At a family gathering, Sarah sees her cousin Emily place her phone on the kitchen counter next to a bowl of fruit. Later, while Emily is in another room, their aunt moves the phone into a drawer to make space for more food. Then, Sarah's brother accidentally spills juice on the floor near the drawer and their uncle cleans it up, placing the wet towel on top of the drawer. When Emily returns looking for her phone, where will she initially look and what might confuse her search?
Respond very briefly.
Emily will initially look for her phone on the kitchen counter where she placed it because that's the last location she remembers leaving it. When she doesn't find it there, things that might confuse her search include not seeing her phone in the immediate vicinity where she expected it to be. The presence of a wet towel on top of the drawer may further confuse her as it's an unusual place for a wet towel, and it's unlikely she will think to look inside the drawer underneath it without knowing that her aunt had moved the phone there to clear space. The spilled juice and subsequent cleaning, if she notices them, could also distract her and possibly cause her to worry if her phone was damaged, without realizing that the spill occurred after the phone was moved.
