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:
M: Wow, this dance is surely cool. There are so many people here. Ah, what's your name? ,F: Susan, Susan Dors. You really don't know who I am? You sit behind me in geography class. ,M: Oh yeah, you're right. I guess I'm just used to looking at the back of your head, not your face. ,F: Are you OK? You're so nervous. ,M: I'm sorry for my strange behavior. I don't know why I pretended I didn't know who you were. I just didn't know how to start the conversation. ,F: That's OK. It's refreshing to talk to somebody who's actually honest for once, so do you like this music? ,M: Not really. I prefer rock and roll mostly. But I like to listen to blues when I'm alone. Anything but this pop stuff. ,F: Oh my gosh. I totally agree. I thought I was the only one.
(A) M: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (B) M: You are not alone. By the way, the pop playing at the dance sounds awful. (C) M: No, you are not the only. Anyway, I like the blues playing at the dance. (D) M: But I really don't like the rock and roll playing at the dance.

question:
F: I think I should use the bathroom before we go. It's a long drive to the countryside. ,M: Yes, but there are plenty of rest stops along the highway. ,F: I know. I guess this is why driving is much more convenient than taking a bus or train.
(A) M: There is no rest stop along the way. It would be too tired for you. I'll drive. (B) M: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that? (C) M: Which bus should we take? (D) M: We take the train to the countryside. I've booked the tickets.
answer:
B

question:
M: Cindy, the date of the computer meeting has been set for next Tuesday. Could you do me a favor and call the hotel to book a room? ,F: Sure, I will take care of it right away. But what are you going to do about the appointment you had planned with Mr. Nolan? Do you want me to call him and cancel? ,M: Oh, I completely forgot all about him. You know, I can't miss this appointment with him. It's too important. On second thought, I think I'd better send Sally to New York to attend the meeting. She's been working on the speech with me for a long time, and she should be able to give the speech in my place. ,F: You're right.
(A) M: Why do you think I am wrong? I think Mr. Nolan should give the speech in New York! (B) M: Yeah, I think I cannot send Sally to New York because Cindy should give the speech in New York! (C) M: Yeah, Sally's been working on the speech with me for a long time and she should give the speech in New York! (D) M: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that?
