TASK DEFINITION: In this task you are given a small conversation between two persons and 4 options on how the conversation should continue. Your job is to choose the most reasonable option. The conversation and the options are separated by a newline character. Each dialogue in the conversation are separated by a comma. F and M indicate female and male, respectively.
PROBLEM: M: Would you consider buying a self-driving car? ,F: I don't know. I guess I'd have to research a bit more about them before making that decision. ,M: It will probably be a while before we are able to buy them anyway. We might be seeing self-driving trucks on the road pretty soon, though. Google wants to change the commercial trucking industry. Right now, there are over 3 million truck drivers in the US, so adding self-driving trucks would likely take away a lot of jobs. But many drivers might still be able to accompany their trucks and get a full night's sleep in the process. ,F: Truck drivers cause a lot of accidents on the freeway, so I think I'd like to see self-driving trucks. It would make me feel safer on the road. ,M: Really? I think it might make me feel less safe. A human driver is much more likely to react quickly to something unexpected.
(A) F: I am not agree with you, I don't think they are safer. (B) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) F: I am not excited by their speed because I think they are not safe at all. (D) F: Are you serious? I don't understand why you feel scared by them.

SOLUTION: D

PROBLEM: M: Thank you for calling the Hillside Gallery. How can I help you? ,F: Hello. Is there a photography exhibition this weekend? ,M: Yes, there is. ,F: How much is the ticket? ,M: Tickets for the gallery are 10 pounds and half price for children, but this includes the painting exhibitions, too. If you only want to see the photography exhibition, it's 7 pounds per person, with half price for children, too. ,F: The gallery's on Flower Street, isn't it? ,M: No, we moved to a different building last year. Our present address is 25 Gardenia Road. It's opposite to the Town Square. ,F: Oh, I see. Does the number 25 bus go by it? ,M: Yes, but I suggest you not take a bus or drive here. You will be stuck in a traffic jam at weekends on this street. The underground is easy and fast.
(A) F: Sure, I will take the bus there as you suggested since it's faster and cheaper. (B) F: I hate traffic jam. In that case, I shall take the underground to go to your gallery. (C) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (D) F: So you think it's better driving there since neither bus nor subway goes there.

SOLUTION: B

PROBLEM: F: Is the weather in San Francisco so bad all the time in the fall? ,M: Yeah, but this is a typical autumn. It gets worse though, at least it's not raining that much.
(A) F: Why does San Francisco rain so much in the autumn? (B) F: Oh, I didn't know that the fall in San Francisco is that bad. (C) F: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that? (D) F: So the fall in San Francisco is great but the summer is bad, isn't?
