Question

Complete the dialogue with a suitable sentence:
A: _______________________________________

B: Yes, please. Can I give you the money now?

a) Will you lend me the money?
b) Will you buy some fruit on the way back home?
c) Shall we go to the opera tonight?
d) Shall I get you a ticket for the Madonna concert?

Answer 1

Hint: Statement B shows an agreement to an offer given.

Complete step by step answer:
Option a ‘Will you lend me the money?’ does not make sense as the following dialogue in relation to the first one as statement b contains the word ‘please’ which signifies that the person saying the first dialogue is helping the person saying the second one. So, the option doesn’t make sense and hence is incorrect.
Option b ‘Will you buy some fruit on the way back home?’ doesn’t make sense because if person A is asking person B to buy fruits, why will person B offer money to him? So, this option is incorrect.
Option c ‘Shall we go to the opera tonight?’ is more of a suggestion, an expression of idea. The appropriate answer to this should be ‘Yes, okay’ or something related. The following sentence of asking to hand over the money doesn’t make sense. So, this option is incorrect.
Option d ‘Shall I get you a ticket for the Madonna concert?’ is the correct option. Person A is offering help to Person B and in order to get the tickets, Person B needs to give Person A the amount to buy the ticket and hence this dialogue perfectly suits the situation. So, this option is correct.

Note: To create a dialogue, the situation must be understood and the reply of the other character should be analysed to present such a dialogue so that the reply of the other character logically follows.
