(9) Are they written correctly?
Hi teachers,
This is for a listening comprehension exercise. The text is from a CD. Alex Dinon has escaped from prison a day ago. Felix is a man, an inspector, and the Chief is a woman.
If this is what the students will hear:
‘Sit down, Inspector, and listen,’ the Chief said. ‘We need to find this man quickly. The President is not happy.You’re a good policeman, Inspector, and this is an important job for you.’‘Chief,’ Felix began. ‘How did Dinon escape from prison?’‘That’s not important now,’ the Chief said.
Are these suitable questions to ask?
1. Why did they need to get Alex as soon as possible? Because the President was not happy.
2. Was the Chief being nice to the Inspector? How do you know? Yes, she was. Because she told him that he was a good policeman.
3. What did Felix want to know? He wanted to know how Dinon had escaped from prison.
4. Did the Chief express the same concern? How do you know? No, she didn’t. Because she said that that wasn’t important then.
Thanks in advance.

Thinking SpainOne more question please, how come I have a comma before 'because' for # 2 and I don't in # 4?Oops.., I missed that one; I'm so sorry.
Same treatment applies to #4:
No, she didn’t; because she said that that wasn’t important then.
However, I myself would've answered:
No, she didn’t; she said that tha
