Problem: Not that I believed that it was going to end soon . It had been pouring all day . Why should it stop now ? Dad got into the car , drove for a moment and parked outside what looked ( as far as I could tell ) like an ordinary house .

What was it that I did not believe would end soon .

A: I did n't think it would quit raining since we were having a downpour .

Problem: She never had her own children , and my family feels too small , so we ' ve glommed on to each other and enjoyed the relationship to its fullest . She is faithfully cleaning out the cupboards and decided she was ready to bequeath her sugar and creamer to my tea party - loving girls . A gift to her parents when they were we d in 1926 , she could not have chosen more grateful recipients .

What has the narrator kind of done with the woman with no children ?

A: Joined their small families .

Problem: Now , neither of these words has ever been used to describe any of my athletic efforts so I just waited apprehensively until I was called to run 30 feet , pick up a block , transport it 30 feet back to the starting line and do this all over again in - if I wanted to get solidly on the road to a blue award - less than 10.5 seconds . I had just got done watching one bigger , athletic girl run it in 9.8 seconds and another small , non - athletic female in 11.3 . I was confident , especially since my running mate , Kayla , was the fastest girl in the class .

What may be the reason I am happy Kayla is the fastest girl ?

A:
We are running a relay race and we need fast runners .
