You are given a short text about three people: Alice, Pedro, and Sven, describing their daily routines. Then there is a list of 10 statements (numbered 1 to 10), and you're asked to determine whether each statement is True or False based on the information in the text.
Let’s go through the text first and then analyze each statement.
---
#### Alice
- Works in a law firm.
- Gets up at 7:00, has breakfast, makes toast, drinks coffee.
- Leaves home at 7:30.
- Arrives at office at 8:00.
- Works until 5:00.
- Goes home at 5:10, eats lunch, watches TV.
- At 6:30, she starts cooking.
- Usually eats dinner with her husband and son.
- Sometimes eats alone.
- Goes to sleep at 10:00.
#### Pedro
- Works as a teacher.
- Wakes up at 6:30.
- Has breakfast with his mother and his sister.
- Leaves home at 7:30.
- Arrives at school at 8:00.
- Teaches until 12:30.
- Lunch break from 12:30–1:30.
- Returns to work until 4:30.
- Leaves school at 4:30, goes home, does homework.
- Eats dinner at 7:00.
- Goes to bed at 10:30.
#### Sven
- Lives in Stockholm with his brother.
- Wakes up at 7:00.
- Gets dressed, washes face, brushes teeth.
- Leaves home at 7:30.
- Arrives at work at 8:00.
- Works until 5:30.
- Goes home at 5:30, eats dinner, watches TV.
- At 9:00, he does homework for one hour.

Now let's evaluate each statement:
---
1. Alice is married.
→ The text says: "She usually eats dinner with her husband and son."
⇒ So yes, she is married.
✔ TRUE
2. Alice gets to work by bus.
→ The text says: "She leaves home at 7:30... arrives at office at 8:00."
But it does not say how she travels. No mention of bus, car, etc.
⇒ We cannot confirm.
✘ FALSE (We don't know; assumption not supported)
3. Alice works with men in her office.
→ The text says: "She works in a law firm" and "She has a secretary."
But no mention of whether her colleagues are men or women.
⇒ Not enough info.
✘ FALSE (Cannot be confirmed)
4. Alice drinks coffee with milk in the morning.
→ The text says: "She drinks coffee."
But doesn't say if it's with milk.
⇒ No confirmation.
✘ FALSE
5. Pedro lives with one of his parents.
→ He has breakfast with his mother and sister.
This implies he lives with them (since he's having breakfast at home).
⇒ Yes, he lives with his mother.
✔ TRUE
6. Pedro gets home later than Sven.
- Pedro leaves school at 4:30, goes home → likely arrives around 4:30–5:00.
- Sven leaves work at 5:30, goes home → arrives around 5:30–6:00.
⇒ Sven gets home later than Pedro.
So Pedro does not get home later.
✘ FALSE
7. Sven lives with his sister.
→ The text says: "Sven lives in Stockholm with his brother."
⇒ He lives with his brother, not sister.
✘ FALSE
8. Sven eats lunch at his sister.
→ This is grammatically incorrect. Probably meant to say “at his sister’s” or “with his sister.”
But even then:
- Sven lives with his brother, not sister.
- No mention of a sister.
- He eats lunch at work (implied): "He eats lunch at work."
⇒ He does not eat lunch at his sister’s.
✘ FALSE
9. Sven eats lunch with his sister.
→ Again, no sister mentioned.
→ He eats lunch at work.
⇒ Not with his sister.
✘ FALSE
10. Sven falls asleep as soon as he goes to bed.
→ The text says: "He goes to bed at 10:30."
But it doesn't say he falls asleep immediately.
⇒ No evidence.
✘ FALSE

1. True
2. False
3. False
