I was helping my wife with her English lesson and we came across the following exercise which has me stumped. The idea is to number the phrazes in correct sequential order with #1 given but it seems that there are two possible #2s. Anyone have the solution?
Do you mean that long one?
What do you mean?
I guess you're right. It's time to go shopping. Can you come with me? I don't like to go shopping alone.
Well do you have any formal cloths to match them?
1.Hey Susan.Look at my new pair of high healed-shoes.
Yes, that one.But that's it. I don't have any other formal shoes.
They're nice but aren't they a bit formal?
I have a black dress.
Sure!
Why don't you buy a suit or something?
Great I owe you one.

What other one did you think was a possibility?

Actually I think it was the "what do you mean" was throwing us off now that I see your tidy arrangement. Thank you.
