Hi, my dear teachers! I need your help again. The other day I listened to a dialogue and came across such a question. The dialogue goes as follows.
Tom: Hi, Jack. Tomorrow is Christmas Day and my birthday is in two days. I will have a party then and I wish you could come to my birthday party.
Jack: Sure. I will.
Question: When is Tom's birthday?
A. 27th December B. 26th December
I think the right answer is B, because "in two days" means after two days from now. But the given answer is A.
I am not clear which one is the right one according to your culture. And if I were Jack, I would not know when I should go to Tom's party.
Thanks a lot! Your answer is greatly appreciated.
