If you don't quite have this passage branded into your brain yet, hit pause and take another gander...

00:15

Why is the narrator so upset?

00:18

And here are the potential answers:

00:23

Ok, what is this question asking?

00:25

Basically, it wants to know if we're paying attention.

00:30

Is it because her friends are abandoning her to hang out at an event she's not invited

00:35

Yeah, her friends will be out having fun without her... but she doesn't blame it on them.

00:40

She blames it on this mysterious "he" she keeps talking about.

00:44

Is she upset because she decides to stay home to study?

00:47

Well, if it was her decision, we're not sure what cause she'd have to be upset.

00:52

No, not that one either. Is it because she's locked in a dungeon

00:56

and there is no one to rescue her?

00:58

My my... what an imagination we have.

01:00

No... she's upset because she's missing an important event... and we can reasonably

01:04

assume it's her dad who's throwing down the hammer.

01:08

Our answer is B.
