Problem: Read the below conversation. 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. What would the listener say?

A: M: That's OK.

M: Oh dear, how thoughtful you are!
input question: Read the below conversation. W: Waiter! I'd like to speak to the manager please... immediately if possible. M: Is anything wrong, Madam? W: I'm afraid there is. The service here has been terrible. We had to wait twenty minutes for a glass of mineral water. M: I see. Well I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is that we're a bit sort of hands at present. Two waitresses are ill. W: All right, but that's no excuse. My husband asked for goose and he was brought chicken instead. It's just unbelievable! And my beans weren't cooked properly. It wasn't a very enjoyable meal at all. M: This is most regrettable. W: Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check the bill again, please? M: I do apologize, Madam. W: I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge, or give a tip, as I don't feel satisfied with it. I'm quite disappointed as a matter of fact. M: I'll pass on your complaints to the manager right away. What would the listener say????
output answer: W: Thank you.
Read the below conversation. W: Your father and Sally have gone to get the car. Let's wait for them here on the bench. M: It's nice to sit down. We've been walking for hours. W: Did you like the White House? M: Oh, yes. I thought it was beautiful. I wanted to stay longer. W: I did, too. But we've got a lot of things to see. M: The line wasn't long this morning, was it? W: No, it wasn't. We were lucky. M: I wonder if the president and his family use the rooms we saw. They look more like a museum than somebody's house. W: Yes. They are the public rooms. The President's family lives upstairs. M: What do they use the public rooms for? W: For important affairs. The President usually entertains members of the government and visitors from other countries. M: I hope I could get a reception at the White House some time. What would the listener say?

Ronald: Well yeah. I just filled the paint can with ice and ... Receptionist: And so after you removed the paint can ... Sir, sir, Mr. Schuller, are you still there? Ronald: Well that's part of the problem. Uh, the paint can is still on my foot. What would the listener say?
A: Receptionist: Look, Mr. Schuller. Please come in today. I don't think your case can wait.
