    • They should ask the server for a lower price.

    Think about sharing the cost.

    Show solution

    • Exchanging phone numbers before talking again.
    • Ending all contact immediately.

    Morgan suggests continuing the conversation in a particular place.

    Show solution

    • Continuing to chat on the app without sharing a phone number.

    "For now" describes a current choice. It does not necessarily mean the choice will stay the same forever.

    • talk to
    • like someone

    What does Robin mean?

    Robin: "You're different from what I expected—in a good way."

    • The other person is exactly as Robin expected.
    • The other person is a pleasant surprise.
    • Robin is disappointed by the difference.

    The final phrase tells you how Robin feels about the surprise.

    Show solution

    • The other person is a pleasant surprise.

    On its own, "different" could sound negative, so "in a good way" makes it clear that Robin means it as a compliment.

    • Saturday is possible, but Riley has not confirmed it.

    Notice the difference between a possibility and a definite plan.

    Show solution

    • Saturday is possible, but Riley has not confirmed it.

    "Might" leaves the plan uncertain, while "get back to you" promises a later reply with more information.
