“A book.”
This answers the question:
**「お見舞いに何を持って行きますか。」**
(What will they bring as a get‑well gift?)
✔ They consider **flowers**, but the woman says flowers are too ordinary.
✔ They consider **fruit or sweets**, but the man says sick people may not be allowed to eat certain things.
✔ They consider **drinks**, but they don’t choose that.
✔ Finally, the woman suggests a **book**, because Tanaka-san likes reading and will be bored while lying in bed.
→ The man agrees:
**「でも好きなものがあるならそのほうがいいですね。」**
(“If he likes it, that’s better.”)
→ So they decide to bring **a book**.
Example:
「じゃあ、本は? 田中さん、本が好きだから。」
