Comments:
Sorry, I mean Q19 should be E
The answer for 19 is E,
for 16 it is reserved, but not reserve (can be reserved),
also for 11 question in the speech it says in the morning, but then continues and says from 9 am to 12 pm, which is midnight,
also the answer for 15 here is "locker", but that would not be correct without the article "a"
Is this the actual IELTS test with the answers or just something similar?
Sorry, I mean Q19 should be E
Q21 should be E
