Tony walked out of the shopping mall with his arms full of bags and the sun shining on him. As he approached his car, he started awkwardly feeling around his pockets with his arm full of bags. He did not find what he was looking for, so he transferred the bags on one arm to the other, which already had bags. Tony had a lot of bags on one arm. He still couldn't find what he was looking for. Now he dropped the bags and plunged both hands desperately into all of the pockets on his jeans. With a look of despair, Tony ran to his car. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. Then he saw something on the passenger seat of the car. He stopped looking and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Who is Tony calling?

• The manager of the store.

• The dealership where he purchased his car.

• A locksmith.

• His baby sister.

Joey sat in the dentist's chair for what felt like a lifetime. His eyes shifted from one shiny tool to the other. As the dentist approached, Joey felt his skin go clammy. He began imagining the torture that was about to ensue. When the procedure was finished, Mrs. Sanders entered the room to take Joey home. "That was the quickest appointment so far!", she exclaimed. Joey stared at her, clearly confused.

Why did time seem to go by more slowly to Joey than in reality?

• Joey was having a good time, so time slowed down.

• Time went by more quickly because Joey was enjoying himself.

• Time actually went by quickly because Mrs. Sanders had been shopping during the procedure.

• Joey was nervous about what was happening in the dentist's office.
