B : Oh, I’m so sorry, I’ve got another appointment for tonight. 4. Assessment-disagreement, the second pair part disagrees with something that is assessed by the first pair part. A : I have done this job well, haven’t I? B : Nonsense, there are still many mistakes on your job. 5. Question-unexpected answer, when the second part gives an unexpected answer to the question which is asked by the first part. A : So, chiropodists do hands I guess, don’t they?
