Alan: Hey, did you get the e-mail about the meeting tomorrow?
Tom: Yeah, I did. I'm looking forward to it.
Alan: Actually, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it. I must stay home and trim my cat's fur.
Tom: Seriously? That's your excuse?
Alan: I know, and I feel terrible about missing it. But my cat is really overdue for a haircut.
Tom: I'm sorry, but that's a ridiculous excuse. You're letting the rest of the team down by not attending the meeting.
Which is correct?
AAlan did not forward the e-mail to Tom.
BAlan's cat was in the hospital for a haircut.
CAlan's excuse was not reasonable to Tom.正確答案
DAlan asked Tom to attend the meeting for him.

秒殺技巧
抓關鍵句『that's a ridiculous excuse』→ 直接對應 C 的 not reasonable。
逐選項分析
A✕
對話開頭 Tom 說『Yeah, I did』表示他有收到 email，所以 Alan（或主辦方）有寄信給 Tom，並非沒轉寄。此選項與對話事實不符。
B✕ 陷阱
Alan 說要『stay home and trim my cat's fur』(待在家幫貓剪毛)，並非貓在醫院剪毛。此為混淆地點的陷阱選項。
C✓ 正確
Tom 明確說『that's a ridiculous excuse』(那是荒謬的藉口)，ridiculous = not reasonable，正是本題答案的同義改寫。
D✕
對話中 Alan 只是表達自己無法出席並感到抱歉，並未請 Tom 代為出席會議。文中無此資訊。

陷阱提醒
對話理解題常考「說話者對某事的態度」而非事件本身。Tom 說 ridiculous 是在評價 Alan 拿「幫貓剪毛」當缺席理由很扯,關鍵是抓到這個情緒判斷詞。最常錯的地方是被細節拉走:看到「貓」「剪毛」就急著找有這些字的選項,忽略題目真正問的是 Tom 的看法。判斷準則:先看問句主詞是誰(Tom),再找他的評價用詞(ridiculous = 荒謬),別被事件細節的相似字眼騙走。
