Read the below conversation.

W: What's the matter, Paul? You look terrible.

M: I've just taken my chemistry exam and I'm pretty sure I failed it. I don't know where the professor got some of those questions. I don't see how in the world I could pass.

W: Come on now. You've been doing very well all year long. It's not very likely you'd suddenly forget everything. Oh, by the way, have the physics grades been posted yet?

M: I didn't go and look. I was so busy worrying about chemistry. Do you think there's any possibility of me passing for the year if I fail the final?

What would the listener say?


W: Sure there is. It's the average that is important. Come on. Just relax. How about having a cup of coffee?
