Hi MEHMET, let's look at this chart to find the right answer for Tom's excuse.
Analyzing Tom's Plans
Sam invites Tom to watch a football match on Tuesday afternoon. So, we need to look specifically at the Tuesday column.
On Tuesday, Tom is going to the cinema from two p.m. to four p.m. This is in the afternoon, which means he is busy during Sam's invitation.
Now let's evaluate the options to find an appropriate excuse.
Evaluating Options
A) I'm sorry... I'm going to meet with my friends.
B) I'd love to. I'm available.
C) Sounds awesome... I'm going to watch a movie with my sister at home.
D) I'm afraid I can't. I'm busy in the afternoon.
Option A mentions meeting friends, but that activity is scheduled for Thursday, not Tuesday. So that is not the reason for refusing on Tuesday.
