hey dude, ur not gonna believe what happened last night!
i was driving down main st. and there was a guy tailing me. i wasnt afraid at first, but then i made a wrong turn and noticed he was STILL behind me. thats when i started to get freaked out. i just kept driving around thinking that he would leave me alone but he didnt! i drove for two hours, man! anyways, i had to stop eventually to get gas because i was out and i was so scared to get off because the guy was still following me and so i went inside the gas station and bought a coke because why not and he came up to me saying i left my hat at the store! he was following me to return it.
anyways, i hope ur doing good and whatever. see u soon.
The reason is because in the sentence they used the adjective painstakingly to describe how he walked across the street. The definition for painstakingly is "with great care and thoroughness." So if you find the adjective and find the definition you'll get the answer.
