Apr 19, 2013 at 16:14 comment added user21497 @Peter: Yes, they are too subtle to care about except for people who make tests like this. When the test makers don't see them, they screw up by ignoring the possibility of two correct answers. The end result of each answer is the same: No talking during the exam. It doesn't test the purpose of using language: it merely asks the testee to tell the testers what they're thinking.
Apr 19, 2013 at 15:22 comment added Peter Shor You may have implied this in your answer, but I think it's worth saying explicitly: It seems to me that the distinctions given in this answer are much too subtle for the makers of the FCE exam to care about them. There should be more than one correct answer to this question, and if there's not, it's oversight on the part of the test compilers, and not a subtle distinction that you're supposed to be making.
