The question is: "Do you think anyone will get it?" — meaning, will someone be chosen for the new manager job?
(A) says that the company will probably choose (promote) someone who already works there. This directly answers the question.
(C) says yes, because many people want the job. This also answers the question.

(D) talks about John attending a meeting, which is not related to the manager job at all.
So (A) and (C) are the appropriate responses.

The Forgetting Curve – Ebbinghaus’ EpiphanyThe process of forgetting is best explained by the Forgetting Curve (also known as the Ebbinghaus Curve, named after German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the 1880s). This curve shows the relationship between time and how well we retain information.
Research based on the Forgetting Curve reveals that the average person forgets 65% of what they learn after just one day and up to 75% after one week. This natural decline in memory makes learning a new language slower and more challenging.
How to Learn Faster and Remember More
To help overcome this challenge, we created MyLingo Tutor a smart learning system designed to speed up your learning and improve your memory. MyLingo Tutor creates and analyzes a personalized Learning Curve for every word you study, ensuring you review each word at exactly the right time to prevent forgetting.
The graph below shows how MyLingo Tutor tracks your Learning Curve and perfectly times your review sessions to boost long-term memory.
Well done! You’ve completed all the exercises in this scene.
