TOEIC reading: included or an extra charge?
Practice a detail-reading skill for TOEIC Listening & Reading Part 7 with an original meeting-room offer. This short text exercise is not an official item or a full test.
Professor Scott MendozaThe short answer
“Included in the rental fee” means no separate charge for that item within the stated package. “Available for an additional charge” means it costs extra. Available alone tells you that a service can be obtained, not that it is included.
Read the cost condition next to the service.
Find the service name, then check the phrase that controls its cost. Included, at no additional charge and for an additional charge have different meanings. A service can be offered and still cost extra. Here the room fee covers the projector and Wi-Fi, while printing is priced separately.
