M: Have you gotten a pay raise in the time you taught here?
W: I’m due for my first next year.
What can be inferred about the woman?  (“due” sounds the same as “do”)

answerc) She hasn't yet received a pay raise

Is there someone help me understand? I  more preferred the answer(b) She got a pay raise last year . Maybe translating the sentence "I’m due for my first next year" into chinese words would help . Thanks a lot!

26.

M: Tell me about it. They are one of my pet peeves.

Why the answer is (d) He hate standing in line.  Is the answer wrong? I think it is obviou the answer is (c) He dislike people who think they know every thing.
