Part 2. Example
M: Excuse me. How much is this suit? ,F: It's on sale today for $750. It's normally $900. ,M: Wow, that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be 4 or 500. ,F: This material is imported from Italy. It's the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about $2000. ,M: Uh-hah. But isn't that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that it was too expensive. ,F: It's possible that the suit you saw was the same color is this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think there are the lowest anywhere in the city.
(A) M: Okay, I'll buy it at the price you want. Here, it's $600. (B) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (C) M: Although the material is imported from France, it is not worth the $750 you want. (D) M: You want $900 for the suit? It's too expensive!
Answer: B

M: They should be a great show. Let's go in. ,F: Sure. Say, did you bring my book? ,M: Oh, I completely forgot it. ,F: You forgot? But you promised. I needed to study for the test. Oh, I knew I never should have lent it to you. ,M: Calm down, Melber. After the show, we can drive by my house and pick it up.
(A) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (B) F: I think so. Though I don't need it as the test is over, I promised to give it away. (C) F: We must do so. It won't be so troublesome if you remembered to take my book. (D) F: I know it's my fault that I forgot to bring your book, darling. Please calm down.
