Hi
I read the following in a TOEIC book:
“Questions 191-195 refer to the following e-mails.
E-mail #1
To: Comptrone employees
From: Gretchen Brockmeyer
Subject: Upcoming seminar
Date: September 27,9:16 A.M.
I have scheduled a two-part seminar designed to explain the new federal import regulations and how they affect business here at Comptrone Industries. All employees are required to attend at least the morning session. The seminar will take place on November 4 in room 122. A makeup date of November 11 has been set for those who are unable to attend on November 4.
Schedule:
Morning session: 9:30-12:00
Covers the basics of the new regulations. Designed for all employees.
Lunch: 12:00-1:00
Provided by Comptrone (chicken, fish, or vegetarian main course, beverage, and dessert)
Afternoon session: 1:00-5:00
Covers more advanced regulations. Designed for managers who directly oversee imports for the company.
To sign up, please send an e-mail to Yee Mei Chung (Email Removed">Email Removed) by October 1. In your message, please indicate whether you will attend the morning session only or both sessions, as well as your meal preference for lunch. Those who need to sign up for the makeup seminar should indicate this as well, along with the number of sessions they will attend.
We look forward to seeing you at the seminar.

Subject: Seminar
Date: October 4,8:43 A.M.
Hello Ms. Chung,
I’m sorry to be sending this to you after the requested date, but I was ill last week and not in the office. I regret that I will be unable to attend the original seminar, as I will be inTokyoon business at that time. Please schedule me for the makeup date. I would like the vegetarian option for lunch, please.
Thank you,
Thierry
195. What requested information did Mr. Moreau NOT include in his e-mail?
(A ) His job title
(B ) His travel itinerary
(C ) The part of the seminar he will attend
(D ) The meal he would like for lunch”
( (p. 490~491, ETS TOEICReadingPrep Book))
I think C is the correct answer, but what do you think? Do you agree with me?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Mister Micawber.
The book says A is correct, but I thought there's something wrong with the book.
That's why I asked the question.
The book said C was correct at first, but in the recent edition, the book says A is correct, which I don't agree.
(I think there's some problem with the publisher's editing system. There IS some confusion among the editors, I think.)

It is just a misprint. Answer keys are particularly prone to misprints, it seems.

I'm sorry to say this:
The book EXPLAINS why A is correct in the recent edition - "A is correct just because it is not on the second E-mai.", but I don't think this is a correct explanation at all. Thus, I called the publisher, and the reply was "We checked the original question and answer from ETS, and CONFIRMED that there's NO error.", which I can't understand.
Anyway, thnak yo
