Important examples of auditorium in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, auditorium is often used to refer to a place for meetings or events.

▪The meeting will be held in the auditorium.

▪The meeting will take place in the hall.

Example of a confusing word: audience (the people attending an event)

▪The meeting will be held in the audience.

▪The meeting will be attended by the audience.

"Auditorium" refers to a physical space or venue where events like meetings or performances occur. In "The meeting will be held in the auditorium," the sentence is correct as it specifies the location. "Audience," however, refers to the group of people watching or listening to an event. Saying "The meeting will be held in the audience" is incorrect because "audience" is not a location. Therefore, "auditorium" is the correct choice for indicating the venue.
