Introduction / Context:
“Itinerary” is widely used in travel and planning contexts. This item evaluates whether you can distinguish between a document/plan (an itinerary) and related but different travel items like a general map or a guidebook.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Target word: itinerary.
- Options: map; planned route or travel schedule; travel; guidebook.
- We seek the option that defines what an itinerary is in practice.
Concept / Approach:
- An itinerary lists the places to be visited and the times/sequence of travel—essentially the planned route and schedule.
- It is not the same as a map (geographic representation) or a guidebook (descriptive resource).
Step-by-Step Solution:
Define itinerary: a detailed plan of a journey, including routes and times.Match options: “planned route or travel schedule” directly expresses this meaning.Exclude thematic but non-synonymous items (map, guidebook, travel).
Verification / Alternative check:
Sentence fit: “Please email me the itinerary” ≈ “Please email me the planned route/schedule,” not a general map or a guidebook.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
map: Shows locations but is not a plan or schedule.travel: The activity itself, not the plan.guidebook: Descriptive/ advisory content, not the route/timetable.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming any travel-related item is interchangeable with “itinerary.” Precision matters: itinerary = plan.
Final Answer:
planned route or travel schedule
