(man) : I thought that the meal was overpriced.
(woman) : Me, too
(narrator) : What does the woman mean?
In your test book, you read:
(A) There were too many spices in the meat.
(B) She has the same opinion of the meal as the man.
(C) She wants to share the man’s meal.
(D) The price of the meal was great.
The expression me, too shows agreement with a positive statement, so the
woman means that she has the same opinion as the man. The best answer
is therefore answer (B).
