- (I) always eat at 9 o’clock.
- (I) always work until 7 o’clock.
- I get in ofuro after I ate.
Answer : 1
The second option is wrong since the writer always eat at 7 o’clock after entering ofuro or taking a bath. But today since the writer came late, the writer had a chance to eat at 9 o’clock.
The third option is also wrong since he doesn’t always work until 7 o’clock. It is on the contrary with the above passage, the writer always in a normal situation have dinner at 7 o’clock after entering ofuro or taking a bath.
The fourth option is also wrong. If it is in a normal situation the writer really take a bath first and after take a bath or entering ofuro the writer take dinner at 7 o’clock. But from the above passage we can take the information that today since the writer came late from the office the writer first of all take dinner at 9 o’clock and then the writer take a bath or entering ofuro.
The first option is true since it is stated in the last sentence in the above paragraph that the writer don’t stay up late night as a habitual action.
