Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option "he got caught in traffic congestion near the railway station" is the only one that refers to traffic, which is a plausible cause for someone to arrive late to a meeting. The other three options - a rail strike, the installation of new gas pipes, and a dog eating breakfast - are not likely explanations for a late arrival.
