstration has been moved indoors to Hall B. The session will begin at the same time, ten a.m., and attendees should use the north entrance, since the main doors will be locked in the morning. What has changed about the demonstration?

  1. The starting time
  2. The location Correct answer.
  3. The topic
  4. The presenter

Explanation

The announcement explicitly keeps the ten a.m. start and says the same time will apply, while the venue moves from outdoors to Hall B. Tracking which details are confirmed as unchanged is the way to isolate the one that did change.

Question 17Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: I've tried calling the number on the invoice three times, and nobody answers. Man: Their office may have closed early today. Why don't you send an email instead and copy me on it? What does the man suggest?

  1. Finding a different supplier
  2. Calling back tomorrow morning
  3. Visiting the company in person
  4. Emailing the company Correct answer.

Explanation

"Why don't you..." is a suggestion, and the suggestion here is to send an email while copying the man. The other options describe actions the man does not propose.

Question 18Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: How many people signed up for the Thursday workshop? Woman: Twenty-five registered, but five have already cancelled, so we're expecting twenty. How many people does the woman expect to attend?

  1. Five
  2. Twenty-five
  3. Twenty Correct answer.
  4. Thirty

Explanation

The woman gives a starting figure and then subtracts the cancellations, ending with the number she expects. In number questions, the final figure stated, or the one introduced by the woman's expectation, is the answer.

Question 19Listening

You hear this talk: Thank you all for attending the quarterly staff meeting. As you know, our office is switching to a new expense reporting system next month. Training will be held online, and department managers are responsible for making sure every team member completes it by the twenty-eighth. Who must make sure employees finish the training?

  1. The software vendor
  2. Department managers Correct answer.
  3. The speaker
  4. The accounting office

Explanation

The talk directly states that department managers are responsible for completion. Responsibility questions are answered by the phrase "responsible for" or an equivalent, not by whoever is merely mentioned nearby.

Question 20Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: I heard you're moving to the Chicago branch. Man: That was the plan, but the company decided to keep me here for another year. What does the man mean?

  1. He was promoted to manager.
  2. He plans to leave the company.
  3. He will not be relocating after all. Correct answer.
  4. He has already moved to Chicago.

Explanation

"That was the plan, but..." signals that the earlier plan has been reversed, so the move will not happen now. Listening for contrast markers such as "but" shows which information is current.

Question 21Listening

You hear this talk: I know many of you were hoping to hear about the new bonus structure today. Unfortunately, the finance committee hasn't finalized the figures yet, so I'll hold off on that part until next month's meeting. What I can tell you is that the overall budget for the program is larger than last year's. What does the speaker imply about the bonus structure?

  1. The details are not yet available. Correct answer.
  2. It was announced last month.
  3. It applies only to managers.
  4. It has been reduced from last year.

Explanation

The speaker postpones the topic because the figures are not final, which implies the details cannot be shared yet. Noting the reason given for postponing an item is the way to infer what is still unknown.

Question 22Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: Did you get a chance to look over my draft proposal? Woman: I did. The research is solid, but I'd trim the background section - the committee already knows most of that, and we only have fifteen minutes. What does the woman suggest about the proposal?

  1. The background section should be shortened. Correct answer.
  2. The committee should receive it earlier.
  3. The research needs additional sources.
  4. The presentation should be divided in two.

Explanation

The woman praises the research and then recommends trimming, or cutting back, the background section, giving the reason of limited time. The praise isolates the criticism to one part of the document.

Question 23Listening

You hear this talk: If you're joining the factory tour this afternoon, please note that closed-toe shoes are required. We have a limited number of safety shoes at the front desk, but they go quickly, so I'd recommend bringing your own if you have them. What does the speaker imply about the safety shoes at the front desk?

  1. They come in one size only.
  2. They may not be left when you arrive. Correct answer.
  3. They must be returned by Friday.
  4. They are reserved for managers.

Explanation

Saying the shoes "go quickly" and advising people to bring their own implies the supply may run out. Inferences come from comments about limited availability rather than from anything stated outright.

Question 24Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: I thought you were going to present the sales figures at the board meeting. Man: I was, but at the last minute Mr. Lee asked me to handle the vendor negotiation instead, so we traded places. What happened at the board meeting?

  1. The man and Mr. Lee switched roles. Correct answer.
  2. The sales report was cancelled.
  3. Mr. Lee failed to attend.
  4. The meeting was postponed.

Explanation

"We traded places" restates the swap described just before it: the man took over the negotiation while Mr. Lee presumably took the presentation. Idiomatic phrases like this are explained by the clause that precedes them.

Question 25Listening

You hear this recorded message: Thank you for calling Bellamy Hardware. Our store hours have changed for the holiday weekend: we'll be open from nine to six on Saturday, and we'll be closed on Sunday and Monday. Orders placed online during that time will be processed first thing Tuesday morning. Why is the speaker making this announcement?

  1. To advertise a sale on hardware
  2. To announce a new store opening
  3. To explain a temporary change in schedule Correct answer.
  4. To apologize for a late delivery

Explanation

The message gives altered hours for one weekend, which is a short-term scheduling change. Purpose questions are answered by asking what all the details have in common - here, all concern reduced opening days.

Question 26Listening

You hear: "Has the courier picked up the packages yet?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. I'll pick up a package on my way home.
  2. Yes, the boxes were quite heavy.
  3. Not yet - he usually arrives around three. Correct answer.
  4. They were delivered to the client last week.

Explanation

The prompt asks whether a collection has already happened, so the natural reply gives the current status plus the expected time. "Not yet" answers the yes/no question directly and adds useful detail. The remaining replies react to individual words rather than to the question being asked.

Question 27Listening

You hear: "Do you know where the HR department moved to?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Yes, she moved to a new apartment last month.
  2. The moving company arrives at noon today.
  3. I think they're on the fourth floor now. Correct answer.
  4. No, I don't need any help.

Explanation

The question requests a location, so the answer needs to name a place. "I think they're on the fourth floor now" supplies the new location of the department. The other options respond to the sounds "moved" or "help" rather than to the request for a location.

Question 28Listening

You hear: "How often does the team meeting take place?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Every Monday morning. Correct answer.
  2. Yes, I'll be there.
  3. About two hours.
  4. In the small meeting room.

Explanation

A "how often" question asks about frequency, so the reply must contain a frequency expression such as "every Monday morning". The other options answer questions about place, length of time, or attendance.

Question 29Listening

You hear this announcement: "Attention, shoppers. The escalator on the north side is out of service for repairs. Please use the elevators or the stairs near the main entrance." What are shoppers asked to do?

  1. Leave the building immediately.
  2. Use another way to reach other floors. Correct answer.
  3. Wait until the escalator is repaired.
  4. Report to the customer service desk.

Explanation

The announcement redirects shoppers to the elevators or the stairs, which are alternative routes between floors. Nothing in the message tells shoppers to leave, to visit a service desk, or to wait.

Question 30Listening

You hear: "How did the client react to the new design?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. We designed the whole thing ourselves.
  2. It's due next Friday.
  3. She seemed very pleased with it. Correct answer.
  4. At the design studio downtown.

Explanation

The question asks for a reaction, so the answer should describe how the client responded. "She seemed very pleased with it" does exactly that. The other options answer questions about place, deadline, or who created the design.

Question 31Listening

You hear this announcement: "The building's main entrance will be locked after 7 P.M. Employees working late should use the side door on Elm Street and show their ID badge." What should employees working late do?

  1. Enter through the side door and show ID. Correct answer.
  2. Park their cars on Elm Street.
  3. Leave the building before 7 P.M.
  4. Call the security office to ask for a key.

Explanation

The announcement explicitly tells late-working employees to use the side door on Elm Street and present an ID badge. No key request, early departure, or parking instruction is given.

Question 32Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: "I'm going to the print shop to pick up the brochures." Man: "Could you also get a box of letterhead while you're there?" Woman: "Sure, no problem." What will the woman do?

  1. Attend a printing workshop.
  2. Deliver letterhead to a client.
  3. Order new brochures.
  4. Buy paper supplies for the office. Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman agrees to collect a box of letterhead along with the brochures, so she will bring back paper supplies for the office. The brochures are already waiting, and no workshop or client delivery is mentioned.

Question 33Listening

You hear: "Do you think Mr. Alvarez will approve the budget increase?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. He hasn't mentioned any concerns so far. Correct answer.
  2. Mr. Alvarez's report is on your desk.
  3. The budget was approved last year.
  4. Yes, I increased it by ten percent.

Explanation

The question asks for a prediction about approval. A reply reporting that no objections have been raised implies approval is likely, which is a natural indirect answer. The other options shift to a past budget, an unrelated action by the speaker, or a misplaced document.

Question 34Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: "I've been trying to log in to the new expense system all morning, but it keeps rejecting my password." Woman: "Have you tried resetting it? There's a link right under the login box." Man: "Oh, I didn't notice that. I'll try it now." What does the woman suggest?

  1. Waiting for a system update.
  2. Entering the expenses by hand.
  3. Contacting the IT help desk.
  4. Using a password reset link. Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman asks whether he has tried resetting the password and points out the link below the login box. The man's reply confirms that he will follow that suggestion.

Question 35Listening

You hear this talk: "Before we begin the tour, I want to remind everyone that photography is not allowed in the galleries on the second floor. You're welcome to take pictures in the sculpture garden and the lobby. Also, please keep your bags in front of you at all times." What is the purpose of the talk?

  1. To announce a change in opening hours.
  2. To sell tickets for a guided tour.
  3. To describe the history of a building.
  4. To explain rules that visitors must follow. Correct answer.

Explanation

The speaker lists what visitors may and may not do regarding photography and bags, which amounts to a set of rules. Ticket sales, historical information, and opening hours are not part of the message.

Question 36Listening

You hear: "Weren't we supposed to meet the vendor at ten?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. They asked to push it back to eleven. Correct answer.
  2. No, I haven't met him yet.
  3. Yes, the vendor sold us ten units in total.
  4. The meeting room is down the hall.

Explanation

The speaker is checking on a scheduled appointment time. A reply reporting a new time addresses the real point of the question. The other options follow the sounds "ten", "met", or "meeting" without answering about the schedule.

Question 37Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: "How many applicants did we get for the junior analyst position?" Man: "Forty-two applied, but only fifteen met the minimum experience requirement." Woman: "Let's interview the top five of those." How many applicants met the minimum requirement?

  1. Forty-two
  2. Fifteen Correct answer.
  3. Five
  4. Twenty

Explanation

The man states that fifteen applicants met the minimum experience requirement. Forty-two is the total number who applied, and five is the number the woman wants to interview.

Question 38Listening

You hear this announcement: "The 4:15 express train to Camden has been delayed by about twenty minutes because of signal problems. Passengers traveling to Camden may also take the 4:30 local service, which will make all the usual stops." What does the announcement say about the 4:30 train?

  1. It is running as normal. Correct answer.
  2. It will leave from a different platform.
  3. It has been cancelled.
  4. It will arrive twenty minutes late.

Explanation

The 4:30 local is offered as an alternative and is said to make all its usual stops, which indicates it is operating normally. The twenty-minute delay belongs to the 4:15 express.

Question 39Listening

You hear: "How many copies of the agenda should I print?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. One for each of the twelve attendees. Correct answer.
  2. I printed it yesterday.
  3. In the copy room, please.
  4. Yes, the agenda looks good.

Explanation

A "how many" question calls for a quantity, so the reply should state a number or a basis for counting. "One for each of the twelve attendees" provides exactly that. The other options answer questions about place, opinion, or a past action.

Question 40Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: "The caterer just called - they can't deliver the lunch until one o'clock." Woman: "But the seminar starts at noon and people will be hungry." Man: "I'll run out and pick up some sandwiches and fruit just in case." What will the man probably do next?

  1. Go out to buy food. Correct answer.
  2. Cancel the caterer's order.
  3. Move the seminar to one o'clock.
  4. Call the seminar participants.

Explanation

The man says he will run out to pick up sandwiches and fruit, so his next action is to buy food. He does not cancel the caterer, reschedule the seminar, or plan any calls.

Question 41Listening

You hear this recorded message: "Hi, this is Denise from the accounting department. I'm calling about the invoice you submitted on the twelfth. The total doesn't match the purchase order, so I'll need a corrected copy before we can process payment. Please call me back at extension 4310." Why is Denise calling?

  1. To confirm that a payment was sent.
  2. To report a discrepancy in an invoice. Correct answer.
  3. To request a payment from a client.
  4. To order new office equipment for the team.

Explanation

Denise explains that the invoice total does not match the purchase order and asks for a corrected copy, so she is reporting a mismatch. She is not asking for payment, confirming one, or ordering equipment.

Question 42Listening

You hear: "I'm afraid the room you reserved has been double-booked." Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. Yes, I booked it last week.
  2. The room was very clean.
  3. Is there another room available? Correct answer.
  4. No, I don't have a reservation.

Explanation

The statement presents a problem with a reservation, so the natural reply asks for a solution. Asking whether another room is free addresses that problem directly. The other options merely repeat "booked", comment on the room's condition, or contradict the reservation.

Question 43Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: "Did you manage to get the funding approved for the new hires?" Man: "Not exactly. The board said we can bring on two people now and revisit the rest in the fall." Woman: "That's better than nothing, I suppose." What does the man mean?

  1. Only part of the request was granted. Correct answer.
  2. The board rejected the request entirely.
  3. The new hires will all start in the fall.
  4. The board approved every position.

Explanation

The man reports that two people can be hired now while the remaining positions will be reconsidered later, so the request was approved only in part. His opening "Not exactly" signals a partial rather than a complete outcome.

Question 44Listening

You hear this talk: "Welcome to the team. A few housekeeping items before you settle in. Your access card works on every door except the server room; for that one, you'll need a supervisor to let you in. Coffee and tea are free in the break room, but please rinse your mug afterward. IT will set up your laptop this afternoon." What does the speaker say about the server room?

  1. It will be moved to another floor.
  2. It is open to all employees.
  3. The team meets there every morning.
  4. A supervisor must provide access. Correct answer.

Explanation

The speaker says the access card does not open the server room and that a supervisor must let people in. No meeting schedule, general access, or relocation is mentioned.

Question 45Listening

You hear: "I hear the deadline for the grant proposal has been moved up." Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. The proposal was accepted, wasn't it?
  2. Yes, they moved to a much bigger office downtown.
  3. Really? I thought we had until the end of the month. Correct answer.
  4. I'll move it to the top shelf.

Explanation

"Moved up" means brought forward to an earlier date, so an appropriate response reacts to the shortened timeline. The other options react to the word "moved" or to the proposal itself rather than to the new deadline.

Question 46Listening

You hear this conversation: Man: "I'm thinking of applying for the manager position in the Denver office." Woman: "That would mean relocating, wouldn't it? And your daughter just started school here." Man: "I know. I haven't sent anything in yet." What is the woman implying?

  1. The man should apply as soon as possible.
  2. The man lacks the qualifications for the position.
  3. The relocation would cause family problems. Correct answer.
  4. The Denver office is closing soon.

Explanation

The woman raises relocation and the daughter's new school, both of which point to family difficulties. Her remark is a gentle warning about consequences rather than a comment on his qualifications or on timing.

Question 47Listening

You hear this talk: "As you can see from the chart, our online sales grew by eighteen percent last quarter, while in-store sales stayed flat. The question now is whether we should shift more of our advertising budget to digital channels. I'd like each department to prepare a short recommendation by Friday." Who most likely is the speaker?

  1. A web developer
  2. A company manager Correct answer.
  3. A retail customer
  4. A newspaper reporter

Explanation

The speaker reviews sales results, raises a budget decision, and assigns work to departments, all of which are the duties of someone leading a company team. Customers and reporters would not direct departments to submit recommendations.

Question 48Listening

You hear this conversation: Woman: "I thought the shipment was supposed to arrive on Tuesday." Man: "It was, but the supplier said the truck broke down outside of Baltimore. They're saying Thursday now." Woman: "That's going to be tight - the customer's event is Friday morning." What is the woman concerned about?

  1. The order was placed with the wrong company.
  2. The delivery may miss the customer's deadline. Correct answer.
  3. The truck driver was injured in the accident.
  4. The supplier has stopped answering calls.

Explanation

The woman calls the new Thursday delivery "tight" because the customer's event is Friday morning, so she fears the goods will arrive too close to the deadline. Nothing is said about unanswered calls, a wrong supplier, or injuries.

Question 49Listening

You hear this talk: "I know many of you have been asking about the new expense policy. The full document won't be ready until next month, but starting immediately, any purchase over five hundred dollars needs written approval from a department head. Receipts must still be submitted within thirty days. If you have questions in the meantime, my assistant can help." What change takes effect immediately?

  1. All purchases now need written approval from a department head.
  2. Receipts must be submitted within sixty days.
  3. Purchases over five hundred dollars need approval. Correct answer.
  4. The full policy will be posted on the company website.

Explanation

The speaker says that, starting immediately, purchases over five hundred dollars require written approval from a department head. The receipt deadline stays at thirty days, and the full policy is not yet available.

Question 50Listening

You hear: "Where should I leave these packages?" Which response is the most appropriate?

  1. In the mailroom, please. Correct answer.
  2. The delivery was yesterday.
  3. Yes, about six of them.
  4. No, thank you.

Explanation

A question beginning with "Where" asks about a location, so the natural reply names a place. "In the mailroom" supplies exactly that information. The other replies answer different question types (quantity, time, yes/no).
