At the start of the dialogue, what announcement is given over the loudspeaker?
No, the announcement does not say that the bus has already "left" or "departed".
Later, the bus driver questions Jean about whether he is carrying any explosives, but the loudspeaker announcement here does not mention the safety of luggage.
No, the announcement does not say that this bus will be "delayed" or "late".
No, there would not be enough time to visit the ticket counter as this bus is about to leave!
This is the right answer. The loudspeaker says passengers for the New York City bus should "proceed directly" to their gate. That means they should go there right away!
