Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

My coat's pretty warm, even though it cost £9.99 and came from the flea market. It had a label in it, CHRISTIN BIOR, but I cut it out as soon as I got home.

I can already see: It's a god-awful day. They've been having a lot of problems on our line recently and keep cancelling trains with no warning.

Which of the following situations creates a 'bad day' for the author?
