In the living room, Zara puts her favorite pen on the coffee table and leaves the room. While she is gone, Priam enters the room and moves the pen to the bookshelf. Then Priam leaves, and shortly after, Elodie enters and takes the pen to her room. Later, Zara and Priam come back looking for the pen. Where will Zara and Priam look for the pen first, and what will they think happened to it if they cannot find it?
Zara will look for the pen on the coffee table first because that is where she left it. When she does not find it there, she will likely think that someone moved it or that it was misplaced. Not knowing what transpired after she left, she may simply be confused or assume someone took it without knowing it was her favorite. Priam, on the other hand, will look on the bookshelf first since that's where he moved it to. Upon not finding it there, Priam might assume someone else took it after he left it on the shelf or that Zara retrieved it but will be unaware that Elodie was involved. Neither Zara nor Priam have any information about Elodie's actions, so they would not consider that she could have the pen unless they are given a reason to suspect that Elodie came into the room after them.
