Is this tricky or non-standard?

W1: Don't you think it's strange that we haven't started receiving any mail yet?
W2: Well, sometimes it takes awhile for the post office to forward it. I'm sure it'll come soon.
Q : What can be inferred about the speakers?

(A) They don't usually get much mail.
(B) They just moved to a new address.
(C) They pick up their mail at the post office.
(D) They are looking forward to receiving the letter

Yes, you need to know the meaning of the verb "to forward:"

2 b : to send or ship onward from an intermediate post or station in transit <forward mail>

In the US, after we move, we can send a notice of our new address to the post office. The post office will then send to our new address (our "forwarding address") mail that comes to our old address. (Although I have to say that they don't do this consistently!! [!] ) So in American English, "to forward" is a pretty common verb.

So, I agree that it is tricky, but I'd have to say that it is indeed standard.

Thanks a million, ERIN. [tm]

What about D? I think it's OK too. ?

[Vinay]

note the difference "the letter" and "any mail"
first one specifies a particular letter and the latter points towards all the mails addressed to them.

thrs no mention of a particular letter in conersation

B

Clue here is forward and not receiving their mail

[RhymeConveyer]

Oh no! [!][!][!]
The unexpected just happend...
[/size]I made a mistake!!![/size]

I answered "D" even after reading the conversation 5 times. But, even though it seems like a tricky question, can't "D" still be right? I mean, they are expecting the letter to arrive, and it's going to arrive soon, doesn't that mean that they're "looking forward" to receiving it?

Someone please explain what "looking forward" means.
