Someone else who was mowing the lawn borrowed my lighter ( I have it especially to use for fondues . Really . And , incidentally , was given it by another random person at a gas station ) and struck up conversation as he took a break from his work . One of my nicest encounters was on my walk to work , a couple months ago , when an old man was walking his dog . " You 're late today , " he said .

Question: Why did the old man comment that the speaker was late today ?
Answer: He is used to seeing her walk at a specific timeHe grew impatient while waiting for her to arriveHe was angry that it had taken her so long to show upNone of the above choices .
