正解：(B) Its food and service were bad
詳解
這題卡在一句慣用語：for the birds。字面像跟鳥有關，其實它是「爛透了、沒價值」的意思。男生說餐廳 for the birds，就是嫌它很糟。碰到這種明顯不能照字面翻的話，最穩的解法是往後聽他舉的理由，他接著講了兩件事：french fries were swimming in oil（薯條泡在油裡，難吃到大半沒吃）、老闆的狗跳上桌咬麵包 the owner didn't do anything（老闆卻不管）。一件是食物爛、一件是服務差，合起來就是 (B) Its food and service were bad（食物和服務都很差）。
聽這種題別死盯 for the birds 那一句，女生那句 Why do you say that?（你怎麼這麼說）等於幫你把問題丟出來，男生後面的回答就是把「爛在哪」一條一條講給你聽。抓住「油膩的薯條」對應食物、「老闆放任狗亂來」對應服務，答案要同時涵蓋這兩塊，只有 (B) 兩件都包到。
誘答分析
•
(A) It gave very little food.：「給的食物太少」被 I left most of them（大半沒吃）誤導。但他剩下大半，是因為薯條太油、難吃到吃不下，不是因為餐廳給太少。把「難吃到剩下」聽成「份量太少」，原因抓反了。
•
(C) It allowed people to bring their pets.：「允許客人帶寵物」被 dog 這個字釣走。但那隻狗是老闆自己的、跳上桌搗亂，不是餐廳「開放客人帶寵物」的政策。這是把一個沒說過的規定硬補上去。
聽力提示
遇到明顯不能照字面翻的慣用語（for the birds），別卡在那句，往後聽他舉的理由。對方一句 Why do you say that? 常常就是在幫你把「原因」引出來，答案要涵蓋他講的每一塊（食物＋服務）。
