Problem: M: No, it's free, I think. W: Right, I'll take it. Here I am. I thought I'd never make it. M: What, catching the plane? W: Yes, my brother insisted on driving out to the airport. The traffic was terrible, there being an accident or something. M: I always travel on the airport bus. I know you waste a certain amount of time waiting around doing nothing. But at least you're certain that you'll be on time for the plane. W: You're right. Better late than never. But of course, better never late. I try to make it at exactly 11 o'clock. That's when our flight is supposed to take off. M: See they are starting to check on the seat belts. I suppose it won't be long now. W: The take-off is the only interesting thing about flight, in my opinion. M: Well, I don't know. Landing can have its moment especially when the weather is bad. W: Oh, that reminds me. The weather report this morning said sunny and warm. I don't see any clouds. So we'll be fine. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: Excuse me, is that seat taken?
Problem: Given the question: W: I didn't come because I was sick. M: You still look a little sick. You ought to go back to bed. W: I am going home now. M: Did you drive today? W: Oh, No, I don't have a car. M: I can take you home. Would you like a ride? W: Yes. Thanks a lot. Could you stop at the chemist's on the way? I need to buy some medicine.

The answer is:
M: Hi! Nice to meet you, Nancy! Where were you yesterday?
input question: W: Sure. What are you handing these out for? M: Well, we're trying to gather some volunteers for the day care center. W: Uh... M: It's OK. You don't have to volunteer if you eat the candies. W: I'm just playing around. Actually, I have some free time in the mornings after I go jogging. What exactly do you need? M: It's wide open right now, everything from playground assistants to diaper changers. W: Oh, I might pass on the latter. But spending some time on the playground with some small kids might be fun. M: Well, you're quite warm-hearted. I haven't even mentioned the benefits but you're volunteering. W: Oh, well, what are the benefits? M: Well, since you said you'd be likely to take a morning shift, there would be a free breakfast personally prepared by the cook. W: Great! What was said before this conversation????

M: Bye. But where are you going? W: The bank, the supermarket and... M: Will you buy an exercise book for me? W: I guess so. But I'll go to the post office first before I go to the supermarket. M: Can you also buy me a pen? The one you gave me last week doesn't work now. W: How come? M: It fell off the desk and was broken. W: Can you be more careful with your things? M: Ok. Oh. Can you wait a second? W: What for? M: You are going to the post office, right? W: Yes, so what? M: Here's a letter for Sam. Can you post it? What was said before this conversation?
