Kyoko is allergic to cats, and Jaswinder knows this because they are best friends. Babatunde is not aware of Kyoko's allergy and has recently adopted a cat named Mochi. One day, Babatunde invites Kyoko and Jaswinder to his house for a dinner party. Jaswinder tells Kyoko that Babatunde has a cat, but Kyoko forgets about his new pet until she arrives and starts sneezing uncontrollably. Although Kyoko did not mention her allergy to Babatunde before the dinner, Babatunde quickly realizes the reason for her sneezing.

1. How does Babatunde probably find out about Kyoko's allergy?
2. Why didn't Kyoko remember to tell Babatunde about her allergy before arriving?
3. Knowing Kyoko is sneezing because she is at Babatunde's house, what might Jaswinder be thinking?
Provide a brief response.
Babatunde likely infers Kyoko's allergy through a process of elimination and understanding of common allergies. Observing her sneezing in his home where Mochi is present, and knowing that sneezing can be a symptom of an allergic reaction, Babatunde connects the dots and realizes Kyoko is allergic to cats. Since he probably knows that allergies like this are not uncommon, he does not require direct confirmation from Kyoko to reach this conclusion.

Kyoko likely didn't remember to tell Babatunde about her allergy beforehand because when Jaswinder mentioned Babatunde's cat, it was not in a context that immediately required her to think about the consequences of being around cats, such as an imminent visit to a cat owner's house. The information about Mochi might have been forgotten or seemed unimportant to Kyoko at that moment, as she did not equate it with the need to share her allergy information. It is often the case that people remember relevant information when the context of its importance arises.

Jaswinder might be feeling a mixture of concern and responsibility. Concern for Kyoko's comfort and well-being because she is allergic and is now being exposed to an allergen, and responsibility because Jaswinder, as Kyoko's friend and the one who was aware of the allergy and the presence of the cat, could think that she should have reminded Kyoko to inform Babatunde of her allergy. Jaswinder might also be considering how to alleviate the situation, possibly pondering an apology for not reminding Kyoko or thinking of a way to help reduce Kyoko's exposure to the cat during the visit.
