M: Oh, hi, this book is due today, and I am not quite finished with it [12]Is it possible to get it renewed?
W: Hmmm, French Art & Architecture of the 19th century. I’ll have to check to see if that’s possible. Can I have the book and your library card please?
M: Sure, here you are. I just need it for a few more days if possible.
W: Well, first of all this book is one week late, and not due today as you thought. It appears you have your dates mixed up.
M: Oh. Gosh!
W: [14]There are also a few requests for this book so it is now on hold for the next person. Now there’s a small fine on your card of $1.40 for the overdue book, would you like to pay this today?
M: Umm, so if I pay the fine today, can I take this book out again?
W: [13]You won’t be able to take this book out again until all the other people who have placed holds on it have signed it out. Did you want to pay your fine today?
M: Have you already processed the return on the book? [12]I hope to keep it for a few more days. I really need it to study. The exam is in two days and this is practically the course text book.
W: Sorry, I have already signed it back in and now the book is on hold. In fact if I could, I would triple your fines and suspend your library privileges. It’s not fair to all the other students who are also trying to access library material for study purpose. Perhaps you should think of the other people who also need this book to study. [15]Now are you going to pay your fine today?
M: [15]QK. Sorry.

14. Why is the book on hold now?
15. What is the man likely to do next?
