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:
F: Gosh, we've been waiting for ages? What's the matter? ,M: Who knows? It always leaves on time more or less. But in the middle of winter, you have to expect the delay here sometimes. In fact, the trains also sometimes get delayed by snow on the lines or the planes by fog on the runway. Actually, it's probably rain that's holding up things for us right now.
(A) F: Yes, the rain may be the reason that the trains get delayed. (B) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (C) F: It's probably flog that's holding up things for us right now. (D) F: The weather forecast says the rain has stopped.
answer:
A

question:
F: Oh, it's so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot in there. I thought I melt. ,M: Terrible, wasn't it? Well, what did you think of Madame Curie? Do you think it is as good as the review said? ,F: It's a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film. ,M: Yes, but you couldn't possibly fit everything that happens in a 200 page novel into a 2 hour film. There simply isn't the time. ,F: I know, but the director should at least try to follow the story. With this film, he left out some important people and even changed the end. ,M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
(A) F: He did. His film is far more realistic than the book. I like it. (B) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) F: Obviouesly, the book is better than the film, though he changed nothing. (D) F: He might. But I still like the original book than the film.
answer:
D

question:
M: Hey Susan, how's it going? ,F: Terrible. I'm really unhappy at Pat the house owner. When I came home yesterday the front door was wide open the cat was hiding in the closet and there was Pat. He came to change the pipe but he didn't even tell me that he was coming. He does this all the time. Last month, one day I was throwing a dinner party for 8 people. When I went out for a minute to buy some wine Pat came to repair the broken light in my bedroom. I nearly had a heart attack when I walked in and found him there.
(A) M: Yes, your house owner is so bad. Do you want to change a house? (B) M: Yes, your house owner is really nice. By the way, how is your party going? (C) M: I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you say it again? (D) M: What a bad housing conditions you have! Luckily, your house owner is really good.
