a) Jason is not responding to text messages.
b) The group is avoiding discussing Jason's situation.
c) They are going out for lunch.
d) The total cost of lunch is $20.

Answer 1

The question is about the group avoiding discussing Jason's situation and going out for lunch, and the phrase 'Put it on my account, please' indicates a pre-arrangement with the restaurant for payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Social Studies and it is suitable for High School level students.

From the given information, it can be understood that the group is avoiding discussing Jason's situation. They mention that Jason is 'in the doghouse' and suggest dropping the subject and going out for lunch. The total cost of lunch is not mentioned in the question, so option d) cannot be determined to be correct.

Put it on my account, please is a phrase used to request the payment for the meal to be charged to their personal account, indicating that they may have a pre-arrangement with the restaurant for payment.
