Answers for Cambridge IELTS 19 Test 1 Listening Section 2, covering the five multiple-choice questions and the map-labelling block.
Questions 11-20 · 10 marks · 2 question blocks
Questions 11-15
Three options per question and no repeats in this block. Read all three options during the pause: in a monologue the speaker typically mentions two of them before settling on the third, so the first option you hear is rarely the answer.

| 13 | B | — |
| 14 | C | — |

Questions 16-20
Eight lettered locations for five gaps, so three letters go unused. Before the audio starts, fix your orientation on the map (entrance, direction of travel, and the two or three landmarks that will be used as reference points) because the speaker gives directions relative to them rather than by name.

What your score on this section actually tells you
One section is 10 of the 40 marks in the paper, so it is a sample, not a band score. What it is good for is diagnosis: look at which of the question types above you lost marks in and whether the same type has hurt you before.
If your errors cluster in one question type, that is a technique problem and it is fixable in a week. If they are spread evenly, it is usually speed — you are running out of time and guessing the last few, which shows up as scattered wrong answers rather than a bad block.
