Problem: For the first time in ages , I had Friday night free . I dropped the young man off in the city for a stag party , and then returned home to enjoy my evening in the garden and then later in the house when the thunderstorm arrived . Saturday the young man went back to the stag do ( it was an all weekend thing but he 'd opted to just stay over Saturday night ) and my sister came round . We walked up to the local retail park and wandered around the shops .

Was Friday a busy work night ?

A: I was off on Friday .

Problem: It 's stressful enough during normal operation , trying to remember how many people each car type holds so I do n't over or under load it , or delay in the station . ... Then we went 101.Think about this kids ... what does it take for a ride with 3 individual trains , all with their own steam - powered engines , to go 101 ? It almost never happens . But would n't you know , it goes down on my very rare shift on the ride .

What may be a plausible fact about the speaker ?

A: Their job stresses them out .

Problem: Please . " Dean looks away , eyes wet and Sam just nods and takes the money from him , slips it into his pocket , unsure of what to say , but Dean does n't leave him the opportunity to say anything before he hurries from the room . The next day Dean drives Sam to the bus station , the car is filled with a palpable silence so thick Sam feels like he 's suffocating . Words unsaid hang in the air between them as they both pretend they 're fine .

What may be the reason for pretending to be fine ?

A:
They 're protecting each other .
