I had spent over five exhausting(令人疲乏不堪的) years on my essay for my Ph. D(哲学学士). and was anxiously preparing for my oral boards which were to be held in California, and I had
36 a flight through Minneapolis, where I was to change 37 . My flight was very late, and I was soon in an all—out run to
38 my flight. I had to stop to catch my

She responded, “Yes.”
