Answer

Mateo plans to arrive at 5:00 PM to test the sound equipment before the event begins.
Mateo explicitly confirms his schedule by stating, 'I will arrive at 5:00 PM with the traditional music recordings so we can test the sound system before guests arrive.' This directly matches the stated arrival time.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target question and specific factual detail required.
The question asks specifically for Mateo's planned arrival time.
Clarifying the subject (Mateo) and the action (arrival time) prevents confusion with other mentioned times.
2
Scan Mateo's dialogue in the transcript for statements regarding his arrival.
Mateo states: 'I will arrive at 5:00 PM with the traditional music recordings so we can test the sound system before guests arrive.'
Extracting the exact sentence uttered by Mateo provides the direct factual detail.
3
Differentiate Mateo's arrival time from other contextual timestamps mentioned by Sofia.
4:00 PM is for the science lab presentation and 5:30 PM is the event start time, confirming 5:00 PM is Mateo's arrival time.
Validates the correct detail against potential distractors in the dialogue.
