Strategy for this section
On the first listen, get each speaker's broad meaning; make rough matches only.
On the second listen, find the exact phrase that proves the match.
يُفَضِّلُ · أُحِبُّ · أَسْتَمْتِعُ بِـ
There is one extra unused option — settle the last match by elimination.

سَمِيرٌ: أُفَضِّلُ قَضَاءَ عُطْلَتِي فِي القِرَاءَةِ فِي البَيْتِ. لَيْلَى: أَنَا أُحِبُّ الرِّيَاضَةَ، وَسَأَلْعَبُ كُرَةَ السَّلَّةِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ. كَرِيمٌ: أَسْتَمْتِعُ بِزِيَارَةِ جَدِّي فِي القَرْيَةِ كُلَّ نِهَايَةِ أُسْبُوعٍ. هُدَى: أَنَا مَشْغُولَةٌ بِالتَّحْضِيرِ لِلِامْتِحَانِ، فَلَنْ أَخْرُجَ هٰذَا الأُسْبُوعَ.
