Answer 1

Hint: A reply is to make an answer in words or writing or to respond to a question by words or to respond by some action or performance.

Complete step by step answer:

Here the speaker is asking a question and the listener has to reply to something among the four options provided and all the options are a negative response. Among which option B: “You had better ask somebody else” is a rude statement and cannot be the best answer and thus is not the correct option. Similarly, option D: “I don’t know” is also a rude response and cannot be the best reply, thus it is also an incorrect option.

Among the provided options, option A: “I haven’t heard of this hotel” and option C: “I’m sorry, I’m not from here” can be the correct but if someone has never heard of someplace then there are more chances of that person not being a native of that place. Therefore, option C is the correct option and the most logical negative response among the provided option.

Note:
Your reply could be a long quotation from a Shakespeare soliloquy, or it might be a simple, silent nod of the head.
