＜状況＞
寮に住む四人の学生（Mary， Jimmy， Lisa， Kota）が、就職後に住む場所について話し合っています。

Mary：Yay！ We all got jobs downtown！ I’m so relieved and excited.
Jimmy：You said it， Mary！ So， are you going to get a place near your office or in the suburbs？
Mary：Oh， definitely close to the company. I’m not a morning person， so I need to be near the office. You should live near me， Lisa！
Lisa：Sorry， Mary. The rent is too expensive. I want to save money. How about you， Kota？
Kota：I’m with you， Lisa. I don’t mind waking up early and commuting to work by train. You know， while commuting I can listen to music.
Jimmy：Oh， come on， you guys. We should enjoy the city life while we’re young. There are so many things to do downtown.
Mary：Jimmy’s right. Also， I want to get a dog. If I live near the office， I can get home earlier and take it for longer walks.
Lisa：Mary， don’t you think your dog would be happier in the suburbs， where there’s a lot more space？
Mary：Yeah， you may be right， Lisa. Hmm， now I have to think again.
Kota：Well， I want space for my training equipment. I wouldn’t have that space in a tiny downtown apartment.
Jimmy：That might be true for you， Kota. For me， a small apartment downtown is just fine. In fact， I’ve already found a good one.
Lisa：Great！ When can we come over？

会話が終わった時点で、街の中心部に住むことに決めた人を、四つの選択肢のうちから一つ選びなさい。
