<span class="correct-explanation">Although Jean begins by saying 'Please take a seat. Anywhere you like', he quickly shouts 'no!', and tells Brian that he cannot sit in a certain chair. To 'allow' someone to do something is to 'let' or 'permit them to' do it. Since Jean doesn't let Brian sit in a particular chair, we can say that he doesn't 'allow' his guests to sit wherever they like. Although Jean says to Brian </span><span class="correct-explanation">that he cannot sit in a certain chair, he had FIRST saying "take a seat anywhere you like" so the answer is TRUE </span>
