Q: M: Waitress! I think there's something wrong with our bill. W: No, I don't think so...$10 for the drinks, 15 for the small plate, and 20 for the main dish. M: What? I knew the cheese sticks were 15. I always order cheese sticks, but I thought the main dish was $10. W: Oh, that explains it. You think the bill should be $35. M: Yes, exactly. I was wondering what happened to the rest of my change. I should have gotten back 15, not 5! W: I understand. Sometimes people aren't honest, but I think this was an honest mistake. Didn't you order the sea cucumbers for dinner? M: Yes, and they were delicious. Best cucumbers ever! I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian. W: Sir, I am so sorry. Have you ordered sea cucumbers before? They aren't vegetables, you know. M: Really? I thought it was a vegetable that grew in the ocean. W: No. They're seafood. M: Oh, no! W: I'm so sorry, sir. I assumed you understood what you were ordering. M: Actually, Jenny took my order. Maybe I can talk to her. W: She had an emergency at home. I came in to take over her tables. But I'm sure if I talk to the manager, we can give you a discount for the order. M: That's OK., Question: Why does the man think his bill was wrong? (A) He forgot he had ordered a small plate. (B) He believed his waitress was dishonest. (C) He thought he ordered a cheaper main dish.

It's supposed to be a good one, but tickets are hard to get. M: I think I'd like that. I'll meet you there at seven thirty. W: I think we should get there earlier to be sure we get tickets.
