Q: "I can show you. I'm going that way."
P: "________________."

• A. I am lucky to have met you
• B. Really? That's very kind of you
• C. But then hurry up. I am getting late for an appointment
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Really? That's very kind of you

In this conversation, Q offers to help P. Hence, the appropriate response would be one where P thanks Q and appreciates him for the offer of help.

In option A, instead of appreciating Q for the help, P moves the focus of the conversation to himself and talks about him being lucky to have met Q. This is not an appropriate way of thanking Q. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B: Here, the speaker conveys his appreciation of Q for having offered to help him. This is a polite and appropriate response and option B is correct.

Option C: Here, the speaker does not even thank Q for offering to help. He has assumed it is a matter of fact and is being rude by asking Q to hurry up. This is an inappropriate response and option C is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect as both options A and C are incorrect.
