Question

Read the given dialogue and answer the question that follows.

Davy: "Every pancake made by my mother is lip snacking."

Jones: "That's not true. Many pancakes made by your father are also very lip snacking."

What did Jones apparently. assume regarding Davy's statement?

A.

Davy's mother make lip-snacking pancakes.

B.

Davy's father is good for nothing.

C.

Some of the pancakes made by Davy's mother are not lip smacking.

D.

Only Davy's mother make lip-smacking pancakes.

Correct option is D

  1. Davy's statement:
    "Every pancake made by my mother is lip-smacking."

    • Davy claims that all pancakes made by his mother are delicious.
  2. Jones's response:
    "That's not true. Many pancakes made by your father are also very lip-smacking."

    • Jones challenges Davy's statement, suggesting that lip-smacking pancakes are not exclusive to Davy's mother, as Davy's father also makes delicious pancakes.  

Explanation of the options:

  1. Option A: Davy's mother makes lip-smacking pancakes.

    • This is true but does not capture Jones's assumption. Jones does not dispute that Davy's mother makes good pancakes but challenges the exclusivity of her skill.
      This option is incorrect.
  2. Option B: Davy's father is good for nothing.

    • This is completely unrelated to the dialogue. Jones actually praises Davy's father by mentioning his ability to make lip-smacking pancakes.
      This option is incorrect.
  3. Option C: Some of the pancakes made by Davy's mother are not lip-smacking.

    • Jones does not challenge the quality of Davy's mother's pancakes. His response is about who else can make delicious pancakes, not whether Davy's mother's pancakes are consistently good.
      This option is incorrect.
  4. Option D: Only Davy's mother makes lip-smacking pancakes.

    • Davy's statement implies exclusivity by focusing only on his mother. Jones's response assumes that Davy meant that no one else, including Davy's father, can make lip-smacking pancakes. This is why Jones refutes the exclusivity.
      This option is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d): Only Davy's mother makes lip-smacking pancakes.
