Question

Marnie just finished setting herself up at a cozy spot at the airport. Her laptop is ready, phone within reach, and her papers are organized, but now, she's hungry. What should she do? a) Take her phone and laptop with her to get something to eat b) Leave her stuff, but get a snack really quickly O c) Put her coat over her laptop to hide it and go get a snack O d) Ask the person next to her to watch her stuff

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A)

Take her phone and laptop with her to get something to eat

=======================================================

Explanation:

It's always a good idea to keep a close watch on your stuff in a public place like an airport. This is for 2 reasons:

1. You don't want your stuff stolen and/or damaged
2. You don't want anyone to mistake your stuff for a security threat (unfortunately we are in the age of post 9/11 where such a thing is a valid concern)

So that's why choice A is the best answer here.

Choice B and C are bad ideas, because of the items mentioned above. Choice D could work but Marnie would have to trust that stranger, which may be a very bad idea. Ideally the stranger would be trustworthy, but there's no way of her knowing for sure. So it's better to go on the side of caution and rule out choice D.
