Emeka put a slice of cake in the fridge before leaving for work, intending to eat it after returning. While Emeka was at work, Padma came over with her famous homemade lasagna as a surprise for Emeka's roommate, Hiroshi. Hiroshi saw the cake in the fridge and, knowing that Emeka buys a slice of cake every Friday to eat over the weekend, mistakenly assumed it was a treat from Padma. He decided to eat the cake, leaving the lasagna untouched since he wasn't hungry. When Emeka returned home, he found the lasagna in the fridge but not his cake. Assuming that Padma brought both, he was pleased and ate a portion of the lasagna. The next day, Hiroshi told Padma how much he enjoyed her lasagna and cake. Confused, Padma asked him what cake he was referring to. If Padma asks Emeka about the cake, what will Emeka think happened to the slice of cake, and why?

Respond very briefly.
Emeka will mistakenly think that Padma brought both the lasagna and the cake. His reasoning would be based on the fact that he found Padma's lasagna in the fridge in place of where he had left his cake; combined with Hiroshi's later comment on enjoying the cake, Emeka will infer that the cake Hiroshi ate was an additional gift from Padma, which was not actually the case. Emeka has no reason to doubt this conclusion without further information, as he is unaware of Hiroshi's assumption and subsequent consumption of his slice of cake.
