Problem:F: Good morning, Powernet Software. Can I help you? ,M: Hi, I've been trying to order some of your software from the website, but there seems to be a problem, because my order didn't go through. ,F: Oh. I'm sorry about that, Sir. There was a problem with the site this morning. That's probably why you had some difficulty. ,M: Would it be possible for me to place my order through you now? I don't want to wait until tomorrow as I'll be out seeing customers. ,F: OK, now then. What would you like to order from us? ,M: Your site had a great sale on something called Viva Voce. The price was $180.25 percent off the normal price. ,F: Well, I'm afraid that price is only available for those of our customers who order through our site, you'd pay $240. ,M: I just tried to order through your site, and as I told you, the sale wouldn't go through. Can't you give me that discount anyway? ,F: Yeah, I think that would be alright.
(A) M: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that? (B) M: With a discount, I still have to pay $240, right? Here is my card. (C) M: So there's no sale even on the website and I have to pay $250? (D) M: You mean I can't have a website discount? I pay the original $180.
