The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her. Here is another case. Two friends decide to telephone Mary. Jack: "Let's telephone Mary. It's 10 0'clock." Jill: "No. It's too late. She will be asleep now." Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock, so now she'll probably be asleep. But it is also possible that she is staying up late. Options: A knows that Mary has gone to bed B doesn't know whether Mary is asleep C is sure that Mary cannot answer the telephone D thinks it's possible that Mary cannot answer the telephone Answer: D thinks it's possible that Mary cannot answer the telephone Question:
