Read in Context
A Busy Supermarket
Lena visited the supermarket after work to buy ingredients for dinner. She picked up vegetables in the produce section and then walked down the cereal aisle to find her favorite brand. Near the next aisle, a worker was restocking shelves while customers compared prices. Lena noticed that a shopping cart had been left in the middle of the aisle, making it difficult for an older man to pass. She moved the cart aside and continued shopping. At the checkout, she remembered that she had forgotten milk. Rather than abandoning her place in line, she asked an employee where to find it. A quick trip required more attention than she had expected.
