Hi,

I have a concern regarding the combined questions in the listening section here two people are discussing about the robots. While answering those i mentioned one option in each question in the order that it was heard in the recording. Ex if the recording said that robots monitor the vital organs and give reminders to patients i mentioned one of them for one question and the next one to the following instead of combining them and mentioning them for both questions. Followed the same format for the next set of combined question too in the same section where the possible answers were something to do with loneliness and independence . I am wondering if this is the right approach or have a lost on those 4 questions. Please advise!!!

Thanks

I think yours is the correct approach - I did opposite (mentioned both letters in both questions) and I am wondering if this is acceptable? I think both of these should be acceptable but you never know. However, your approach is more 'common'.

Well I hope both approaches are acceptable because end of the day answers to the questions are right and its not a life or death situation where anyone is gonna loose anything. I hope each approach is scored fairly as it doesn't look wrong to me either ways.
