Hello, this message is for Mr. Lee. This is Karen calling from Dr. Green's dental office. I'm calling about your appointment for a dental cleaning that was scheduled for this Thursday at two o'clock. Unfortunately, Dr. Green will be attending a dental conference in Boston that day, so he won't be in the office. We need to reschedule your appointment to another day.

Questions 10-12

Narrator: Questions 10 through 12 refer to the following report.

Good afternoon, this is Mike Reynolds with your noon traffic and weather update. If you're heading out on Highway 7 this afternoon, expect some delays. Construction crews are working on the road surface near Exit 12, and traffic is backed up for about three miles. Your best option is to take Route 9 as an alternative. Now, looking ahead to the weekend, we're expecting a significant heatwave to move into the area. Temperatures could reach the mid-nineties on Saturday and Sunday, so make sure you stay hydrated and limit your time outdoors during peak hours. That's your update, stay cool out there.
