Question

Identify the best dialogue to complete the conversation:
Doctor: Hello Dave, so how are you feeling today?
Dave: Hello! Not too good, I'm afraid. I haven't been able to sleep very well the past few days.
Doctor: I see, and why do you think that is?
Dave: _______________

• A. Well, I recently got promoted and have a lot more work lately.
• B. I work very hard and stay up late.
• C. The reason for my lack of sleep is that I have too much work to do.
• D. No reason.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Well, I recently got promoted and have a lot more work lately.

The correct dialogue is Option A. Dave mentions about his promotion and that he is over-worked to the Doctor. The use of pronoun and the alignment of tense is also correct.

Option B is incorrect as the response sounds like a regular routine work and not a problem.

Option C is incorrect as the response is formal and indirect for the context.

Option D is incorrect as the response is abrupt and inappropriate.
