Choose the best option for each blank.
Hi Marcus,
I finally sat down with the venue sheet you printed out, and I think we can settle this before Friday's staff meeting. The bistro sounds elegant, and everyone loves the food there, but it is , and with forty two names on our guest list we would be squeezing the room as well. The pavilion is pretty, though since it , it will not work for an evening party. That leaves the hall and the community centre. The hall would save us the trouble of renting speakers, because . The catch is that Elena's sister wants to bake the cake herself, and the hall . So my vote goes to the community centre. It is by far , it holds everyone with room to spare, and we can use the kitchen for the cake.
If you agree, I will call first thing tomorrow, since places like this apparently fill up well ahead of time. Could you check how much table space the cake will need?

How CELPIP Reading Part 2 works
You get a diagram and an email that refers to it. The email has 5 blanks that can only be filled by checking the diagram, followed by 3 questions about the writer and the purpose of the email.
- Skim the diagram headings first so you know where each kind of detail lives. Do not try to memorize it.
- Each blank points to one item in the diagram. Find the item the sentence is describing, then pick the option that matches the fact.
- The last 3 questions are about the people and the purpose, so the answers come from the email, not the diagram.
