<!-- (Audio) Maria: What happened? Bob: Well, you mentioned we need 10 pounds of chicken wings, but I thought we agreed on 20 pounds. -->

--description--

Pounds are a unit of weight used to measure how heavy something is. For example, if a bag of apples weighs 2 pounds (for those who use the metric system, approximately 1 kilogram), it means the apples are as heavy as that.

Chicken wings are a type of food made from the wings of a chicken. They are often cooked and eaten as a snack or meal, sometimes with sauce or seasoning.

To agree on something means that two or more people share the same opinion or decision about a specific thing. For example, if you and your friend both decide to go to the movies, you can say I agree on going to the movies to tell your friend you like the plan or idea.

--questions--

--text--

What seems to be the mix-up Bob talks about?

--answers--

He imagined that Maria liked chicken wings like him

--feedback--

The discussion is not about their likes or dislikes, but the amount of food to the party.


He thought each chicken cost 20 pounds instead of 10

--feedback--

Pounds, here, does not refer to the UK currency, but to weight.


He believed Maria was a vegetarian and did not want chicken meat to be served at the party

--feedback--

It's a company party, so they might have to tend to people with different dietary habits, not only vegetarians.


He thought that they had the same idea about the amount of chicken wings that would be served at the party.
