⏰ Day 15 Warm-Up — Problem & Next Step

1 dialogue · 3 questions · auto-graded

Almost every conversation has a problem and a next step. Read, then answer.

Student: Hi, I'm supposed to give my presentation on Thursday, but I just found out I have a medical appointment that morning. Is there any way to reschedule?
Professor: Hmm, Thursday's slots are full. But I do have an opening on Friday afternoon — would that work?
Student: Friday afternoon is perfect, thank you. Should I email you the new slides beforehand?
Professor: No need to email them — just bring them on a USB drive and we'll load them in class.

Q1 · The problem

Why does the student come to the professor?

A) She wants to change her presentation topic B) She has a scheduling conflict with her presentation time C) She lost her slides

The problem, stated early: a medical appointment clashes with the Thursday presentation.

Q2 · The resolution

What do they agree to do?

A) Cancel the presentation B) Keep the Thursday slot C) Move the presentation to Friday afternoon

The resolution/next step: the professor offers Friday afternoon and the student accepts.

Q3 · The next step

How should the student bring her slides?

A) On a USB drive, to load in class B) By email before Friday C) Printed on paper

Listen to the end: the professor says "just bring them on a USB drive." A trap answer (email) was explicitly rejected.
