After "I checked the ferry timetable", the next sentence gives the time from the timetable: the first ferry leaves at 9.00 a.m. A 40-minute ride from 9.00 a.m. gives the 9.40 a.m. arrival, so A must come before that sentence.
[1 mark] (b)Gap (b)
Show answerHide answer
B
"So, let's meet at 8.30 a.m." gives the result: they must buy tickets before 8.45 a.m., so they meet early.
