Georgia is struggling in the class, and she knows that Sergej is an excellent English student, so she enthusiastically agrees. Meanwhile, Sergej interprets her enthusiasm as a sign that she might have a crush on him, and he therefore suggests that the two of them grab a bite to eat together before studying; Georgia is very attractive, he thinks to himself, so why not? Georgia, meanwhile, who is completely clueless about what is on Sergej's mind, muses to herself, well, that is so nice of him to think that I might be hungry; what a nice study partner The fact that Sergej and Georgia interpret things so differently here is most consistent with ____.
