C. Allan likes Eileen, but he is afraid of speaking to her.Explanation
Allan's fear of speaking to Eileen is the problem in this story. This fear is preventing him from inviting Shirley to watch a movie and potentially pursuing a romantic relationship with Eileen.

Allan waited for Eileen at...
- A.
Entrance of the cinema.
- B.
In front of the cinema.
- C.
Her house.
Correct Answer
B. In front of the cinema.Explanation
Allan waited for Eileen in front of the cinema because it is the most logical and common place to wait for someone when meeting at a specific location. It is a common practice to wait in front of the cinema when meeting someone there, as it is easily identifiable and convenient for both parties. Waiting at the entrance of the cinema could also be a possible option, but "in front of the cinema" is a more specific and accurate answer. Waiting at Eileen's house is not a likely option as there is no indication in the question that Allan was supposed to meet her there.Rate this question:
