A management server comprising a communication device and a control device,
- the communication device being configured to
- receive, from an electronic apparatus, a sound of a speech of a user, the sound of the speech being obtained by the electronic apparatus, and
- transmit, to the electronic apparatus, a response sound responding to the sound of the speech and cause the electronic apparatus to output the response sound,
- the control device being configured to
- detect, from the sound of the speech, a keyword that is a word or phrase implying narrowing down of a certain option group, and
- generate, based on the keyword, an option presenting sound which presents, to the user, one or more options included in the option group, the option presenting sound being the response sound.
