It was n't a place I recognized , but it looked breathtaking -- more so , perhaps , than any other pictures I ' ve seen of Norway . It was n't just the steep and wobbly landscape that was so stunning . It was also the two super - tall , super - skinny fishing houses that sat out alongside a weather - beaten pier . OPTIONS:
- None of the above choices .
- The author is near a new city .
- The author is near a body of water .
- The author is near a beach .

A: What can you assume the author is nearby ?

Counters for nearly all other flights were displayed , ours was missing . So we walked by the counters again and again , those showing all kinds of destinations , but not Langkawi . Finally we discovered two counters without displays and yes , we guessed correctly . OPTIONS:
- The airline could not afford signage and so they did n't bother to have any
- None of the above choices .
- The route we were taking is less popular than most other flights and subsequently it was not advertised or contained with the more popular flights
- The airline had forgotten that there were some people on this flight besides just couriering and so they rushed to get a counter set up and did n't have time to include signage

A: Why do you think your flight did not have a labeled counter ?

Only reason you 're reading this now . As I mentioned I was feeling exhausted ... so Saturday night rolls around and at 7:00 p.m. I completely passed out in my armchair . Ended up NOT going to the party at the friend 's house that I 'd been looking forward to all week . OPTIONS:
- I had to work
- I was sleeping
- I forgot
- I needed to study

A: What may be the reason I did not go to the party ?

I imagined sitting and smoking the shisha again , which so perfectly slows down the flow of time . Talking in our unpolished english about religion and politics and women and our biographies . Judging from the dark void punctuated by these few signs , we could be headed everywhere , Chiapas maybe , or Athens , or Sassari . OPTIONS:
- It is connected to a machine that can alter brainwaves to slow time perception
- The shisha coupled with good conversation seems to prolong the flow of events
- The shisha is laced with a psychedelic drug that majorly alters time perception
- It takes so long to smoke that it makes time seem much slower in comparison

A:
What about shisha causes it to slow down the perception of time ?
