Why is Paula unhappy?
M: Hello.
W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I’m having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
M: Sure, Paula. What’s up?
W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall? Anyway we’ve been happy with it until the past couple of months.
M: Yeah. What happened?
W: Well, the dishwasher broke down. So we reported it to Ms. Connors, the owner. She said she’d take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.
M: Did you get back in touch with her?
W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, and then I sent it to her. When I didn’t hear from her, I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.
M: So what’s the problem?
W: She called here mad as a hornet. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she’s threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent. Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors. We’re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
M: Sure. I haven’t studied a lot about contracts yet. But I’d be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don’t I stop by at about 7:30?
W: Thanks, Sam. You’re a lifesaver.
选项
A、The apartment is too far from the campus.
B、The apartment needs a lot of repair work.
C、She’s having trouble with the owner of the apartment.
D、Her roommate won’t share expenses.
答案
C
解析
本题考查原因。保拉租住的公寓里洗碗机坏了,房东迟迟不肯修理,于是她便自己修理,并将修理的费用计在了房租里。房东非常恼火,威胁说要收回房子。她就向山姆求助,请求他跟自己和室友一起去跟房主谈判。因此选项C为正确答案。
