Question
Use the passage to answer the question.
Pierce often went to the market on Sundays. He found that there were usually fewer people there. However, this Sunday was rather unusual, as the market counters were lined with people. Pierce tapped his foot as he stood in line behind a woman and her two children. As she slowly extricated each item from her cart to place it on the counter, a scowl began to form on Pierce’s face.
“Here, let me help you,” Pierce begrudgingly murmured.
“That would be helpful. Thank you,” said the woman.
Pierce grabbed as many items as he could, dumping them on the counter in record time. After she paid for her groceries, Pierce made his way to the checkout, frustrated at how long it all was taking.
