Rita: My uncle gave me this painting last year. It's not really my taste.
Leah: Hmm. Well, you could have taken it back to the store.
Rita: I couldn't have done that. He painted it himself. And anyway, I wouldn't have wanted to upset him.
Leah: Well, I guess the only thing you could have done was smile and say thank you.
Rita: That's exactly what I did. I wouldn't have said anything else. Though I guess I should have sounded a little more enthusiastic.
1. What else could I have said?
2. How would you have reacted?
3. Would you have hung it up?
