A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案)

Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a department store owned by their father. After the father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register（收银机）. But when he returned, the money was gone.

Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?” Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept questioning. “Twenty-dollar bills can’t get up and walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it.” Gary was unhappy. Tempers began to rise and resentment（怨恨）grew. “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin replied with anger.
