M: My grandma was killed in a car accident last week. May I ask for absence for several days? I have to go back home.
W: So sorry to hear that. That must inflict lots of pain on you as I myself once experienced it.
Q: What does the woman mean?

W: One more thing needs to be settled. What should we buy for tomorrow’s party, beer or wine?
M: Beer will do. We can’t afford wine for so many people. You know, our budget is limited to $500 only and we also have to prepare gifts for each guest.
Q: Why does the man choose beer?
