Because they have an upcoming French testNone of the above choices .Because birthdays are strange and foreign to themBecause they were cradling their textbook
Why might this person have been studying French ?
What do I need to improve on ? It 's hard to explain just how strange and foreign birthdays are to me . I 'll try to give you an explanation : Yesterday afternoon , on the bus ride home , I was studying for my French semester final . I was curled up in an awkward position , wedged inbetween my backpack and the window , cradling my textbook in my lap , and mumbling French vocabulary under my breath .
