In short
Recommend A conditionally: it reaches two neighbourhoods and its projected €180 cost fits the €200 ceiling. B costs less, but reaches only one neighbourhood. Before choosing A, ask who can transport the exhibition.
Yellow the idea to rememberBlue French to learn
L’association veut présenter ses archives dans au moins deux quartiers, avec un budget maximal de 200 euros.
The association wants to present its archives in at least two neighbourhoods, with a maximum budget of €200.
| Criterion | A: travelling exhibition | B: meeting |
|---|---|---|
| Neighbourhoods reached | Two. | One. |
| Projected cost | €180 for both venues. | €120. |
| Resource status | Transport volunteers still needed. | A room is already available. |
| Against the brief | Reach and projected cost fit; transport needs checking. | Cost fits; reach falls short. |

Focus: the version being assessed
Dans sa forme actuelle, l’option B ne couvre qu’un quartier.
In its current form, B covers only one neighbourhood.
Type the missing French phrase from each cue. These eight lines build a recommendation in order: criteria, comparison, condition and next action. The budget is a ceiling, so the cheaper option still needs to satisfy the other requirement. Treat the projected costs as estimates and the volunteers as a resource to confirm.
