  2. $1500 is the original amount of money that the kidnappers decide to set as the ransom, but then they decide that they need more money, so they ask for $2000
  3. All of the answers here are correct and accurate
  4. $2,000 is the amount of money that Sam and Bill originally planned to ask in ransom, but Bill asked Sam to lower the ransom amount to $1500 for fear that $2000 might be too much to ask
