Kasim left his diary in the study room where he had been working with his friends Darnell and Elif. Later, Hina entered the room while Kasim was away. She noticed the diary on the table, and assuming it belonged to Elif, she gave it to her. Elif, realizing the diary was not hers, decided to keep it safe until she could return it to Kasim. In the meantime, Kasim returned to the study room looking for his diary. He asked Darnell if he had seen it, but Darnell had not noticed Hina taking the diary away. How will Kasim likely reason about the whereabouts of his diary, and whom will he believe has his diary now?

Provide a very brief response.
Kasim, upon not finding his diary in the study room where he left it, would likely first assume that either Darnell or Elif, the friends he was working with, might know of its whereabouts. Since Hina's involvement is unknown to him, Kasim would reasonably dismiss the possibility of someone else interfering. When asking Darnell yields no information, he might deduce that Darnell has not seen it or does not know where it is. This would likely lead Kasim to assume that Elif, being the only other person present earlier, might have his diary or at least knows where it is. Without the knowledge of Hina's actions, Kasim would probably conclude that Elif has his diary or is aware of its location, considering that she was in the room when he last saw it.
