Distractor Explanation

  • The customer first asks about a loan appointment, but books a savings account appointment.
  • The City branch is mentioned first, but it is fully booked. The confirmed branch is North.
  • Tuesday is offered first, but the customer cannot attend. The appointment is booked for Thursday.
  • 10:15 is taken, so the final appointment time is 10:45.

Review Focus

  • Did you write the final appointment type?
  • Did you avoid the fully booked branch?
  • Did you catch the accepted day?
  • Did you write the final time after 10:15 was rejected?
