Exercise 1
After , Reed Fountainjot becomes curious about .
After answering questions related to his washing machine 1, Reed Fountainjot becomes curious about the origin and location of the customer service representative 2.
1 answering questions related to his washing machine: This is the best choice. Reed answers several questions about his washing machine regarding "the make and model, when and where he bought it, and whether it is still under warranty".
1 giving personal details about his age and ethnicity: Reed does not give any details to the customer service representative about his age or ethnicity. He speaks only of his washing machine, and actually asks the girl questions of his own.
1 struggling to use his telephone: Reed writes that he "pressed the star key" to contact an operator. This doesn't express that he "struggled" to use his telephone. Also, this choice doesn't express the CAUSE or REASON why Reed is curious about the representative's origins. In this context, to "struggle (to do something)" means to progress with difficulty, for example: I struggled to use my new mobile phone, because I didn't have the instructions.
1 prancing around his apartment like a wood nymph: There is no indication that Reed enjoys this sort of thing. If he does, he gives no indication in his article that this is the case. "Wood nymphs" for those that don't know are mythical creatures that live in forests and like dancing, the ancient Greeks write about them a lot.
2 the origin and location of the customer service representative: This is the best choice here. Reed poses three questions to the phone representative: "What's your name?, 'How old are you?, 'Where are you right now?" indicating his curiosity about the girl's origin and location.
2 the status of his malfunctioning washing machine: Reed does not ask any questions about the status of his washing machine. It is the girl who asks Fountainjot questions about the washing machine.
2 the customer service representative's difficulties with the English language: Reed's questions are unrelated to the girl's English language abilities. Also, Reed writes that she is "proficient" in English (she speaks English well), so she does not have many "difficulties".
2 the customer service representative's opinion on globalization: Reed's questions are not nearly as profound as this choice indicates. Reed simply wants to know the girl's name and how old she is.
