If a person is invited to dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after.

When the guest cannot come off time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come. No exception in the first sentence can be explained by
A. the same
B. different
C. particular
D. polite
