Hi Ceylan, let's solve this dialogue completion question together by looking at the context.
Dialogue Analysis
First, let's look at what Hank says. He asks if Lily's dad is there because he wants to speak to him right now.
Hank: Is your dad there? May I speak to him?
Now let's look at Lily's response. She starts with 'I'm afraid he...', which usually introduces bad news or an explanation for why something isn't possible.
Lily: I'm afraid he ____. He will come back at 5 p.m.
The key is the second part of her sentence: 'He will come back at 5 p.m.' This tells us that the father is currently not at home or not available.
Now let's evaluate our options based on that information.
