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
Buyer: Hello. Are you still selling the bike?
Seller: I've had a few offers, but I'm willing to see what you have to say
Buyer: How old is the bike and what kind of condition is it in?
Seller: It's a vintage, so it has a great personality! Haha it's actually in great condition, I was never really able to use it much
Buyer: Okay and it has also been repainted right?
Seller: Yes, I got it professionally done
Buyer: That's good but with the original paint it would be worth more. Would you sell it for 140?
Seller: That's pretty low. Even sanded down, this bike is worth 190. Lowest I can go is 200 with what I put into it already (mods and painting)
Buyer: Modifying it actually decreases the value too, customizing something makes it worth less you don't just add on the cost of custom parts. That takes away any value it had as a vintage item.
Seller: Hmm, well it sounds like you probably aren't interested then. As a non-vintage bike, it's worth 200. The vintage should add on to it. Lowest I'll go is 180 if you pick it up.
