    Re: can someone give the explanation

    Wow, another short conversation tough question

    Observation: This question is an inference question type. To infer means to accurately predicts from the conversation

    In this conversation, simply, the woman is interested to know the purpose of Philip asking.

    A - Obviously wrong. Its phillip's parent that are planning to travel not phillip
    B - Obviously wrong. Phillip himself is (or seemed) uncertain, so he asked the woman, and its impossible for the woman to ask what is uncertain to him
    D - The expression what for isn't intended to ask this question. This answer is somehow inaccurate

    Based on the elimination method, the correct answer is C

    C - Somehow accurate. The only option that has certain degree of accuracy compared to other option which completely inaccurate.
