The transcript below is from a mother's after-hours telephone call to an on-call doctor. Focus exclusively on the three question-answer sequences beginning at lines 39, 43, and 56 and answer these questions for each sequence: 1) Does the question have a grammatical preference? If so, is the preference for a "yes" or "no" type response, and what is it about the form of the question that does this? 2) Does the question have a biomedical or social preference? If so, what sort of answer is preferred on that basis? 3) Is the question optimized, or not? How so? If it's not, how would you explain the doctor's decision not to optimize that particular question? 4) Briefly comment on the mom's response in terms of whether she aligns with the optimizing (or non-optimizing) stance, or whether she resists that stance. Format: Analyze each sequence in the order in which they appear, and address all four of the questions above for each sequence before moving on to the next sequence.
