Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
She called her brother at work. She knew he didn’t like to be interrupted but she didn’t know what else to do. Their mother’s condition was deteriorating.
He sounded annoyed when he answered the phone; he was probably in the middle of a meeting. She apologized and stressed that she wouldn’t have called if she hadn’t thought it was urgent. His tone changed instantly. He asked her what was happening and if everything was all right. He wanted to know if the doctor had been notified and when he would be coming to see their mother. He sounded very stressed and worried.
She tried to reassure him by telling him that the nurse was at home looking after their mother and their aunt and that everything was under control. He asked her to wait for a minute while he took care of something. She heard him speak to some people, probably clients. She heard the words “family emergency” and “health” and realized he was excusing himself. Then there was some noise of chairs being pulled, people moving, and a door opening and then closing. He came back and explained that he had had to interrupt the meeting and reschedule it for another day. She thanked him for having done that and before she had a chance to ask, he interrupted and asked her to hang up so he could be on his way home as soon as possible.

1

2
