Why are the shades drawn? (A) Since it was too long. (B) Because I don't like the sun. (C) The windows are open.
The answer to this question-response type of question is B. However, I am confused about what "the shades are drawn" really means? Does it mean a dark place in a picture was drawn, or just a real window shade was pulled? Please advise.
