Answer key

For grown-ups. Fold this page away before handing over the rest.

Three failed orders in a row · Repeated real failures prove the gap.
Listening, speaking, reading, writing · Those four cover the whole language.
False · Taste trains strengths; judgement trains needs.
Speaking on calls · Calls freeze, so speaking under pressure lags most.
Hear films but not yet hold a talk · Her listening leads while her speaking lags.
True · Gentle honesty keeps you going without hiding gaps.
Her proof contradicts her claim · Ease with films proves listening leads, so the crown fits elsewhere.
Drill the weakest daily · Judgement trains needs, and needs sit at the weakest skill.
