Context: Those still here with exams are all going spare with worry and stress ... ... except for one select little group ... ... who do n't seem to have a care in the world ... Six o'clock today was the deadline for handing in my essays , which is the total exam . Theoretically , this could have been any time this week , but I thought that an early deadline would make them get the written work out of the way before proper sit down exams . Now I mentioned last week that some were panicking , so I allowed them a few days grace , but I was not prepared for what I found . At mid - day I examined my mail box to find one essay delivered ahead of time .

Question: Why were some students panicking ?
Options:
0. The early deadline for the essay
1. Because the written work was after the exam
2. Because the written work was before the exam
3. The grace period to turn in the essay
Answer: 0
