What type of Question is this?

I chose (B) as an answer but the correct answer is (C).

I anticipated correctly but chose the wrong answer. Why is (B) Basis wrong? Their basis of intention is both different.

    This is a Miscellaneous question, but I think I've seen one of these in recent PTs as well.

    It's true that their basis are different, but the question is asking for a word used by Mary Simms that Jack Jordan misinterpreted.

    When Mary is saying "our business," she means the business of her outdoor advertising company (the company which puts up billboards, I assume).

    But it is clear that when Jack says "our business," he is referring to the business of the Baysville area as a whole. So Jack misinterpreted what "our" means.
