Hi Drn, let's solve this dialogue ordering puzzle together.
Ordering the Dialogue
To find the correct order, we should look for how a typical phone conversation starts at a workplace. Generally, the receiver greets first.
1. Greeting by the receiver
Sentence number three is a perfect opening. It says, Good morning, Fame Computer. How can I help you? This identifies the business and welcomes the caller.
III. Good morning, Fame Computer...
Now, how would the caller respond? Sentence five fits perfectly. Leo introduces himself and asks for Miss Brown.
V. Hello. Leo is calling. Can I talk to Ms. Brown?
2. Sentence V: Caller introduces himself

I. I'm afraid, she is in a meeting now.
3. Sentence I: Receiver explains she is busy
