Question

12 the third paragraph suggests that: a the husband would like to draw attention to himself b the wife is in control of the relationship. c the husband overreacts to being embarrassed. d the head waiter is conspiring against the wife.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to analyze the implications of the third paragraph (not provided here, but we can reason about typical reading comprehension logic). Let's evaluate each option:

• Option A: There’s no typical indication in such contexts that a husband in a relationship - focused scenario would aim to draw attention to himself (this is less likely without specific text support).
• Option B: If the third paragraph shows dynamics where the wife has decision - making power, sets the tone, or guides the relationship’s direction (common in some relationship - based passages), this could be correct.
• Option C: Overreacting to embarrassment would require text showing extreme responses, which is less likely as a default inference without specific cues.
• Option D: A head waiter conspiring against the wife is an extreme and unlikely scenario in most reading passages.

Answer:

B. The wife is in control of the relationship.
