Hi!

Conversation

A: Why didn’t you go to school yesterday?
B: I stayed home because I wasn’t feeling well.
A: What was your problem?
B: My stomach was bothering me.
A: Are you feeling any better?
B: I’m still feeling a little sick.
A: I’m going to the store, would you like any Pepto Bismol?
B: That’s okay. ←←←
A: I hope you feel better. ←←←
B: I’d appreciate that.

That’s okay and I hope you feel better are not in the audio file. (That’s strange!!!)

So, is “I’d appreciate that” OK?

I mean is “I’d appreciate that” correct answer to “would you like any Pepto Bismol?”

like this:
A: I’m going to the store, would you like any Pepto Bismol?
B: I’d appreciate that.

Because I have to remove “That’s okay” and “I hope you feel better” from the conversation.

Thank you

Yes, “I’d appreciate that” can be the correct response to the question “Would you like any Pepto Bismol?” meaning “Yes, it would be great if you could bring me some Pepto Bismol”.

This sounds like an alternate response to the question. So these two lines would replace “I’d appreciate that.”.

“I’d appreciate that” is “yes” ( There is also an implied “thank you”. )
“That’s Okay” is a “no”.

So these are two alternate responses. There may be another recording with the alternate response.
