PROBLEM: M: Well, any luck? Did you see Buster anywhere? ,F: No, I couldn't find him either. I drove all around the neighborhood. I circled our block 3 times, hoping he'll show up. No such luck. I'm sorry, Ben. ,M: It's not your fault. I shouldn't have left the door open. I hope we'll find him. He is such a huge part of our family. He walks with Lily to school every morning. ,F: I'm sure we'll find him. Ben, I remember when I lost my dog, Spot. We looked for 10 hours and finally we just gave up. Not long after we got home, Spot showed up at our front door. They know how to get home, Ben. They always do. ,M: I hope you're right, Lucy. Maybe he'll show up before it gets dark. I just hope he's OK.
(A) F: I believe Buster will find his way home, just like what my Spot managed to do. (B) F: My best wishes for Buster, but my dog Spot never showed up after getting lost. (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: My only dog, Forest, was lost when I was little, but we found him after 2 hours.
