Quintus watches as Marcella puts a special coin in a blue box and then leaves the room. After Marcella leaves, Ophelia enters the room, moves the coin from the blue box to a red box, and then also leaves. Later, Eudora comes into the room, takes the coin from the red box, and hides it under a green pillow on the sofa without anyone else seeing. When Marcella returns, she wants to show the coin to her friend Lucius, who has just arrived. Where does Marcella think the coin is before she starts looking for it, and where will she look first? What does Quintus think happened to the coin, and where will he look? What about Ophelia; where does she think the coin is, and where will she look if asked to find it? Provide a very brief response.
Marcella will think the coin is still in the blue box because that's where she left it before leaving the room. She hasn't seen the subsequent actions of Ophelia and Eudora, so she will logically look for the coin in the blue box first. Quintus knows that Ophelia moved the coin from the blue box to the red box, but he isn't aware of Eudora's actions since he did not see what Eudora did after Ophelia left. Consequently, Quintus will think the coin is still in the red box and will look there first. Ophelia, however, is unaware of Eudora's actions since she left the room after placing the coin in the red box. Therefore, Ophelia will think the coin is where she left it, in the red box, and if asked to find the coin, she will search the red box first.
