---It has been a wonderful evening. Thank you very much.
---__________.
A. My pleasure
B. I'm glad to hear that

I think both answers are right. Am I right?


----Can you post these letters for us on your way home?
---__________.

Could I answer " Fine".

[peterteacher]

I guess A and B are both OK, but A is better because it is responding to the last thing the person said.

IE Thank you very much. --> My pleasure.

That also makes A more polite, because you are directly acknowledging the thanks with the "my pleasure".




Re: posting the letters, I think you would want to say something more than just "fine".

"Can you post these letters for us on your way home?"

--> "Fine, no problem."
or
--> "Yeah, I can do that."
or
--> "Sure, no worries." <-Aussie style

just "Fine" sounds like you're angry and don't really want to do it.
