  • 12 October is fully booked, so the confirmed visit date is 13 October.
  • 2:00 is mentioned first, but the final tour time is 2:30.
  • The adult price is 14 pounds, but the student ticket price is 11 pounds.

Review Focus

  • Did you avoid writing the unavailable art tour?
  • Did you catch the confirmed date?
  • Did you write the final tour time?
  • Did you choose the student ticket price?
