LIFE IN YELLOW

Dear Exam Administrator,
 
This is a pretty confusing test. It's multiple choice, yet I'm supposed to check all answers that apply and write essays explaining my answers. Then, halfway through the exam, additional answer choices are given. What if I had already finished? The Professional Engineer exam better not be this hard. Here goes:
 
In this hypothetical situation, perhaps our inexperienced and distracted hero had thought the girl probably didn't want to come on a long drive to see people she didn't know. The girl might have rather done something else or have had responsibilities on the farm. Our hero isn't sure what to think of the girl with the strawberry scent. She is scary (in a good way), and she is really fun. His friends in the wintry far off town had said she would be welcome and have a place to stay in the closet under the stairs if she did come.
 
Our hero, on the eve before his departure, realizes a more considerate course of action would be to invite the girl and let her decide for herself. She could make the journey more enjoyable, he rationalizes, and if she gets too scary I can make her walk home.
