IN: So my niece went home for the school year this last week . I still have my son with me , but it is alot more peaceful around here now that there is only one child running around ! We celebrated his birthday this week , and went into the city to do some touristy stuff . It was alot of fun , I got some great photos , my wife got some photos of me , and we ate great food .
Why does the narrator seem more serene ?

OUT: None of the above choices .

IN: It 's been a month exactly since I last posted . I ' ve been pretty busy since then with school , but I ' ve had this week off , except for working . to be honest I ' ve gotten quite bored .
What may have happened if there is no week off or the week off request from school was not granted ?

OUT: I would have been assigned tasks that is certain to keep me occupied .

IN: I agree with the sentiment that you can make a lovely drink with vodka and vermouth , but it 's no martini . For me , it needs to consist of ice - cold gin , a smidgen of vermouth , perhaps a bit of olive juice , and a big olive skewered on one of various cocktail picks that seem to reproduce nightly in our dining room . Shaken , not stirred , and poured into the glass quickly before any of the ice in the shaker can melt . While I love stories of extra - dry martini rituals , like FDR making his martinis by filling the shaker with gin and then glancing at the vermouth bottle across the room , I am not militant about the exact amount of vermouth to go in the glass .
What may be a fact about this person 's drinking habits ?

OUT:
They are a picky drinker .
