Answers and explanations

Show answers and explanations

Practice questions

Answer: Colour

Blue was ordered; red arrived.

  • Quantity — Both records show one.
  • Size — Both are small.

2. What does 빨간색 가방이 왔어요 report?

Answer: The delivered item

왔어요 describes the delivery result here.

  • A completed exchange — No exchange status was stated.
  • A future order — This is not a future plan.

3. What is the model order number?

Answer: A-102

The model record says A-102.

  • A-205 — A-205 is the new task order.
  • 102원 — An order code is not a price.

No processing result has been given yet.

  • Replacement delivered — No replacement delivery was reported.
  • Refund received — No refund was mentioned.

Learning check

1. New record: one large red bag ordered, two small red bags delivered. What matches?

Answer: Colour

Both are red.

  • Quantity — One and two differ.
  • Size — Large and small differ.

2. Explain the quantity difference in that new order.

Answer: 한 개를 주문했는데 두 개가 왔어요.

Ordered one; received two.

  • 두 개를 주문했는데 한 개가 왔어요. — The two records are reversed.
  • 한 개를 주문했고 한 개가 왔어요. — The delivered quantity is wrong.

3. You want the originally ordered item. Which request fits?

Answer: 주문한 물건으로 바꿔 주세요.

It requests the desired action.

  • 교환이 끝났어요. — This claims completion.
  • 다른 물건을 주문했어요. — This reports an order instead of asking.

4. Which sentence correctly contrasts order and delivery?

Answer: 가방을 주문했는데 책이 왔어요.

The arriving item 책 takes 이.

  • 가방을 주문할 거예요 책이 왔어요. — This does not use the practised past-order link.
  • 가방을 주문했는데 책을 왔어요. — 책 is the subject of 왔어요, not its object.

5. What happens if you give A-102 for order A-205?

Answer: Staff may look up the wrong order

The code identifies which order to check.

  • Only the colour changes — A code does not describe colour.
  • Quantity is automatically corrected — Giving a code does not change the order.

6. How should you handle a cause not visible in the evidence?

Answer: Report observed differences and ask about the cause

Do not assert an unsupported cause.

  • State it was the staff’s mistake — Staff fault has not been established.
  • State it was damaged in delivery — No damage cause was supplied.

Example answers

Written responses are examples. Other wording can also meet the same conditions.

1. New order A-205: one large red bag. State what you ordered, including quantity.

큰 빨간색 가방 1개를 주문했어요.

Keep the ordered size, colour and quantity.

2. A-205 actually delivered two small red bags. Describe the delivery.

작은 빨간색 가방 두 개가 왔어요.

작은 빨간색 가방 2개가 왔어요.

The delivered quantity is two.

3. Now link both size and quantity differences in one sentence with 주문했는데.

큰 빨간색 가방 한 개를 주문했는데 작은 빨간색 가방 두 개가 왔어요.

큰 빨간색 가방 1개를 주문했는데 작은 빨간색 가방 2개가 왔어요.

Do not reverse one large item and two small ones.

4. Staff asks for the order number. Give this task’s code.

주문번호는 A-205예요.

A-205예요.

Use A-205, not the model’s A-102.

5. Ask for the item you originally ordered, using 바꿔 주세요.

주문한 물건으로 바꿔 주세요.

원래 주문한 물건으로 바꿔 주세요.

This is a request, not a completion report.
