Hi,
Attached is a segment of a dialog. In the beginning, the narrator asks the student to say, "Ask her if she ...." Sounds like "if she is sleeping". But then it does not make sense, since she answers, "Come in, I am listening to the weather report." Why would you ask someone who is in the office if she is sleeping.
So what is the word being use in the beginning?
