PROBLEM: M: You asked Beth to be here around 7:00, didn't you? ,F: Yes, what time is it now? ,M: It's almost 8.I wonder what happened? ,F: Um, she might have forgotten the time. Why don't I call and see if she's on her way. "A few minutes later.", I got her voicemail so she must not have turned on her cellphone. ,M: I hope she didn't have a problem on the road. Her car could have broken down or something. ,F: Of course she may have simply forgotten and done something else today. ,M: No, she couldn't have forgotten. I just talked to her about it yesterday. I guess we should start to order without her.
(A) F: Since you suggest waiting for Beth next, and she is supposed to meet us at about eight o'clock, let's wait for her. (B) F: Do you suggest calling Beth again? But her cell phone is broken. (C) F: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Could you say it again? (D) F: Would you like to order next? But Beth was not late. She was supposed to meet us at about eight o'clock.
