Difficulty: MediumExtracting Factual Details

Read the following transcript of a conversation between two students:

Mateo: Hi Sofia, have you confirmed the logistics for our environmental science presentation next Thursday?
Sofia: Yes, I initially reserved the science auditorium, but due to maintenance work on the projector, we had to switch to Room 204 in the humanities building.
Mateo: Got it. And what about the materials? Should I bring the printed surveys or the digital tablets?
Sofia: The department coordinator asked us to use the tablets for immediate data collection, but please make sure to bring fifteen printed summary sheets as backups for the judges.
Mateo: Perfect. I will pick up the tablets from the media lab at 8:30 AM and print the fifteen sheets beforehand.

  1. A
    Digital tablets for immediate data collection
  2. Fifteen printed summary sheetsAnswer
  3. C
    Printed survey questionnaires for the audience
  4. D
    Replacement projector cables for the auditorium

Answer

Fifteen printed summary sheets
The correct answer directly reflects Sofia's explicit request for Mateo to bring fifteen printed summary sheets as backup materials for the judges.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target factual detail requested in the prompt
The goal is to determine the specific backup material requested for the judges.
Clarifying the specific role (backup for judges) prevents confusion with primary materials or general logistics.
2
Locate the discussion of materials and backups in the dialogue
Sofia states that while tablets will be used for data collection, Mateo must bring fifteen printed summary sheets as backups for the judges.
This isolates the exact requirement stated by Sofia from the other items mentioned in the conversation.
3
Match the extracted fact with the answer options
The option specifying fifteen printed summary sheets directly matches Sofia's explicit statement.
Selecting this option fulfills the factual detail requirement without conflating other mentioned items.
