Question

B5. Do you think the writer should have told the guest that he could not afford asparagus?
Explain.​

Answer 1

Yes. The author should have told the lady friend that he can't afford such an expensive lunch.

Why the woman was ordering expensive dishes?

• The woman was self-centered and did not care for the author's budget.
• The author was really worried as asparagus was quite expensive in that restaurant.
• She was mean and rude towards him and embarrassed him for choosing meat for lunch.
• That's why the author should have stopped her instead of paying such a large amount of money for a selfish woman.
