instruction:
In this task, you will be shown a conversation and a question. You need to answer the question and choose the correct option based on the conversation. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".
question:
M: Are you going to the demonstration to help stop the spread of nuclear weapons tomorrow, Cleo? W: No, Simon. I hate demonstrations. I have heard the police will be standing by with tear gas. M: Yes, but North Korea boasts it has nuclear arms. W: One hundred ninety countries have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but the issues are just too complex. There are two sides to every story. I don't understand it and I have no intention of going to a demonstration. Demonstrations don't seem to accomplish anything anyway. M: Several demonstrations have changed politician's minds throughout history. As a responsible citizen I think it is important to stand up for what you believe in. W: Leave it to someone else. As I said, if you listen to both sides of a story, both sides have some good points. Why should I demonstrate and risk getting hurt for something that I am not even sure is right? M: You are not likely to get hurt. This will be a peaceful demonstration. I have spoken to the organizer for the university group. He insists that this will be peaceful. He advocates if you want world peace, peace begins at home-and that means right here in this city. W: You go if you want, Simon, but I plan to study for my physics exam. M: It would only take two hours of your day. The bus leaves the campus at 11:30 and leaves downtown to return to campus at 12:45. You could eat your lunch on the bus. W: I am not going, Simon. Why don't you ask the students in your political science class this afternoon if they want to go? M: They are all going. W: Okay, Simon. I need to meet my sister for coffee now. M: Bye then. See you in physics class tomorrow., Question: What do the two speakers mainly disagree upon? (A) Which country should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. (B) The time for their next coffee appointment. (C) Whether it is meaningful to go to the demonstration.
answer:
(C) Whether it is meaningful to go to the demonstration.

question:
Car Salesman: Oh. Hi there. A beauty, isn't she? Woman: Well ... Car Salesman: Do you want to take her a test ride? Woman: Well ... Um. How old is it? Car Salesman: Well, it's only three years old? Woman: And what's the mileage? Car Salesman: Uh, let me check. Oh yes. 75,000 miles. Woman: 75,000 miles? That's quite a bit for a car that's only three years old. Car Salesman: Well, once you're in the driver's seat, you'll fall in love with her. Get in. Woman: Ugh ... Uh, I can't seem to get the door open. [Ah, it's okay.] It could be broken. Car Salesman: Ah, just give her a little tap. Ugh. Now she's opened. Woman: Great. A door I have to beat up to open. Car Salesman: Hey. Get in and start her up. [Woman tries to start the car ...] Car Salesman: [Um] Well, it's probably the battery. I know she has enough gas in her, and I had our mechanic check her out just yesterday. Try it again. Woman: Uh. It sounds a little rough to me. [Well ...] How much is this minivan anyway? Car Salesman: Oh. It's a real bargain today and tomorrow only at $15,775, plus you get the extended warranty covering defects, wear, and tear beyond the normal maintenance on the vehicle for an extra $500 for the next 30,000 miles. [Oh ...] with a few minor exclusions. Woman: Like ...? Car Salesman: Well, I mean, it covers everything except for the battery, and light bulbs, and brake drums, exhaust system, trim and moldings, upholstery and carpet, paint, tires ... Well, a short list, you know. Woman: Uh. Well, almost $16,000 is a little out of my price range, plus the seats covers are torn a little. Car Salesman: Well, hey, I might be able to talk the manager into lowering the price another two hundred dollars, but that's about all. Woman: No thanks. I think I'll just keep looking., Question: What is the problem with the minivan's door? (A) It has several scratches in it. (B) It will not open properly. (C) It is missing the door handle.
answer:
(B) It will not open properly.
