Try the first question

This is the lesson's opening question. It's free to play.

At a weekend farmers market, two guys stop at the same handmade-earring stall, one after the other, and say the exact same thing to the woman running it: "Did you make these yourself?" The first stands close, talks fast and rushes into his next line. The second stands an arm's length from the table, speaks at an easy volume, and stops to let her answer.

Same words. Which one is she more likely to want to answer, and why?
