Sagot :

Answer:

b

Explanation:

it could've been a, but for what it is mostly about b makes more sense cause it mentioned things the man did with his time such as when it talks about him spending an hour turning over books

it doesn't seem like a cause books in general isn't that special because you can't rush everything. it cant be c cause the person wanting to buy the book didn't want to pay the price that was asked, the clerk wasn't wrong, also it never said the specific price or what kind of book the man wanted to buy so d wouldn't be right and it said everything when the man just wanted a book
