In this task, you will be shown a conversation and a question. You need to write an implausible answer to the question. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".

[EX Q]: M: Hello? W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Hanson, Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with. M: Sure, Paula. What's up? W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall,on the west side of town. Any way, we've been happy with it until the past couple of months. M: Yeah. What happened? W: Well,the dishwasher broken down,so we reported it to Ms. Corners,the owner. She said she'd take care of it, but a month went by and nothing happened. M: Did you get back in touch with her? W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate,and then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her,I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check. M: So what's the problem? W: She called here madly. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now, she's threatening to expel us for not paying the full rent. M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out. W: Well,you're over at the law school. So, I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Corners. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight. M: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet,but I'll be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by about 7:30? W: Thanks Sam. You are our lifesaver., Question: What are Paula and her roommate planning to do?
[EX A]: To buy a new dishwasher.

[EX Q]: M: That's it! I've had it with this TV! We need to get a new one. The signal is so bad. It's ridiculous. All of our friends have nice TVs. It's high time we joined them. W: You don't want to get one of those 3D TVs, do you? M: Well, I'm not sure. All I know is that I want something with a big screen,and the most important thing is a clear picture. W: Oh, you mean like the one our neighbor bought the other day? M: Yeah. They have fantastic sound, too. W: This all sounds a little expensive to me. I'm not sure if we have the money, even if we didn't go on vacation. M: Hey, look at this ad in the paper! They're having a special sale on TVs. This one is only $300! And even the biggest ones are only $500. W: Well, I think we can afford that. Let's go check out that sale!, Question: Why does the man mention his friends?
[EX A]: They just got a new TV.

[EX Q]: A: Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you have time to answer a few questions? B: What's it about? A: We're doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years' time. B: OK, why not? A: Lovely, we'll just work through this form. And if we could start with some personal background information. B: Sure. A: Right, if I could just have your age... B: 35. A: Right, great. And your job? B: Systems analyst, but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what. A: What do you think? B: OK, it's more like business. A: Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank. B: No, I don't mind. It's 40,000 a year. A: Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits..., what would you say is your main reason for watching TV? B: Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A: Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV? B: Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour. A: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? B: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late eleven or even midnight- when I've finished work. A: And what sort of programmes do you go for? B: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. A: Fine. And turning to the new channel..., which type of programmes would you like to see more of? B: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information..., you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers..., you know, good quality stuff. A: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them? B: I think I'd advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers. A: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable! B: Certainly... yeah. A: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts? B: Well, out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last tot ten minutes each time! A: Quite. And would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel? B: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area. A: OK, I'll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list? B: Well, I'd prefer not..., except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. A: Can I have your name and address? B: Of course ... here's my card. A: Oh, lovely..., and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you. B: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks., Question: The respondent has a salary of ______.
[EX A]:
15,000 a year
