instruction:
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.
question:
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.
answer:
D


question:
F: What do you think about this idea? Going for a picnic. ,M: Well, I'm not sure, I think it's a bit boring. I think barbecue on the beach would be more fun. ,F: Yes, I agree, but it's quite a lot of work. Someone has to stand here and cook all night. I think we should go to a restaurant instead. ,M: That's true, but it's quite expensive to go to a restaurant. ,F: Well, what about having a party at someone's house? We could order a pizza or just some hamburgers. ,M: I suppose so, I think a fancy dress party is a good idea. We could have a competition and decide who is wearing the best clothes.
(A) F: I agree with you. Having a picnic is the best idea. (B) F: Yeah. We should have a barbecue on the beach. (C) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) F: Yeah. We will have a fancy dress party and a barbecue.
answer:
C


question:
F: Can I help you? ,M: Yes, so when is the next train to New York City? ,F: Let me see, the train to New York City. Here it is, daily except Sunday, at 10:30, 12:20 and 3:10.
(A) M: I can't take the train to New York City on Saturday. (B) M: Since there is no train to New York City on Sunday, I will fly there. (C) M: So there's no train to New York City on Sunday, but two on each of the rest days. Let me think which one to take. (D) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it.
