Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mary was the homecoming queen last year, so she is likely to be more popular and well-liked than Al, who was not invited to any of his friends' parties last year. Therefore, Mary is more likely to be friendly toward John, who knows that she was the homecoming queen, than toward Al, who does not know that she was the homecoming queen.
