Falak invites Miremba and Jia to her home for a surprise birthday party for their friend, Priyansh. Miremba arrives early and helps Falak decorate. Before Priyansh arrives, Jia calls Falak and says she's bringing a friend, Youssef, who Priyansh has never met. Jia and Youssef arrive first, followed by Priyansh. During the surprise, Priyansh looks momentarily confused when he sees Youssef. After the party, Falak notices that the gift from Miremba is missing. She asks Miremba and Jia if they've seen it. Miremba says no, and Jia says she saw Priyansh put a gift in his car thinking it was his by mistake because it was next to Youssef's gift. Assuming everyone is telling the truth, whose gift did Priyansh likely mistake for his own and take? Respond briefly.
Priyansh likely mistook Miremba's gift for his own. Since Miremba arrived early to help Falak with the decorations, it would make sense that she would have placed her gift in the designated area before any others arrived. Given that Jia saw Priyansh put a gift into his car, thinking it was his, and presumed it was because it was next to Youssef's gift, we can infer that the placement of the gifts contributed to the confusion. Since everyone else at the party would have known Youssef was bringing a gift as Jia's plus one, Priyansh would have no reason to believe that Youssef's gift was for him. However, being unfamiliar with Youssef and seeing a gift next to what he perceives to be Youssef's may have led Priyansh to mistakenly believe Miremba's gift, which was there earlier and likely next to Youssef's later, was an additional gift for him. This reasoning is supported by the fact that Priyansh was surprised to see Youssef at his birthday party and may not have been fully aware of which gifts were meant for him, and Miremba's gift being missing ties the two observations together.
