💡 Detailed Explanation
The man was planning to contact volunteers, but the woman informs him of an urgent matter: a rental company needs a response to their quote by the end of the day. The man decides to postpone contacting the volunteers and says, "I'll call the company right away and ask them to email me the quote." Ordering the equipment can only happen after he receives and reviews the quote. Therefore, the first thing the man must do is call the rental company to get the quote.
