M: Why don't you have some of my cake, Sue? I made it just for this party. ,F: Sorry, Bill, I'm not in the cake at the moment. I thought you knew about my diet. ,M: On your birthday? Surely you can eat whatever you want on your birthday. You can start your diet tomorrow. And anyway, you look great. ,F: Well, thanks, Bill. I am not on a diet to lose weight, actually. My doctor told me to stop eating certain foods. I'm trying to avoid being allergic to something. ,M: I didn't know food could help with that. I also notice you didn't eat any of the sandwiches Jill brought. ,F: Yeah, and you and Tom and Shellin all brought different cakes. I'm dying to try them. ,M: Why don't I go get you a salad? I'm sure you'll feel better if you eat something. ,F: All right, it's the only thing here I can eat. What I really want is some hot soup. ,M: Why don't I go and get some soup from the restaurant across the street for you? ,F: That's awfully nice of you. But I'm enjoying my party. Maybe we could go afterwards.
(A) M: So, you are not enjoying your party? Since you really want a salad, we can get it from the restaurant across the street. (B) M: OK, I see. You really want some hot soup! (C) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) M: Oh, I see. You really want some hot soup. And I think I can go and get some soup from the restaurant across the bridge for you.
