Imagine that Amara left a precious heirloom, a family ring, on a table in the main room before leaving on a trip. Chenzira, who is Amara's friend and housemate, knows that Amara always leaves the ring on that particular table. However, Tendai, Amara's cousin, who came for a visit after Amara left, does not know this fact. Chenzira saw Amara place the ring on the table, but had to leave for work in a rush. Tendai, thinking the ring was misplaced, picked it up and put it inside Amara's jewelry box in her bedroom for safekeeping. When Chenzira comes back and does not see the ring on the table, where does she think the ring is and why? What does she think Tendai assumes about the ring's location? Provide a brief response.
Chenzira, upon not seeing the ring on the table, would initially think that the ring is where it was originally left by Amara, which is on the table in the main room. This is because she is aware that Amara always leaves her ring there and had directly observed it before leaving for work. Upon noticing the ring's absence, Chenzira might think of alternative explanations which could include someone moving it. Without specific information about Tendai moving the ring, Chenzira would not immediately consider the jewelry box in the bedroom as the ring's new location. However, regarding Tendai's assumptions, Chenzira might infer that Tendai, not knowing Amara's habit, might have believed the ring was misplaced and put it somewhere safe. Without knowing that Tendai placed the ring into the jewelry box, Chenzira cannot accurately guess where Tendai thinks the ring should be. Chenzira might assume that Tendai would expect her to know where the ring is, since they both live there, and might check with Chenzira about its proper place. If Chenzira observes that Tendai seems unconcerned about the ring's absence from the table, she might deduce that Tendai has moved it, but without further information, she would not know precisely where Tendai placed it.
