The woman's research paper Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation. The woman has split some soup on her research paper, which she is going to hand in within 15 minutes. There are two possible solutions for her problem. The first is she could hand in this paper and explain what happened to the professor. However, as the professor requires very specific format for the research paper, it seems that he cares about the looking. The second is she could go to the computer lab and print another copy, but there is not enough time left, she would be late for the class, and the professor is strict about lateness. Personally, I prefer the first choice. As she mentioned, the paper will dry out in a few minutes, the professor can still read it. Although the looking of the paper is not so good, the professor would understand her because of the explanation. Besides, she can hand it in on time.
