Question:
My engagement ring is missing again . I can remember lying on my bed with my head towards the fan and the ring on my finger and I was trading from finger to finger , from engaged hand to married hand . I can not remember though whether that was when I fell asleep last night , or when I napped early this morning , or when I caught ten winks this afternoon , or whether tonight . I ' ve been napping a lot lately .

Why does the narrator feel panicked ?

None of the above choices .

Question:
Last night was the worst night of the trip as far as the rolling of the ship . When it gets like this , things really move around -- cabinet doors that are not tightly secured fly open and the contents spill out on the floor . When we woke up there were papers on the floor that had vibrated off the desk and one of the cabinets had spilled out . The library in the lounge had disgorged all of its books which were spread from one end of the room to the other , plus the scrabble pieces were also dumped out .

Why did the the books end up on the floor ?
Answer:
Because the ship hit rough water .

Question:
I found myself considerably less well - prepared to sing one of the roles I ' m understudying than I had thought , routinely missing cues from Maestro and , when asked , I claimed I did n't know one of the aria ( I go back and forth in my mind as to whether such was the appropriate answer : it 's definitely not performance ready , but I could ' ve stumbled through for rehearsal purposes , I suppose ) . Given how much I ' ve been talked up to this director and what a good impression I made from the first show , I felt very deeply ashamed by my failure here . Today was even worse .

What type of profession does the narrator have ?
Answer:
The narrator is a performer .
