Answer 1

Hint: Imagine yourself in this situation and guess what will come next. The person is asking for a huge order. This will make a difference in the answer.

Complete answer:
 Conversations are very rooted in the context of the situation. We need to understand exactly what is happening here. It is important to understand that this takes place in a cafeteria. This means that the person is likely ordering food. ‘Harry’ places a huge order, which is clearly not for one person. This means that the next question that the boy asks should be something relevant.

Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s look through the given options-
a) here or to go - This response is asking Harry whether he would like it to go or would he prefer to eat in the cafeteria itself. This is a relevant question and fits into the given situation. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
b) hot or cold - This response is asking Harry whether he would like his food hot or cold. Since there are multiple orders including some beverages, this question is not relevant. This does not fit into the given situation. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c) in a box - This response is asking Harry whether he would like his food in a box. Since there are multiple orders including beverages, this question is not relevant. This does not fit into the given situation. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
d) for one or two - This response is asking Harry whether he would like his food for one or two. Since this information would not make a difference, this question is not relevant. This does not fit into the given situation. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note:
Try to understand the exact meaning of the sentences given. it is important to familiarise yourself with the situation and then think about which option is the best fit. Then, choose the required option accordingly.
