In Cambridge IELTS 2 Test 1, in the 10th question you hear the narrator expressing that "Louise's card will be ready until next week." The question asks you "when will Louise's card be ready?" I wrote down "until next week", but the book gives the followings as the correct answers: next week/ in a week/ in one week/ the following week. Would i get a mark for my answer?
1 Answer
Is there a typo in the sentence? I suggest it was actually
Louise's card will not be ready until next week.
When will Louise's card be ready?next week / in a week / in one week / the following week
In that case your proposed answer
until next week
is incorrect because that means the card is ready now. But it isn't ready, and the correct answer is
next week
On the other hand if there is no typo the question is
Louise's card will be ready until next week.
When will Louise's card be ready?next week / in a week / in one week / the following week
and the answer is "now" or "this week" – but those are not options.
