Discussion: The absence of an [s] on the end of marx prevented S1 from identifying the person correctly. She put a question mark against dalai lama, indicating that she knew it was merely a guess.

Without hearing Karl Marx, it is hard to catch the quote about opium. In fact even when she was told that the name was Karl Marx, S1 was unable to hear opium, because she did not know the reference to 'opium of the masses' by Marx. The lack of a clear of after opium also maybe contributed to the problem.
