Listening: The Mysterious Emergency Admission — What must have caused it?

The Mysterious Emergency Admission

Listen and choose the right answer

Why does Andrew initially think the family got sick?

  • They ate something bad at a restaurant
  • They inhaled toxic paint fumes
  • They drank contaminated tap water

Why does Ashley rule out food poisoning?

  • Because they all ate different meals
  • Because they didn't eat anything all day
  • Because the blood tests were completely normal

What new piece of information makes Andrew change his mind?

  • The family dog is also sick
  • The neighbor called the police
  • The water bill was extremely high

What was the actual source of the illness?

  • A carbon monoxide leak from a new heater
  • Black mold spreading in the basement
  • An allergic reaction to bee stings

Listen again and complete the sentences

  • Ashley: Yes, I examined them just now. It's quite an ____ for a single household, isn't it?
  • Andrew: They must have eaten something bad at a restaurant. Food poisoning is the most likely ____ when a whole family falls ill together.
  • Andrew: That ruins my theory completely. So they couldn't have ingested any ____ shellfish or spoiled meat together.
  • Andrew: Could they've been exposed to ____ in the basement? That might explain chronic respiratory issues, but not sudden headache and nausea.
  • Ashley: That's it! They must have been exposed to ____ from a faulty burner in that new unit.
