    W: This is just about the worst coffee I've ever had.
    M: I couldn't agree less.
    N: What does the man mean?

    (A) He would like more coffee.
    (B) He thinks the woman should complain.
    (C) He also dislikes the coffee.
    (D) He thinks the coffee does not taste bad.


    Why the answer is D. I think the answer is C. Can anyone help me?
    Thx!

    Hey Happy,the man says 'I couldnt agree less'- which means he does not agree with the woman's statement.
    If the man had said 'I couldnt agree more'- that would mean he agrees with the woman's statement. Got it?

    (C) He also dislikes the coffee.
    (D) He thinks the coffee does not taste bad.
    The problem is the second sentence, "I couldn't agree less".
    Perhaps, you have heard a sentence like " I couldn't agree more", which means I greatly agree with you. On the other hand, " I couldn't agree less" means I hardly agree with you.
    So, the answer C, which means the man agrees with the woman's opinion, is incorrect, while D means that he disagrees with her opinion, which the coffee is the worst one.
