Part 2. Example
Seller: hi
Buyer: Hello
Seller: do you care to make an offer?
Buyer: The place sounds nice, but may be a little more than I can afford
Seller: well how much can you soend?
Buyer: I was looking for something in the 1500-1600 range
Seller: That is really unreasonable considering all the immenities and other going rates, you would need to come up to at least 3000
Buyer: I have seen some 2 bedrooms for that price, which I could split the cost with a roommate, so even with amenities, this may be out of my range
Seller: it may be then... the absolute lowest i will go is 2700. that is my final offer.
Buyer: Ok, I think the most I could spend on this is 2000 - we are a ways apart
Seller: ya that is far too low like i said 2700
Buyer: Ok, thanks for your consideration. I will have to keep looking for now.
Seller: good luck
Answer: housing
Explanation: The answer 'housing' is correct because a house is being talked about which is indicated by the mention of 'bedrooms' and 'amenities' which are words that are both related to housing.
Part 3. Exercise
Seller: Hello
Buyer: Hello
Seller: I'm selling a wooden full sized Futon with 2 slip covers for $125. I take it you are interested?
Buyer: Yes, I am. I'd like to make an offer of $75 and I will pick up the item.
Seller: $75 is too low. I just bought this item and haven't even used it. The reason I am selling it is that it doesn't fit in the area that I wanted to put it. I'll throw in some brand new pillows and I'll deliver it to your place for $125
Buyer: I am willing to go to $90 because it is a used couch, and I cannot see what the futon looks like completely as it is covered in the photo presented. I'd be willing to skip out on the slip covers and I do not need any pillows. I am still able to pick up at this price.
Seller: I'll go for that. You come get it where it is located at an amazing price of $90!
