Answer:
Explanation:
<u>The question is not full as the options are missing. The answer options are:</u>
- <u>Why does the couple take so long to buy a house? </u>
- <u>Why is the inspector late? </u>
- <u>Are house inspections a good idea? </u>
- <u>How many children does the couple have?</u>
The best question is 2. Why is the inspector late?
We know from the story the couple was saving many for a long time, and they had many inconveniences that lost them their savings before, which is why we know the answer to question 1.
We know from the story that children were 10, 12 and 15, which means they have three children; so we also have the answer to question 4.
There is no point in asking the 3rd question - as the couple wanted to make sure the house is in a good condition and that it would last, the inspection was, of course, a reasonable and good move.
<u>The only question not covered by the story is the 2nd one. We know the inspector is late, but we have no idea why, what has happened afterward or if the reason has the influence</u><u>. The story ends there at the cliff hanger, and mentioning he was late probably means it will affect the later story. That is why the best question is to see why is he late and see what is the end of the story. </u>
